GroovyMAME 0.227 - Switchres v0.017t
haynor666:
It always worked like this but under XP this switching is fast even using version 178. Under windows 7 x64 it's very slow especially when You are using two outputs. Starting with 5xxx cards there is new method noticably faster but still for a slight moment You will see desktop.
I did solve this problem by using frontend that uses black background for mame execution - MAMEWAH. Of course You can still set black desktop and remove all icons plus hide taskbar.
Jonny G:
Hello all, very glad to see GM being worked on again, would someone be kind enough to write up a quick guide on how to enable hi scores in 0.178 though please? I've pieced together what I can from the thread but some seems to already be outdated and I don't think I've done it correctly.
haynor666:
Download official mame from mamedev.org and extract files
Copy or move folder "plugins" to folder where You have groovymame 178.
Run groovymame
At the bottom the is option "Plugins", enter this one using mouse and switch highscore to "On".
Exit groovymame
Now highscore should work.

Ok, thanks for the information.
But I don't plan to change my frontend, too much work already done on it.
So it means that all games that switch between different resolutions should stop working now on my build.
Do you know other games which switch resolutions ?
haynor666:
Besides computers in MAME (probably almost all should/can switch resolutions) all games in drivers based on psx hardware like zn or namcos12, stv, thief, snk6502 (only during boot) segas32 (during boot but some like Sonic or Slipstream also during game) segac2 (only during boot) qix (only during boot), midyunit (only during boot), almost all games in taitogn.cpp, jaguar, hardriv, during boot also: Escape Kids, Violent Storm, Wild West COW, Crystal Castles.
Please note, those informations might be inaccurate and/or outdated.
EDIT. I've found old list on my computer:
Aero Figters Special
