Slow Mouse Pointer Movement in AmiBench

[FlynnTA]

Thanks for testing.

I did another test with Cecconoid (ADF + Kick 13 ROM), and the game/animations stop if I move the mouse. There is definitely an issue. Maybe just on the A600GS?

Cecconoid runs fine here on my A600GS, doesn´t matter if I move the mouse or not

I’ve just turned my A600gs and noticed how bad and laggy the mouse is.

It’s been off for a few month and I thought it’s time to try it out again.

There also seems to be a dot in the center on amibench  which moves the when the mouse moves.

Its set to 1920x1080 at 60fps - it’s terrible experiance the moment, no vsync and like 10fps updates to screen.

I’m sure it wasn’t like this before.

Mmh, the slow downs only happen on my A600GS in Full-HD (1920x1080x50 or 1920x1080x60). Moving the mouse in 1280x720 caused no slowdowns/freezes.

Do you believe me that I have slowdowns in Full-HD, or do you need a video as proof?

Just to make sure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSviXl3pCAE
This happens with the USB mouse is connected directly or via a KVM switch.

Same here, in 720 I can move the mouse without it freezing/stuttering games

I’ve tried a few things today.
Turning down the resolution to 640 x 480 in AmiBench does speed the FPS up but it’s not perfect.
Also going down to that resolution breaks AmiBenchs splash screen.

I did some more testing with 8 bit colour but AmiBench breaks
It’s display glitches with windows drawn on the grey screen / and icons vanish in this mode.

The white dot in the middle of the screen never goes away.

I assume the emulator running is having some video problems.

@boingball
The white dot is a consequence of a workaround in a recent update, hopefully it's fairly temporary.

I'm not seeing the slow mouse pointer movement in HD myself, though I seem to have my own special issues with certain whdload archives.

I have not used my A600Gs for abought 4 months - so before this it was working fine.

Turned it on, updated it and then the mouse has the issues

i was thinking it was something wrong I had done - but finding this post has put my mind at rest at least

@boingball
OK, I guess I do have the same issue that you're seeing in relation to the screen tearing and ghosting. 

I've owned my A600GS for less time than you've had yours switched off! So I don't have the same historical reference to compare.

I received my unit in April, so that's probably why it's been bad all the time.

@thread

Are any of the users experiencing mouse slow downs using particularly  high performance mice?

[slemmo]

This one: https://rog.asus.com/mice-mouse-pads/mice/ergonomic-right-handed/rog-gladius-iii-wireless-model/

Also tried a cabled mouse, I think it was Razer gaming mouse of some kind, I dont have any typically low performance mice to test.

[FlynnTA]

Yes, indeed. I am getting slowdowns using a Logitech G502 Hero Gaming mouse.

Everything Most is fine with an old Cherry MC 2000 mouse (no gaming, just 2 buttons and a wheel).

Still, even if I use the normal mouse in AmiBench, the mouse pointer stops after moving the mouse quickly. If I move the mouse slowly, the mouse pointer smoothly goes from left to right edge (or the other way round). If I move the mouse quickly, the mouse pointer moves a bit (~1/3rd of the screen) and then simply stops although I move the mouse further in the same direction. Something is still off.

[broadblues]

What happens to the little white dot when you move the mouse quickly enough to trigger the issue? Does it hit the edge of the screen?

[FlynnTA]

Sorry, I really cannot say. The dot is so tiny and jumps so quickly that I cannot see it after starting to move the mouse.

[slemmo]

It just kind of stays in the middle of the screen and blinks for me.
