: : I have tried the -vsync option, but I can't see any difference at all. What game should I try to see if it is working?

: Try something like Bank Panic - when moving left/right, the scrolling should be REALLY smoothe. Could also test using Traverse USA or Battle Flip Shot which has a diagonally scrolling background on the attract screen (insert a coin).

: *However* if you play from Windows, you probably wont notice much of a change as Windows will be there in the background, constantly interrupting the smoothe scrolling :(

: The fact that you didnt get any error when using -vsync probably means it's working. Do u get an error when using it on games like R-Type, SmashTV, Moon Patrol etc., which all use odd refresh rates?

: Cheers

Yes the -vsync option works great on Bank Panic and the others you listed.

However, of the odd-refresh rate games with -vsync enabled:

R-Type: wouldn't load
Smash TV: wouldn't load
Moon Patrol: worked great

Let me know if there is anything else you would like me to try.
