Hi again,
After having set up Groovymame succesfully, I want to add several Snes and Megadrive roms to my future CRT cabinet with this new emudriver setup. But it's turned out to be harder than previosly expected. Some tests:
Snes9x win64 1.55 emulator
After having Snes9x emulator configured, with superresolutions and even though in “display configurarion” it lists and accept every single mode you choose. Full screen mode only shows a small picture in the upper right corner of your monitor (¼ of the size). Only some interlaced modes appear to fill the whole screen area (but eventually your eyes do not want that flicker).
Adding and writing other non superres modes to the driver (say 320x240 or 320x224) obtains the same result as with 15 khz superres modes.
Fusion 3.64
It worked beautifully before the new emudriver setup. I can’t set it to handle non-interlaced modes. It only let you choose 640x480 and 4 or 5 other superres modes which have vertical res values too high (interlaced). Used Direct 3D. Direct draw and placing ddraw.dll in the same folder causes error.
Mednacen win64 0.9.48
Due to lack of GUI I only have been able to launch it and carry out some tests through atract-mode. Full screen switching only returns equal results (interlaced mode, probably 640x480). A have’nt seen a video option to tweak something interesting in configuration file.
I have`nt tried this fork
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=155264.0 because I suppose it does’nt improve things with megadrive module.
Another option I’ve considered is to use Groovymame integrated MESS. That’s to say, to play megadrive and Snes roms in Groovymame, but after googling a bit I cannot figured out exactly how to and some say it is not a good idea as any of the former emulators are far better for this purpose.
In conlusion, I am a bit lost and don’nt know which path to take. Could please anyone save me efforts and provide me some advice or technical help?
Thanks,
