Stupid Question?

from Frankie (frankie@image.dk)
Hi everyone.

I'm quite new to all this MAME and MARP stuff so this will probably be seen as a stupid question, but I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find a solution to my regulation speed problem.

Let me give you all an example. I've just played 1941 and the speed on AUTO was going from between 75% to 100% without sound, with sound it was even lower. Now I know that I can change that by using the F9 key, but it goes back to normal when the INP file is played back.

So, I tried to change the Frameskip line in my MAME.CFG file from AUTO to 11, which made the game run 100% all the time, both during recording and during playback. However, when I change the line back to AUTO it plays back the inp file with those horrible low speed figures.

My question is. What can I do? Is it enough to tell in the file description that it was played with frameskip 11? I mean, if someone checks that recording and his CFG Frameskip line is set to AUTO, then it won't show the game speed I played with.

Please explain to me how you set the Frameskip so that it plays back exactly like I played it no matter who check the INP file. I'm totally confused about this. Please help.

Sorry, for asking such stupid questions :-)

BTW, I'm using DOS37b5

Before I go another stupid question. How do you guys check the recordings? Do you just press F11 and watch if it goes under 90% or is there some trick how to check the average speed the game was recorded with?

I better leave now. Please help.

Bye.
