Help with LCD Display Problem (1/23/13 - Parallel Monitors Tested)
(1/4) > >>
CWorley:
Hey guys, I started putting some play time into my new cocktail cabinet and ran into some display problems.  While playing games in Mame and while looking in Mala, the screen will sometimes either flicker/distort for a few seconds or flicker/distort longer and go black.

I'm running Mame 0.145 and Mala

Monitor is Dell 20" 2007fp lcd

System specs:
WinXP
Sempron 140 2.7Ghz
4 GB RAM
Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 motherboard w/ ATI Radeon 3000 onboard graphics

Only playing classic 4-ways.

Any suggestions on what the issue might be?  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

What res are you running the screen at?    Is it set to native res?
Blanka:
Use the DVI cable.

I believe the screen is set to 1600 x 1200, which is the native res.  I won't be able to check for sure until this weekend.

I'll give that a shot as well, what difference will that make?
jrose78:
Mala is the front end right? So your problem is not in mame or mala then if it is happening in both.   If it is just happening in mame I would say to try it without HLSL as that can cause problems. I would at the very least try it with just mame and see if it runs without problems.

EDIT: is it possible that the window is losing focus to something poping up in the background from the systray?
