--- How To Make Asteroids In Mame Run Smooth Again ---
(note: also works for all clones and asteroids deluxe)
this regards the mametesters report which was closed without any action being taken:
http://www.mametesters.org/view.php?id=4398
(by the way, if anyone wants to see the problem with asteroids since mame 0.109... load the game, aim your spaceship in any direction, fly at full speed, and notice the spaceship 'jerks along' instead of flies smoothly.. also the small/fast rocks jerk along as they move across the screen..)
ok so i noticed AWJ's comments in the mametesters report and managed to get asteroids running smooth by doing the following (note: im using mameui latest version)
1. turn on cheats (note: u dont need to have cheat.zip in your mame folder, just turn on cheats anyway)
2. load asteroids (or asteroids deluxe, or clones...)
3. bring up the mame Config Menu
4. go into the Slider Controls menu
5. change the Screen Refresh Rate from 60.000 to 61.500
6. now the just play the game as normal. fast moving objects like your spaceship at full speed or fast moving small rocks are moving smooth again
note: you may also need to use vsync/triple buffer to get smooth results (depending on your setup etc)
