Sorry for dragging up a bit of an old thread.
I'm trying to get BGFX running on my MAME setup, but there is a huge amount of slowdown.
I was testing with the Popeye Revision D ROM - it's stutters and slows down to an unplayable level.
I'm running my MAME cab with the following:
Mame64 0.182
Core i3 @ 3.3Ghz
4GB RAM
GeForce 210 Graphics card (Yes, I know it's not great)
I've tried some optimisations also, but no help - here's what I tried
throttle 0
sleep 0
artwork_crop 0
use_backdrops 0
use_overlays 0
use_bezels 0
use_cpanels 0
use_marquees 0
video bgfx
bgfx_screen_chains crt-geom
Any ideas as to what's causing this ?
I know it's not a superfast setup, but I thought I should be able to have some screen effects !
