GroovyUME setup
« on: June 11, 2013, 03:02:53 pm »
Hi, I wanna thank all the people involve with groovyume and groovymame. It's made my arcade monitor much better to look at. However, after I upgraded to version 0.148u5 some games come out scramble like 500 mame games. I did not have this problem with 1.46. I tried it with ati 4650 and 4870 and still the same problem. But if I use groovymame 1.46 I have no problems. Here is the steps I use for groovyUme setup.
1.downloaded MAME and MESS 0.148 Source Code and unpack
2.Place groovyume in the same folder as MAME and MESS 0.148 Source Code rename it as ume.
3.Created ini file ume.exe -cc
4.change the monitor to arcade_15_25_31
5. Unpack crt_emudriver_9.3_1.2a_x64_multisync.rar and vmmaker_1.3c_arcade_osd_1.3b.rar
6.change the rom path in ume ini like this:c:\roms\mame;c:\roms\mess
7.Place all my mame roms in the mame folder from MAME and MESS 0.148 Source Code name scr and also put mess bios files in mess folder.
8.Created subfolder withing mess folder for each system example C:groovyume/roms/mess/nes place all my nes roms there.
9.Told vmmaker my rompath and and ini path.
10.Change in vmmaker ini for magic resolution from value 1 to  2.
11.Install the crt_emudriver_9.3_1.2a_x64_multisync.rar driver and rebooted the pc.
12.ran vmmaker and produce 862 resolution to 42.
13.Ran HyperQ and told it the exe path and rom path.
14.for instance : exe path:C:/groovyume/ume.exe and  rompath:C:groovyume/roms/mess/nes--Nintendo system
15. For mame: exe path: C:/groovyume/ume.exe and rompath:C:groovyeume/roms/mame
16. I also setup the windows resolution to 640x480@30 interlace.

everything ran good and I see switch res changing resolution for each game. However, there are games that come out scramble.
After playing around with the ume.ini I found a solution but don't know if is good.

before running vmmaker in the monitior type I did arcade_15_25_31 rebooted pc and then try hyperspin saw the scrambling problem then change the monitor to vga without running vmmaker again.
Now all the games work and dont have scrambling problems. I also see that switch res is changing resolution for each game to native res without problems.
 :dunno

I almost forgot here are the ahk scripts for hyperspin modules that makes groovyume work with hyperspin and each mess system. I got it from this link http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?24809-One-Emulator-to-Rule-Them-All-GroovyUME-by-Calamity-DrMaxwell-s-AHK-Script

all these ahk scripts work I tested them myself.

Hi rock145,

Please post a couple of logs of games that come out scramble, this will point in the right direction, hopefully. Forcing the monitor option to 'vga' is just a bad workaround as you're going to be missing both 15 and 25 khz ranges.
Important note: posts reporting GM issues without a log will be IGNORED.
Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.

hi calamity is this the command to check the game logs: groovymame romname -v >romname.txt ?

It took me a while for the game logs. I had a problem where I could not save the files to my usb drive. I did the process 3 times with no luck. Then I disable deepfreeze and tried it again. It only work after I plug in my exteral hdd. I think I figure out the problem why the games where coming scramble I think that deefreeze was interfering with something. After I disable it know all the games that were scramble are not anymore. Here are the logs.
