Hello again folks, I dont know where to put this thread, so mods and admins please move it to the right place, if you think it dont belongs here. Yesterday i started to read the docs of advanceMAME and find out a nice feature... Speed Control AdvanceMAME permits a special speed control of the game play. You can play the game in a faster way, change arbitrarily the frame rate, skip the game startup process at the maximum speed, or skip the game animations pressing a key. Press `asterisk_pad' to enable the `turbo' mode. Press `minus_pad' to mark the time of the real game start. The next time the game is started, it will execute very fast until this time. More details are in the description of the `sync_fps', `sync_speed', `sync_turbospeed' and `sync_startuptime' options. The video and audio synchronization uses an advanced algorithm, which ensure always the best performance. The program continuously measures the time required to compute a frame and continuously adapt the number of frame to skip and to draw. If it detects that you have system too slow to play the game at full speed, it automatically disables any frame skipping. If the underline Operand System allows that, AdvanceMAME release the CPU when it isn't used after computing each frame reducing the CPU occupation. the text in bold is the interesting part and the feature i would like to see in GameEx. from my point of understanding, you can fastup the game startup process significantly and save it individually for every MAME game. there are a lot MAME games with a long startup time and testing screens. my question is, could we have a plugin that do nearly the same, unfortunately only AdvanceMAME has such a nice feature, i have no clue why this is not implemented in all the MAME derivates. As i have a Arcade-CRT-monitor, i would like to test the advanceMAME thing, but i would need to rollback my MAME-Roms and to use the real cool features, i need to start this in DOS-Mode , but maybe i didnt understand this correctly. Currently i am sticked with CabMAME and i will test the GroovyMAME next (sad, i have only a nvidia-card). I want to achieve "arcade perfect resolutions" and i am in search for the best solution for my case. so any tips here, would help me a lot. thx in advance, u-man
