Hi RetroACTIVE,
You seem to be using 'magic' resolutions. Switch your video options to -video d3d inside mame.ini.

Now we are getting somewhere!
Games are now showing video! MK is using the wrong resolution as it looks like only the top quadrant of the screen is in view... In other words the image is too big to fit the screen.
I tried Frogger, that seemed to fit fine. Pacman was too large to fit (top and bottom were outside the visible area).
I'll post more debug files later if need be.
I've been around a long time and can I say based upon reading this whole topic and your responses to myself and others here you are likely one of the most helpful and well mannered people I've seen in a long time!
Thanks so much!
Calamity:
Thanks for your kind words.
Well, there seems to be something wrong there. Assuming you started with a fresh created mame.ini (groovymame.exe -cc), make sure you're not storing any atwork inside the corresponding folder, try renaming the folder just in case. Others have experienced issues with artwork when using magic resolutions. You can also active the -artworkcrop option.
Indeed, GroovyMAME's binary should be placed in an empty folder and start from there. Old cfg files could mess with its behaviour.
If this didn't solve your issues we'll need to use the standard methods: dynamic video mode table.

Definitely was a clean install. I started with a completely new computer and hard disk. The only thing I took from my old system were rom files.
I will double check to be sure.
