Games with ISSUES: report here!

Yes, the problem is Psychic5 run at 54 Hz and your TV isn't adjusted for that. Most TVs can sync all the range from 50 to 60 Hz out of the box. Arcade monitors also can, but usually you need to adjust the v-freq pot so the sync "window" includes the whole range we want. This is what I think your TV needs, but I have no clue if the required pot (or service menu adjustment) actually exists on it.

I am not able to load any of the Playchoice 10 games like Dr. Mario in Groovymame 0.228.

[Prog]

I've been having this issue with Tapper (tapper.zip) in which the screen randomly freezes up for a few seconds.

I'm using GroovyArcade (Arch) with an Ultimarc ArcadeVGA 5000 (Radeon HD 5450) on an RGB-modded Sony Trinitron TV. I need to get more info on the drivers, I'm away from the setup right now. What I do know is that I've yet to see it outside tapper, and I've been trying to replicate with GroovyMAME on my W10 laptop (to no avail, thus far). I never recall seeing anything like this with mame, but groovymame in the GroovyArcade repo lists mame as a conflicting package so I didn't want to risk messing up my install. I've attached the log but I didn't notice anything spat out when the error occurred (IE, anything after groovymame loaded but before I exited). I also monitored some gameplay on a nearby VNC display and it also froze on that, so if that narrows things down, then great. I've attached a video of the phenomenon (caution; drunken language).

I was also getting scrambled sprites on Battletoads, but more on that later.

EDIT: I just had it happen on Rampage as well; I need to do more testing of non MCR-III games. It persisted a couple seconds after I paused emulation. I’d be happy to compile and/or install mainline MAME in this machine if I know it won’t mess anything up. The version info of Radeon is as follows:
compiled for 1.20.8, module version = 19.1.0
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 24.1

I found some interesting stuff in the xorg log, I need to get onto a proper pc to post it

[Prog]

Okay, I've attached a copy of the file from vim. I believe it was originally /var/log/xorg.log.0, I was reading it mid-game of Rampage, very shortly after it froze and I paused it. This is the interesting part:

Although maybe that was just the result of me pausing the game and switching terminals or something. But it looks like I did that around timecode 3046. Gonna have to try to monitor the log every few seconds via ssh while playing... I'll let you know if I find something.

[Prog]

Alright so those messages about flipping pages and memory allocation are definitely correlated to the freezing that I’m seeing. They start when I get a freeze and generate indefinitely until I terminate MAME altogether (even once normal gameplay resumes, a couple seconds after the freeze).
I actually think I remember experiencing a freeze on bublbobl, but I can’t say with confidence atm. Perhaps it’s more likely to happen on games for which MAME allocates a 480p framebuffer, like the MCR games. Just speculation.
I’d be happy to help in any way I can. Like, if installing Windows and getting comparative data on the same hardware would somehow be helpful, lmk. I’d definitely contribute to the rendering codebase if I knew a thing about any of that at all.

Having issues with Choplifter on groovymame included in substring's 2020.06 collab release of groovyarcade.

I have no frame delay, pressing F11 shows me that the game is running at 100% all the time.

When the hostages are picked up and say "thank you" the game momentarily grinds to a halt (although F11 still says 100%).  It also seems a bit stuttery in general but when the hostages speak it's by far the worst.  All other games I'm running seem fine it's just this one.

Hardware I am running:  a Ryzen 3600 CPU with 16GB ram, an HD5450 card, and a Hantarex Polo/3 15Khz monitor.

Any ideas?  Thanks.

Audio Issue R-type(Audio file attached)

Having an issue with R-type,  TBH not specific to groovymame but visible in that too and various versions of mame and hardware. I have tried other peoples builds e.g coinops and still an issue.

So I have this  issue  on my dell optiplex 9020Sff  i5 and my HP laptop i5  and another laptop.  Common element is they are all Windows 10 and use Realtek Audio. But I have kind of ruled that out by using audio on my dedicated GPU which is AMD via digital out to a TV, and still experience same issue.


For easiness I have a good 226 set of roms so replicated this in groovymame 226

The sound is just not right. The audio issue can be heard especially when no background music and you are inserting coins, its like a static noise (Listen to attached audio file) . The visible crackle/distortion is really irratating !

I have the same issue with a TV, Laptop Screen and a LCD in my arcade cabinet. I am going to try and attach an audio clip. I would be suprised if someone else had not had same issue, and hopefully can point me in right direction.

Someome mentioned R-type runs at an unusual vertical refresh rate 55.

I have tried installing all the visual C libaries and direct x all gain but has made no difference.

Any help would be appreciated as tried turing of hardware stretching, messing with sound in mame ini etc and just cannot work out why it sounds so weird !

Thanks
Venom.

Hi,

I try with 3 PC configurations with last GROOVYMAME (with 4590s /4790 /4790k & several ATI board 5xxx & 6xxx)

Gaplus/Galaga 3 works fine with one monitor

but with 2 monitors (CRT & LCD),There are regular little lags on main CRT monitor (but not on second LCD monitor it seems)
(you can easy see it when you move your ship)
speed is about 98,88 % but CPU usage is low....

other games seem work fine

have you similar problem?

Hi, when play twin cobra in groovymame 0.161 it appears two black band in upper and botton of tv, is there any way to fix using twincobr.ini? Thanks a lot.

That's probably your TV selecting PAL mode because of this game's particular refresh.

There are a few things you could do... I'd install mode 736x552 with VMMaker, then set monitor arcade_15ex in twincobr.ini.

Hi, I´ve changed my old Pentium 4 and ATI Radeon X1300, now I´m using ASUS Radeon HD5450.

I don´t know how to install a new mode (736x552) in VMMaker, could you tell how I can do it? Thanks.
Here´s the new log of the game.

EDIT: FOLLOW THIS http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,153488.msg1608259.html#msg1608259
But once installed 736x552 and get arcade_15ex in twincobr.ini only get a blue screen, supossed out or range.

Another question...For example with game kungfum In Groovymame 161 and ATI X1300 I made a txt with "resolution    256x256" and put in ini folder and Groovymame recognize and get fullscreen but now nothing happens, can´t get the game (kungfum) in that resolution, how can I fix it?

EDIT: SOLVED! I´ve changed GM 161 for GM 249 if I copy folder hi from 161 to 249 none record appears in the games, I supossed it´s normal because are diferent versions of GM.


Thanks a lot!!

Hi, looking at your log, it seems 736x552 is still not available.

Hi, looking at your log, it seems 736x552 is still not available.

Hi makya, you´re right, I learned how to add new modelines after creating the log.

Here´s the log created with parameters in twincobr.ini 736x552 and arcade_15ex (log>twincobr736ex)

In vertical games (folder artwork) I used to put a bezel create by my own but in Groovymame_249  it doesn´t work because the screen is very small, I don´t konw if I can changed something in the bezel or in mame.ini because are diferences between groovymame161 and 249.

I upload a log with bezel (log>twincobezel) and a snap running the game with bezel, and also upload the bezel.

Thanks a lot!

Hi, with bezel, gm looks for 488x492:

Switchres: Calculating best video mode for 488x492@54.877857 orientation: rotated

It does not exist on your system so gm chooses 856x512:

Switchres: updated AMD ADL timing "856x512_57i 15.667628KHz 54.877857Hz" 17.422402 856 891 973 1112 512 523 529 571 interlace  -hsync -vsync

Maybe you could try forcing 2560x496 and see what happens? Put in twincobr.ini:

resolution 2560x496

Hi makya, I added modeline 488x492@60.000000 but with same result.
And also the same with 2560x496.

Thanks for your interesting!

beaches, you should post your logs and mame.ini as well. Are you running v0.249 or 0.161? Is your TV european model? Which model?

I upload log this night. I'm using gm 249, my TV it's European and in vmmaker I selected generic_15. Thanks for your attention makya.

Hi, did you try setting Zoom to Screen Area ON? It solves the "issue" for me.

Hi makya I'm a bit messy with my job, sorry.

I don't know how to do this, I never heard about zoom on. Can you explain it to me? Thanks a lot.

Launch the game, press tab, go to video, then screen#0 (or #1 if mame is on your second display): it's here.

Thanks a lot makya, I didn't know this option, I'll try it and tell you how about it.

Hi mayka!  I've tried this method and IT'S WORKS! thanks a lot, now I can play games with bezel and GM in full screen

[haynor666]

I have speed regulation issues with two games - Brave Blade and Thunder Zone. Both games are quite slow but operates above 100% on stock mame and G3258 overclocked to 4.0 GHz. Sadly this is not enough for groovymame for perfect synchronization. Does anybody tested those games and have alternative options speed up a little those games without sacrifice it's smooth play (tearing, sound hiccups etc.)

Judge Dredd light gun game goes black when the screen is supposed to flash and massively drops in speed every time.
