Throttle

Bitmap Prescaling

Wait For Vertical Sync

Refresh Speed

Enable HLSL

Switch Resolutions to fit

Synchronize audio with Emulation Speed (At your own risk)

Enable Stedykey support

Multi - threaded Rendering

Coin Lockout

I could not find a guide anywhere to tell me what all this is.

Throttle: Switching this on stops your CPU from blowing itself to hell by trying to run games at 1000% speed. Switch it off before running Pac-Man to see the yellow guy hit Mach 3 Very Happy

Refresh Speed: Either runs games fixed at your monitors native refresh speed (usually 60Hz), or tries to match the games original arcade speed.

Wait for vertical synch: This helps to stop screen-tearing ... i think its to do with frame refresh timing or something?

Switch resolutions to fit: Only usually good for turning your on-screen images into a blocky mess of pixels ... the kind that make an Atari 2600 look good.

Check the help file shipped with the emulator. Most, if not all, of those settings are described in there.

this is for FX specific options.... Though it should be updated with the new D3D CLEAN STRETCH option which will be available and working in the next version.
