Hi. I'm trying to setup an Amstrad Emu in Hyperspin. The problem is I would like run the games at their native res, I think this might not be possible due to the different video modes on the Amstrad? "Three built-in display resolutions are available: 160×200 pixels with 16 colours ("Mode 0", 20 text columns), 320×200 pixels with 4 colours ("Mode 1", 40 text columns), and 640×200 pixels with 2 colours ("Mode 2", 80 text columns)" Anyway...I would prefer not to run it interlaced as it looks crap on a CRT. I.e. use the Full screen option which seems to switch the res to 640x480?? I have tried, WinAPE, arnold and Caprice32... :banghead: Has anyone else got this working on their CRT at a progressive res? Thanks! |

your best bet might be a GroovyUME build (see the GroovyMAME forums) UME is a version of MAME with all the console / computer drivers from MESS enabled, and the 'groovy' versions are tuned for use cases like yours. keep in mind that even then you'll have to configure things to force a 272 high display mode to be output in a progressive mode tho, the full 'border' areas are emulated also keep in mind that the MESS emulation contained in UME isn't as good as the standalones, nor is usability, but it might work for the games you want. The software lists for it still need a lot of cleaning up tho. but yeah, with the files in the right place (like MAME) doing a "ume64 cpc464 -flop1 tubaruba" then typing 'run"disc' gets you some entertainment. or if you want to use the crude auto-boot feature (assuming it works in groovy) --- Code: ---ume64 cpc464 -flop1 tubaruba -ab "run\"disc\n" --- End code --- keep in mind that the CPC is defined as a computer, so to enable the regular MAME keys (framerate display etc.) you'll have to toggle between full and partial keyboard mode with SCRLOCK also adding '-natural' to the commandline might provide a better key mapping as it tries to map symbols to where they are on a PC keyboard instead of where they were on the original. |

Hi Haze! Thanks for you reply, I wondered what the UME version was. I was thinking about running the GroovyMame build as I've had some problems with Win7 and directdraw switching res and apparently this version has a work around. I did get sorted in the end. Also I found the fix to my Amstrad CPC problem too, and emu called CPCE. Works great at 384x288. Thanks for your time appreciate your feedback. |
