Ok im useing the beta 0.99 beta 5 demo. Was thinkg about buying it but... im haveing a problem Sad

Now when i run this in full screen i get this flickering like every 5 to 10 seconds. Now i did a search for this in your forums and found a topic about this. Though they said to put the screen refresh rate to 60hz. Well mines already in 60hz besides im also using a tv out, and it does this on both screens at the same time. It's hard to explane what it looks like. Kinda like as if the rom or cd were messed up. But there not. The cd's i have worked fine when i had my real duo. Beside another emulator does this same thing. Gens. Now these are the only emulators that do this. I tryed and turned off vsync and still it does this.
Please help me Smile

Thanks

Im also downloading new video drivers as well but don't think this will fix it. My drivers are not that old.

Edit: Drivers are now installed still have problem.

The blurriness is caused by your NVidia card. Either yank it out or setting the zoom to software only, display size at 2X2 at start, fullscreen on, and fullscreen stretch mode to on and always. . Now hit F12 and see if it works the way it does with mine. Which is very good, btw.

This is the way I have my INI file set up like:

fullscreen=y
fullscreen_mode=0
filtering=y

Good luck.

Well thanks for the help specineff but it still does it even after i set everything like you said:( Another thing it only flikers for like a tenth of a second if that helps anyone figure this out.

again thanks though Smile

Well, the problem is not joust yours ... I've had this for ever and ever ...

see my post: http://www.magicengine.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=508

I think that I've pretty much described what you're experiencing. And I too found out that turning bi-linear on solves the problem, but I don't like burred-up games ... not at all.

I still hope that 1.0 fixes this ...
