Like most people when running games in mame my setup exhibits screen tear, if I enable Triplebuffer it stops this but I seem to have another issue while this is enabled.
The issue I am having is quite difficult to describe but its like I get extra/ghost controller inputs for example if you were to press left once, on occassion it would triple the input and you would see extra movement on screen.
To be fair I am using a fairly old version of mame, mame.83 to be precise and It does mention a problem with the Triplebuffer option of this version in the documentation.
So I suppose my question is does anyone know if this issue was addressed in a later build of mame or is there any other options that I can tweak to stop/minimize the screen tear? The reason I choose this version for my setup was I found that It was most compatible with the games I wanted on my system and when upgrading to a newer version you run the risk of some games no longer being supported.
