So mame is not accurate with interlaced systems?

Never had the chance to compare on the same arcade cabinet the real jamma interlaced game vs emulation and I've always been curious about the result because I don't remember Rampage or Popeye to look so bad in the arcades. Maybe it was a smaller screen as well...

In the other hand, I compared several progressive scan games (jamma vs emulation) and apart for the need to adjust the brightness and maybe the screen size/position it was exactly the same.

are you saying that for a game with 60 fields per second, MAME outputs 30 progressive frames in a second? what exactly does mame do to composite the image that results in data loss?

So mame is not accurate with interlaced systems?

It is non-existent. MAME can not do interlace. We all can thank Calamity that we have a option for interlace in GroovyMAME, but like i said, that option comes AFTER the output from MAME itself.

are you saying that for a game with 60 fields per second, MAME outputs 30 progressive frames in a second? what exactly does mame do to composite the image that results in data loss?


You partially answered your own question. I dont know how much frames MAME outputs to compensate interlace, it could be 60 progressive frames or it could be 30 progressive frames. The main point is, that if the original game has interlaced output, then the fields are blended for progressive output.

EDIT: That is how MAME handles interlace and this process is destructive, till today there is no solution or blending method, that can make this process non-destructive/revertable. Once a blending/conversion is applied, there is no undo or reverting process. What is more worse is, you lose the resolution and half of the frames. This is the reason why no blending/conversion looks as good as the original interlaced frames, provided you watch this on a CRT.
One of the biggest problems for the MAME devs is, that no one use a CRT as a display, ergo they have nothing to proof with. Interlaced material can only be properly displayed on a CRT, which makes it impossible to show MAME devs a evidence, what kind of data is really lost. This may explain, why they did not care about interlace that much. What MAME needs, is a switch where a user can define what kind of output is wanted (something similar to GroovyMAME´s monitor switch). Currently all interlaced stuff in MAME, is postprocessed with blending.

So i am not a game-expert nor do i know all interlaced games, but if a game has interlaced output and it is in use other than some resolution switching for in game menues etc., then there will be data/motion lost, if outputted through MAME (even if MAME has 60 blended, progressive frames). One example i posted years ago, is Atari 2600. Play H.E.R.O and press pause in a scene with lot of motion and you will see a blended progressive frame, that originally is not there.

If someone here knows good examples for interlaced games, please tell us more :) . Games that really use the advantage of interlacing. A bad example would be a game that internally creates progressive frames and the output is interlaced, which is possible but without any benefits you usually would have. One great example is the Laserdisc game Firefox. It uses even interlaced real life footage as a background for the game.

There is more to write on that topic, but basically it is this. If there is interest, i can write more for it.

GroovyMAME 0.217 is out!

Release notes:

Finally, GroovyMAME has its own repository in GitHub. Thanks specially to Substring and Keilmillerjr for helping me in the process.

People wanting to roll their own builds will now have more options:

1.- Simply download the source package from the releases page and compile it*
2.- Clone GroovyMAME's repository locally, and make sure to checkout the correct branch. There will be a branch for each GroovyMAME's release, named e.g. groovymame0217.
3.- Download GroovyMAME's patch and apply it manually over MAMEdev's source package, this way:

Code: [Select]
c:\mame_source>patch -p1 <0217_groovymame_017p.diff
c:\mame_source>make

*Keep in mind GitHub's source already contains D3D9ex applied. If you're building for Windows XP, you must not apply the D3D9ex patch, so method 3 is your best option.

You were faster than I. Check the new compiling notes, specifically the "-p1" param, instead of "-p0". The new diffs are created from git itself and this change is required.

Has anyone built a 32 bit version of .217 GroovyMame (can it still be done, I assume so since I have straight up mame 32 bit .217)?  If not, I can do it, but I thought I'd check first.   :)

Updating my cabinet which still runs XP (for many reasons, and it is air-gapped) and hasn't been updated in a couple years.  Thanks for the continued development on this, it's really appreciated!

How do I disable bilinear filtering in groovymame? It saves in video settings, but for each game it is enabled by default. I turn it off and it works fine until I restart groovymame where it is enabled. Anyway to have it off permanently for each game even upon restarting?

GroovyMAME 0.222 is out!

What's new in Switchres v0.017q (June 2020)

- Improved black frame insertion, as per Blur Busters request. Option -black_frame_insertion (-bfi) now takes an integer that means the number of black frames to insert after the visible frame:
  - For 120 Hz, use -bfi 1
  - For 180 Hz, use -bfi 2
  - etc.

Oh, that is really nice news.

Calamity you should talk to MAME devs again. It seems that all graphic modes (d3d, bgfx, etc.) will get a major overhaul. Previously a game is rendered and then post processed, depending on what mode was used. In the future, they will render directly with graphic card. What that means for GroovyMame should better be discussed with you and the devs. For example Direct X 9.0 support will definetely be trashed. You should really talk to them, as long as everything is in a early stage.

Be well, good luck, u-man

Well, if that happens before Groovy gets a vsync_offset slider - the ONE thing it needs to become a full-fledged mainstream build that anyone even inexperienced beginners can enjoy - then f* it and nuke this planet.  :timebomb:

Quick question: When artwork is displayed the games don't use the full screen anymore (I did notice artwork_crop 1 but the artwork is so beautiful tho). To me this looks like some kind of integer scaling or something. Can this be fixed or is it a limitation of GroovyMAME?

Edit: Also if you're not aware: GroovyMAME crashes when loading up a screenless system. Both of these issues are probably related to SwitchRes even though I've turned it off (doesn't work on my TV anyway although vanilla MAME does).

Probably don't qualify as a beginner... I've never bothered with vsync_offset as it's such a pain to set.

CPU overclock slider needs changing to actual CPU clock too!

The problem with a vsync_offset slider has already been explained: MAME's UI rendering is so slow that it actually affects the offset required when the slider is shown. Anyway this will be added at some point.

FYI, we're rewriting the whole Switchres module in GroovyMAME, so this will be the build where you can expect to see new features in the near future.

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.

Hit tab, adjust with arrows, hit tab, adjust with arrows - 1000x better than current adjustment method.
