I wouldn't use it if I were you. It can screw up your computer pretty bad if it crashes while you're playing etc...

Oh my, this is something happened to me at my dads place.
First of all, this is probably just a coincidence and I am not telling it has anything to do with this program.
So here's what happened, I was playing Silent Hill 4 and there was a location where the game would crash. So, I updated my nvidia gfx drivers and something odd happened which caused windows to not be able to install the new driver nor any other driver succesfully. Whatever I tried to do it would never work after computer restart even though it earlier said the install was complete. After quite some headache the system drive was formatted and everything ran fine again. It just came to my mind that I first time tested the elmaxp program earlier at the same time. But like I said, it probably doesn't have anything to do with the whole thing.

seems like that program only works in xp, I have win98... but I fixed that lag thing but I cant use direct3d-vsync off, so just have to drive with openGL-vsync off, sux...Dariuz wrote:tried elmaxp.exe? http://www.moposite.com/mopolauta/viewtopic.php?t=2646
ok im no mr wiseguy at this but ehm changing your opengl preferences will not do anything to elma i think, elma runs in direct3d. am i right?John wrote:seems like that program only works in xp, I have win98... but I fixed that lag thing but I cant use direct3d-vsync off, so just have to drive with openGL-vsync off, sux...Dariuz wrote:tried elmaxp.exe? http://www.moposite.com/mopolauta/viewtopic.php?t=2646
it must work at least a bit, cuz I had probs with hiflyerbounce, wheel just dragged and wouldnt bounce, changed g-card, changed opengl vsync off and made bounce in 5 mins and got 33.70. but I tested direct3d 2 days ago for first time and then I noticed the real difference, wasnt lagless tho as u know^

Some time ago someone did a topic about vsync where someone put up a pipe level, and without doing a thing i did much better after turning of vsync in openGL.
No regrets
Are you LOST?

Would be nice to get someone writing an article about it. Cloud but he doesn't bother :(. I have no knowledge.

where in windows display properties? i went settings => advanced then there was something about hardware acceleration, was that it? it wasnt an on/off thing though, just a bar with 4 options
edit: just looked in another forum, they said to find openGL settings or something under the performance tab...i dont have that option...?

ok took me a while to find as well...
on desktop, right click -> properties -> settings -> advanced
then click on tab that says your graphics card, i think that is what it will say. you should have screen like this
then click on 'performance and quality settings' on the left. next you should have a drop down menu with a whole bucnh of games. go to the top thing in that menu, it says 'global driver settings'. click the 'add' button. you should now be at a window that says add profiles. like this:
click browse and open elma.exe. now check it from the list, make a profile name, like elma or elasto or whatever, and click 'ok'. now back at a old screen, check the 'vertical sync' box, uncheck the 'application controlled' box in setting value and drag the bar to whether you want vsync on or off.
i have only done this on my nvidia gforce fx 5200. i dunno whether its same for other video cards, try

For Nvidia: http://www.guru3d.com/rivatuner
Though beware. I downloaded Rivatuner, pushed some buttons and ez the flashes now on screen. Though it doesn't affect my gameplay it surely screwed smth up. I guess that it's nuf for "not that skilled ppl" to just keep to v-sync. Just my advise
Thx for the tip whoever told me! But how do I get rid of these flashes

if you want i can make a complete list what vsync to use in each lev based on my own experiences, of course. Though, there are some hard cases such as lab pro, downhill etc. f.ex. luther got 2:19 sth with vsync on on lab pro and i got 2:18:0x with off, so I dont have a clue which is better then, mostly im an 'off fan' anyway
Zweq please do.
We could try to write some article about the whole issue, vsync.

I was only gonna write list based on my own experiences, no chance I start googling what cards support ittijsjoris wrote:It really needs some explanitory (spelling?)
1. Define what Vsync is.
2. How It improves elma gameplay.
3. Which levels On/Off
4. How to turn off.
5. Which videocards are supported.
I know you canf ind some stuff searching on the internet, but a comprehensive txt should be better.

Display Properties -> Advanced -> GeForce2 MX/MX 400
Select Performance & Quality Settings in the left menu thingie
Vertical Sync is in the bottom of the list in the center menu in the window to the right.

Maybe this http://steinsoft.net/index.php?site=Pro ... OpenGL/no7 can work for people without nVidia or ATi graphics cards.. Haven't tried it myself. Also, it's for Open GL and I guess elma is DirectX :/
I dunno if anyone has thought about this. But I can feel some changes in bike when changing from 1.11hb to 1.2. Anyone else who has noticed this?
I used to swap between different versions before I got rivatuner.
