GroovyMAME, latest. You don't need CRT_Emudriver for it to work. Best option for fooling yourself that you're playing a board.

Forget about CV1000. CPS3 is perfect SH3 though.

Good time to get into it. The scanline stuff has had a really good overhaul, as has the video/audio syncing (not that that needed doing, but its more reliable across the board - no workarounds now).

Which Windows? I'll have a bash on 8.1 today if I get a chance. Won't be more than a few settings in the ini file.

Make your ini file:

Code: Select all

mame64 -cc
Change these bits to make it work nicely:

Code: Select all

gamma                     0.7
skip_gameinfo             1
disable_nagscreen_patch   0
disable_loading_patch     0
monitor                   lcd
orientation               rotate
sync_refresh_tolerance    20.0
multithreading            1
video                     d3d9ex
The gamma is personal preference although if you leave it at default you're blind. It needs to be be below 0.9 at most. Sync_refresh_tolerance is set really high so we force vsync on and avoid triplebuffer even if it'll make the game run fast, this gives perfectly smooth scrolling on a LCD.

Do this if you have a whomping GPU. The default HLSL settings are a touch bloomy and blurry, and don't have the shadow mask enabled which is crucial:

Code: Select all

hlsl_enable               1
shadow_mask_alpha         0.3
round_corner              0.1
smooth_border             0.02
vignetting                0.1
defocus                   0.1,0.0
phosphor_life             0.1,0.1,0.1
bloom_scale               0.18

Just remembered I had to install DirectX stuff on here (8.1) to get it working originally.
