can someone explain fast flips to me , how to activate

[slickric]

have cabinet and noticed flippers on some tables lag a bit like metallica, have been trying to research fastflips , is it something you have to change in the script of each table??? if so what do you change, or canyou do it in some other setting , or if you download a table, is it already defaulted to fastflips , thanks

I've had the experience that when fast flips is on I can't get full range of flipper and miss a lot, most of the time I'm trying to turn fast flips off. Only thing I know is some tables allow it to be turned off in the script. But from what you said about lag makes me think it's not fast flip problem, I've had similar lag problems and deleting the nvrm has corrected it.

Fast flips is when you program the flippers to not wait for VPM. But, it is kind of outdated now that we have Frame pacing.

 

Only some machine emulations did support fast flips, WPC, SAM (only a few rom, as it was a hack by DjRobX) is what I remember from the top of my head. If you get lag with flippers with new and updated VP. I expect the reason to be something else than pointing fingers at fast flips. That routine should improve the responsiveness, not delay it.
