waitvsync: on = sound hiccups, off = video ripples
06/16/16 03:08 AM


I'm running Mame 0.174 on Ubuntu 16.04 on a new Skylake i3 with Intel 530 graphics, on an LCD display.

In mame.ini, when I have waitvsync set to 1, there is a very slight hiccup to the audio every few seconds. If I set waitvsync to 0, the sound is fine but (of course) the video ripples slightly but noticeably when things are redrawn, as can be expected when the redraws aren't waiting for vsync.

How can I get the best of both worlds: smooth audio with solid video?

I see there used to be a name.ini setting for "triplebuffer", but it looks like that's gone now; and I see there's a new setting for "syncrefresh" but it doesn't seem to do anything.
