MAMEHub 0.5a [r30] - lag reduced

[Krusty]

Change description:

Reduced lag (i.e. new "ping code").


Approximate revision(s) of change:

r30-r31


Reason(s) for change:

Increase network performance.


Background:

Digitalghost explaining the change to the MAMEHub chat lobby on April 26th, 2011:

[14:57:59] <Digitalghost> lag is reduced
[14:58:05] <Digitalghost> fix for games with chd files
[...]
[15:07:59] <Digitalghost> Yeah, basically, I used to take the highest ping time over the past second, let's call it P
[15:08:09] <Digitalghost> and delay the inputs by 100 + P/2
[15:08:49] <Digitalghost> so, it will take about P/2 time for the inputs to go across the internet, but I add 100 because it's better to have extra input delay than to have stuttering because packets are late
[15:09:13] <Digitalghost> but it looks like the new ping code I wrote a few weeks ago is much much better than the old ping code, so I trust "P" more than I used to
[15:09:19] <Digitalghost> so I'm changing the equation to 20 + P/2
