I think ME and MEFX both run with Vsync call "ON" and Triple-Buffering "OFF" by default ....this is hardly problem for ME, however with MEFX, performance hit is quite drastic for Low-end computer (1.5g)...
is there any hidden option to enable Triple-Buffering when vsynced ?

No sorry, no triple buffer option yet.

I already looked to implement that though, this is easy to do so we might have that soon.

Triple-Buffering option yet or maybe next beta ?
i tested it but seems there's no option for this...

[dmichel]

Ooops I completely forgot about that, sorry. I will see what I can do.

this is not just performance issue any more, when used with Low Custom resolutions, V-Sync doesn't work any more....I heard this is custom resolution limitation ,as 256x240 / 320x240 is really 512x480 / 640x480 pixel doubled, as result, you get tearing in the middle of the screen, while 'flip' or double-buffering works for all custom resolution
this one I tested with other emulators that feature both V-sync/Double buffering...

thanks always

I have added triple buffering to the test version too, add this in the .ini to enable it :

tripple_buffer=y

This works only with DirectX for now.

(yes there's a typo in the option name, it was too late when I noticed it, but type it like that ^^; )
