Hi need help with my arcade monitor and groovy mame
lodoss118:
when i ran any game in mame its always out of sync?
Calamity:
Are you using a j-pac?
lodoss118:
nope, i have a jav naomi cab
connected monitor straight the video card.
Calamity:
Ok. Don't know exactly what's going wrong.
It's strange that default video modes installed by the driver don't work with your monitor - I see it's a multisync 15/24/31KHz so it should work fine with those modes - I assume the driver is properly installed. So did you test the modes with Arcade_OSD? All of them are out of sync?
You only have to test the ones marked as custom, which are the 15Khz ones. Modes marked as native are the default ones created by the driver which are 31KHz and above, so you shouldn't use that ones unless your possitive your monitor can handle them. No native modes can be deleted. On the other hand custom modes can be recalculated to fit your monitor, by means of the VMMaker app - edit vmaker.ini with your monitor type (you might try the D9800 preset for yours), run vmmaker, restart).
If this fixes the out of sync issue, then use the same monitor type inside mame.ini so GroovyMAME uses the right values for modeline generation. Pleas report your logs by doing this: groovymame toki -v -md 4 >toki.txt, there's vital info there about the possible source or the problem that we need to check.
If you still have your monitor out of sync after restarting, then it might be a sync polarity problem: these modelines have fixed negative sync. That problem might be fixed buy installing CCC and enabling composite sync. Use this CCC version:
