MAME Optimizing

What do I need to tweak to get the current version on mame to run blur-free and without that line that runs down the screen when you say, jump in Samurai Shodown?

Me neither.

 

although this might be a graphics card settings issue. What card do you have?

 

nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 128MB

I smell the Evil nVIDIA Hardware Blur™. There should be an option to turn it off from your card's prferences. If that doesn't help, try turning off DirectDraw Acceleration from DXDiag preferences.

Hmm, I don't think I see it on the card preferences(or I'm not looking hard enough).

 

I'll try cutting off the DirectDraw Acceleration.

Ahh, disabling DirectDraw Acceleration worked. :P

I guess it's not a problem for everybody.

Try switching your monitor refresh rate to 60 hz. This should help.
