Hi guys.
Quick backstory. Had a power outage and my old mame machine died.
Got a new one put together and tried using one of the ArcadeVGA 3000 cards but wasn't quite happy.
Decided to go get a old radeon and use the calamity drivers and arcade monitor (which is either a D9200 or D9800)
Everything seemed to go well, but I have one of two problems... (which only seem to come into play with CPS2-esque res games.
With one set monitor spec settings I load up final fight and I see this...
with another I get the whole screen and everything looks PERFECT.... until I start playing and walk from left to right.
The moment the screen starts scrolling I am noticing that the sides are fatter than the middle of the screen and things stretch as I move, it makes everything look very funky! (and not in a good way)
What can I do to fix this? this is with using '-nohwstretch' as if I don't use that, it all fits on the screen perfect but looks horrible.
tldr: when I scroll, the sides of the screen stretch out and make the sprites bigger.
This wasn't a problem with my old pc hooked up to the same monitor with the original AGP arcadevga. So I would like to think I could get this working. At the moment I'm stuck with a perfect picture with no sides, or full screen with stretchy sides.
The problem isn't so much what's in the picture, but I figured I'd explain both my issues. The one in the picture can be fixed by using different monitor spec lines as provided on this site, but how do I fix the stretchy-sides as it scrolls? if I could fix this, my machine would be complete!
