Hi guys!,
Regarding the two games I found runnig too quickly....I made ini's for the mace.zip & wg3dh.zip roms. Unfortunately, this did not help as they ran at the same speed.
I got the res info from KLOV...but when I check game info with in MAME, I get different res's listed on both games...??
Since I'm so new to linux I haven't quite figured out how to remote in, but I'm working on it. I also haven't ran groovymame fom the terminal yet...hopefully I can get to it in the next day.
FYI... I am still running v.1.515 64bit.
Keep up the great work!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

Those games run at 640x480@57, are you getting 105% instead of 100%? That would mean a default video mode is getting in the middle. Anyway, try to set the ini for 641x480@57 or even better 640x488@57, and see if it makes any difference.

Neither the 641x480x32@57.00 or the 640x488x32@57.00 helped. I forgot to mention that when I made the ini's for the 640x480x32@57.00 that the picture got squashed. The pic was rectangular...widescreen`ish. When there is no ini file, it"s fullscreen again...just playing too fast.
I wish I could figure out the ssh task. I got stuck when PUTTY wanted a username and password. user-admin and password- arcade didin't work. If I was doing this in windows this would be much easier, but since this is my first go at linux...I'm having point & click withdrawls. :)
Has anyone else had the same problem with the games I'm mentioning?

Password for ssh is 'arcade' and username is 'arcade', not admin :) that's just for the webmin interface where it's admin.
If you can get the output of `xrandr -display :0.0 -q` at the console it might be interesting to see. Also one question is what output of your video card are you using? Is it VGA-0 or DVI-0, what do you have set in the mame.ini for the monitor_connector setting? That is one thing that isn't automatically setup in the version of the ISO you have, I just made that setup automatic in the newest groovymame now. I'm wondering if it possibly has something to do with that. The xrandr -q output will show what interfaces are connected, and what modelines are configured for them.
You can actually login remotely as 'root' and password 'admin', if you want to have full administrator access, but probably not necessary for checking the couple things, just to know in case you run into any permissions problems.

OK...I was able to remote in via ssh....yippee!! :)
I am attaching the xrandr output and the groovymame out files in txt format. Both of these were captured via ssh.
I'm also attaching my mame.ini in txt format.
My ASUS 4350 is attached to the monitor via VGA-0
Hopefully this helps...
