Many of you know I have built a lot of cabs, but only recently have I started using a real arcade monitor with a ArcadeVGA card. After speaking with several people and reading some posts, I wanted to run my experiences past you guys and see if those of you using a arcade monitor have the same experiences I have. My hardware: Well Gardner K7000 25" and a ArcadeVGA PCI-e card My software: I'm running an older version of mame, but it's not ancient. I belive it's in the 96 or 105 neighborhood. It's the version right before they quit using HI files to record the high score. My issues are mostly settled around resolution. * Some games will not display properly at all, unless I manually adjust the vertical/horizontal resolutions * many of the games work, but the screen is squished or more times than not don't fill the screen * Some games won't display at all My question: is this how it is with a real arcade monitor and AVGA card? If so, I may switch to a tri-sync like I use on my vertical cabinet. I've used a TV in the past, and it used to trim some games, but it had much more compatibility than this arcade monitor does. If there are settings I need to change, I'd sure love to hear them. |

Have you run the AVRES utility which has a link on the ArcadeVGA install page on our site? This should correct these issues. Andy |

Andy --- End quote --- No I have not. Cool! I'll try it when I get home. Just looked for it. I couldn't find a program called AVres. I found Quickres, and switchres. I'm currently using Quickres. |
