Problem with Psychic5 17Millions inp

[RAX]

Hi, I'm experiencing problems viewing that great Psychic5 replay from Bugfinder, here: http://marp.retrogames.com/index.cgi?mo ... sort=score
It's a 17.7 Millions inp, recorded with Mame0.36beta14 on DOS
I can see it on a Win98 machine, but only at 3fps. The strange thing is that pressing F10 it goes far over 100% speed, this means for me that the PC is powerful enough, but the emulator does not recognize it and it runs slow.
I tried running it on winXP with Dosbox installed, again it goes 3fps (pressing F11 I see the stats "auto11 63% 3/53 fps")

thanks in advance

Try under real DOS
Maybe problem is that rom was changed in 53.

Try it with the equivalent version of MAME32. Although, Win98 should run DOS MAME fine. I guess you may have some sort of audio conflict going on.

@Des: I didn't mention it because the effect was the same, but I already tested it in a real MS-DOS machine (different from the win98 one), with a real Soundblaster and so on, slow just as on other cases. (even more because my DOS-PC is not very powerful, at least not like the win98 one)

But the emulator starts with the rom I have, Could it happen that a wrong rom make emulation starts anyway? I will find an older romset just to be sure, but sounds strange

@Mahelmiut: Unfortunately there is no 36beta14 version of Mame32, it jumps from 36beta10 to 36beta15, and both desync.
I think I'll make experiments with different CWSDPMI versions, now I'm using v.5, but I've no other ideas.

I tried nosound=desync in any case
I would have thought it could be a video problem, I don't know, Vesa mode or other possibilities. Which parameters would you suggest me to shake?

If you've got it working in win98 that's a good thing even if it gets fps=3. If F10 makes it go too fast then there must be some problem with ini files that is hurting the emulation. (1) try a clean mame install no other ini files. (2) I was able to get it to do fps=3 by setting the frameskip to 11 with the F8/F9 keys. but I can get it to go back to fps=53 by making the frameskip=0 with F8/F9, although it still skips around below 53 for somereason. Auto frameskip gives me 53 average, though which isn't what you seem to get. I wasn't able to get it to playback with out desynching at all in windows xp, don't have dosbox but probaly should or at least a win98 virtual machine (i should have.) If making sure autofs is off and fs=0, you can try this 36b11 version (the only win version with in the b11-b14 range i know.)

[mahlemiut]

CWSDPMI is only used in DOS mode. Windows provides its own DPMI service. DOS audio drivers should not be needed, either, unless needed for SB emulation or something.

thanks guys, I've made experiments with XP/Dosbox, and it seemed that using the -tweak options and -vsync it gains a little speed. This night I'll try similar changes on the w98 machine, anyway the speed is becoming to be accettable.
I always make a new folder with a fresh installation of the MAME+Rom+Inp to see a replay, as Chad stats it's the best thing. Unfortunately that w36b11 version you posted desyncs in the beginning just as the w36b10 and the w36b15 do, but the speed is indeed perfect
