Hmm, it doesn't work like that... there shouldn't be "modelines that don't work" if your settings are right. Could you paste some examples of modelines that don't work? That will help us figure out your monitor specs.
Anyway you can't delete modelines with this version of VMMaker. That wasn't in the design as the task of calculating a proper mode list ready for GroovyMAME was something the user didn't need to mess with.
However I'm going to add a "delete modeline" option in next release as it's requested all the time. By now, you can use Winmodelines to manually delete those modelines.
In mame, use "monitor d9800" under the # CORE SWITCHRES OPTIONS.

Hi calm, I have attached some tests i did in the ModelineTest log. Basically anything 16khz, 25khz, and 32khz works.

Thanks for the logs! Curious monitor... it won't accept 15Khz but 16khz??
Try recalculating the modelines with VMMaker adding these lines to vmmaker.ini
monitor_specs_0 = "16200-18000, 49.50-65.00, 2.000, 4.700, 8.000, 0.064, 0.160, 1.056, 0, 0, 288, 448"
monitor_specs_1 = "25000-25800, 49.50-65.00, 2.910, 3.000, 4.440, 0.451, 0.164, 1.048, 0, 0, 480, 768"
monitor_specs_2 = "31000-32200, 49.50-65.00, 0.636, 3.813, 1.906, 0.318, 0.064, 1.048, 0, 0, 576, 768"
... and set MonitorType = "CUSTOM"
Restart...
Then in mame.ini, add the same lines with this format
monitor_specs_0 16200-18000, 49.50-65.00, 2.000, 4.700, 8.000, 0.064, 0.160, 1.056, 0, 0, 288, 448
monitor_specs_1 25000-25800, 49.50-65.00, 2.910, 3.000, 4.440, 0.451, 0.164, 1.048, 0, 0, 480, 768
monitor_specs_2 31000-32200, 49.50-65.00, 0.636, 3.813, 1.906, 0.318, 0.064, 1.048, 0, 0, 576, 768
and set "monitor cga"
(make sure to replace the default "modeline_specs auto" lines otherwise it won't work).
That should produce modelines that are between the ranges your monitor seem's to like.

Hi Calm, did what u said.
The resolutions seem to work now, but another problem i have that the games never stretch to the full screen? There are always borders when i run the games?
