VMMaker Reporting Incorrect Label Overlaps?
« on: March 03, 2018, 03:51:11 pm »
I'm trying to add these modelines as static modes:

348 x 288 @ 49.701458 MDpalBorders
352 x 288 @ 50.000000 SaturnPALp

This is the output from VMMaker though:

Code: [Select]
Error: overlapped labels for these modes:
/SaturnPALp                     
"352x288_50 15.65KHz 50.00Hz" 6.76 352 368 400 432 288 292 295 313 -hsync -vsync

/MDBorders                     
"352x288_50 15.66KHz 49.70Hz" 6.76 352 368 400 432 288 293 296 315 -hsync -vsync

You will notice /MDBorders is not the same as what I've put in the user modes text file.

Is this normal behaviour? It is kinda screwing up my plans  :lol

Is there a way I can disable this overlap feature and how come it's changed the res?

VMMaker rounds all horizontal values to multiples of 8. That's why the overlap happens. It might work to use 289p for the Saturn instead, in case your emulator doesn't screw the scaling because of this.
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.

Ok understood, I'll give it a go.

Is there any way btw to use super resolutions for mame as well as static resolutions with specific refreshes?

Better yet, is there anything other than switchres that can create modeslines on the fly using super resolutions or is there a standalone exe for windows for switchres?
