[Coco] VCC question regarding "Back Buffer in System Ram"

[Bill Pierce]

Steve, as I answered on the issues page, I think that's a directx problem. I had the same issue once but I can't for the life of me remember how I solved it. I really don't see how setting up dw4 had anything to do with it as that has absolutely nothing to do with the video. I'll try to remember what I did to solve it, but you can try downloading and installing the old DX9 runtime and see if that helps

Subject: [Coco] VCC question regarding "Back Buffer in System Ram"

Bill Pierce, before you even start to think about telling me to post thisissue in GitHub, I already did :)So, my issue today, that I hope there is a quick solution to, is a recent"feature" I've encountered where upon launching VCC I get an initial errormessage that says "Creating Back Buffer in System Ram! This will beslower", and to make things worse, in this mode, I can't move the VCC appover to my 2nd monitor which is where I want it to do my recording stuff.This happened when David Ladd showed me how to connect VCC to DriveWire 4(Which is no longer running).So I first tried to manually un-do all the changes that connected me todrive wire, no go.I then deleted and reinstalled the program, same issue.Then I downloaded a clean copy, and installed to a different folder on mycomputer, still the same issue.It's a problem for me that probably wouldn't affect anyone who doesn't wantto use VCC on a different monitor, but for me it's a deal breaker on how mycurrent recording setup goes, and I'm probably going to have to switchemulators if I can't get it fixed.Any and all help is appreciated.Steve Strowbridge, akaThe Original Gamer Stevie Strowhttp://ogsteviestrow.comogsteviestrow@gmail.com-- Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
