Also it was obvious that most of the effects on those demos ran far more smoothly than I've seen anything run on Windows, even though modern Windows games run at hundreds of frames per second.
D'oh! Another user who cant set-up WinUAE. Oh the shame :-)
Create a Windows screen mode of 720x576.
Enable 50Hz refresh.
Use PowerStrip if you need to, although Nvidia control panel is a lot better these days.
Fire up WinUAE, select 720x576 50Hz, vsync, full screen.
Voila, smooth scrolling.
I have tried every trick in the book, but never got it as smooth as the real thing.. It just aint possible when hosted ontop of a OS like Windows. Background processes will ALWAYS cause a jerk here and there.
Also another problem is lack of video/audio sync.. Even with a modern computer and audio buffer set as low as possible, it will still be lagging a few ms behind graphics. This is to me very noticable, especially with some games.
And no, there is nothing in the backgrond taking redicilous amounts of cpu cycles.
