In Reply to: How about upgrading your processor to a 1.3 GHZ Athalon then they should all run at 60FPS ~NT~ posted by Johnpurs on 12, 2001 at 8:01 AM:
I believe he is referring to the recent changes that switched certain game's maximum fps to values other than 60 because the originals had other values. I have heard people say this made said games 'jumpy' to play. I don't have any experience with any of these games so I have no idea how complex the changes are. My advice to someone who doesn't know C programming is make sure you can successfully compile MAME with no changes first, then make experimental changes, making sure to keep backups of the files you change so you can reverse anything that doens't work properly. Don't expect to figure it out right away, but don't be afraid to try either.
: : Although it may sound like a heresy to MAME purists, I'd like to recompile MAME32 or StretchMAME32 in order to modify all games to run at 60fps, specifically those games running at 53, 55, 57... and very specially CPS2 games which now run with jerky scrolls at 59.63hz (I'm using a PC with Win98 and a multisync monitor at 60hz). I know the speed of these games would not be accurate, but that would not be a problem for me at all. I have downloaded all the source codes and the tools needed. Now, I'd like to know: is this possible? What should I look for on this large list of files? I don't know C, but a friend of mine does. Do you think this modification is possible and not extremelly complex for someone who does not know well the structure of MAME's source code?
: : Thankyou, and please don't answer recommending me to use DOS MAME or Advanced MAME.
