I'm having some issues with games like dkong and pacman running at like 88%. Looking at the output it's not picking the right resolution. I included my mame.ini and dkong output.
I'm just starting out, so I haven't played with anything yet. Wanted to check in before I did.
Thanks!

Hi Banacek,
It's picking the right resolution indeed, 400x256, it's only that this resolution has a refresh rate of 52 Hz, that's where the slowdown comes from. Try enabling -triplebuffering for that game, that will keep it at 100% speed regardless the refresh.
There's another resolution marked as 352x256@60, have you tried forcing that resolution?

I'll try that today. Thanks!
Banacek:
Yup, that did the trick! Thanks! All the games I've tried so far look great. What are some games I should try that usually give problems?

monitor_specs0 15625-15900, 40-59.97, 7.800, 4.700, 10.600, 0.190, 0.191, 1.018, 0, 0, 248, 448
monitor_specs1 15625-15900, 60.00-80, 3.000, 4.700, 7.700, 0.190, 0.191, 1.018, 0, 0, 248, 448
monitor_specs2 16000-17200, 58-80, 2.187, 4.688, 6.719, 0.190, 0.191, 1.018, 0, 0, 256, 448
monitor_specs3 18300-18800, 40-58, 8.300, 2.750, 9.000, 0.190, 0.191, 1.018, 0, 0, 280, 448
monitor_specs4 18800-19000, 40-80, 2.187, 4.688, 6.719, 0.140, 0.191, 0.950, 0, 0, 320, 448
monitor_specs5 24000-29000, 40-80, 2.020, 2.820, 6.460, 0.890, 0.148, 1.373, 0, 0, 384, 576
monitor_specs6 30000-34000, 40-80, 0.636, 3.813, 1.906, 0.020, 0.106, 0.607, 0, 0, 496, 768
monitor_specs7 34001-38000, 40-80, 1.000, 3.200, 2.200, 0.020, 0.106, 0.607, 0, 0, 600, 768
Now the 15 Khz range is divided in two ranges depending on vfreq, the limit is 59.97 Hz, let's see how it works.
Try toki, snowbros, bublblobl (< 60 Hz)
Then try goldnaxe (60 Hz)

I found this thread after doing some searching for modelines for my monitor. I just recently switched from a AVGA card to a HD4350 after the AVGA started to have artifacts on the screen. I swtched from win 7 to win xp. After putting these modelines into vmmaker, monitor_specs7 gave me an error but still produced 120 modes. Calamity do you see any reason for monitor_specs7 to give an error?
Calamity:
Hi timply,
You're probably using a dated VMMaker version, that was limited to 7 presets. Grab the version 1.3c here: http://mame.3feetunder.com/windows-ati-crt-emudriver/

I have the latest version. Its just saying "vmmaker.ini error in line 81: MONITOR_SPECS7" I included my vmmaker.ini
All but a couple of games i've played so far worked pretty well. The 2 being Pac-man and DoDonPachi. They are squished vertically and if I make them bigger using v-size then games like donkey kong are to big.
I made logs for both games.
If you don't mind looking over these things, it would be much appreciated.
WinXP 32bit
