Clarification on using GroovyMAME on a LCD

[Calamity]

You mean I have to disable freesync for it to work correctly? Can't do that via the monitor, only via the radeon graphics panel that I don't seem to have on crt emudriver ^^".
Guess I have to find out how to install the panel standalone or do it via registry or an external tool.

Probably your best option is to install the whole official ADM package version 18.5.1, then once installed overwritte the display driver with the Setup from CRT Emudriver.

I'll see if I can rip off the Radeon Settings installer, and avoid having to provide the huge full package.

Thanks for helping me with the configuration, but sadly it is still not working
I installed the official 18.5.1 package and replaced the driver.
Under monitor settings I disabled freesync and I also made a custom profile for mame and disabled freesync there. The games still have speedup for me.
Maybe the control panel settings don't work? I'm on windows 7 btw.
Refreshrate switching itself seems perfectly fine, when looking at the log and machine information ingame.
Even when bfi is not enabled. The game has no framelimit at all and just goes max speed for me.
Is there anything else I can try to debug this?

You seem to have frame delay enabled. You can't use frame delay and bfi simultaneously.

[retrogamer123]

I just enabled it temporarily to see if it makes any difference with the speedup.
When starting mame without bfi i still have speedup. When i go to the slider controls, set framedelay to 1 and then back to 0, gamespeed is at normal speed O.O.

Without bfi you will have speedup because you're setting vfreq_min = 100 Hz.

Funny thing is when I have black frame insertion activated, speedup is also gone for me when i use the slider controls got to frame_delay 1 and then back to 0

edit: oh it probably switches refreshrate somehow when doing this, setting frame_delay to 1 in the slider controls, the screen goes black for a sec

edit2: Is it normal to have the switchres: error trying to fill monitor range with d3d at mame startup, because of my lcd. I still have this one. I see it on the commandline but not in the logs.

[Calamity]

Could you start from scratch? This is to avoid cfg corruption. Download my full package, unzip, copy your current mame.ini, leave the frame delay slider alone, and run with non-bfi and bfi configuration, and post both logs, please full logs with the endings, not cropped like the previous ones.

Also, please launch the game from command line, not from internal gui.

[Calamity]

edit2: Is it normal to have the switchres: error trying to fill monitor range with d3d at mame startup, because of my lcd. I still have this one. I see it on the commandline but not in the logs.

No, it's not normal. Please copy the exact error, d3d has nothing to do with the monitor range, you're probably mixing two errors.

[retrogamer123]

Starting from scratch with the full package did the trick. It works normal now 
Many many thanks for all your help.

Im guessing this only works for AMD cards not Intel, as the copy to clip board option for me is greyed out??

[cybermat]

Sorry to bump this thread (in my opinion ruined by a lot of useless posts).

At the moment i'm using LCD in fixed way and i'm happy with it, i don't have problems, but i want to see running Rtype at 55 just to see if it's possible in my enviroment.

I use an Nvidia card and i'm trying to use custom and crtrange way , hoping to have well understood that with this method i should not add custom modelines manually.
Monitor used is a simple HP L1950 4:3

I cannot read EDID with ArcadeOs so i used "MonInfo" , for crtrange i read a thread where obtaining the values from Groovyarcade log.
I added a dummy modeline 1280x1024@59 with Nvidia control panel (and also via CRU) , but it's shown as "native" and not "custom" under Arcade_os.

I don't know if the expected behaviour should be having 55hz, but i cannot use this refresh.

Attached you can find mame ini and rtype log

Regarding these voices

lock_system_modes         1
lock_unsupported_modes    1

I suppose they are ok, i keep these to "0" when i use LCD in fixed mode. Anyway if i put to 0 i got black screen.

I read a lot and went up and down for the forum, so forgive me if i didn't understand!

[schmerzkaufen]

I use an Nvidia card and i'm trying to use custom and crtrange way , hoping to have well understood that with this method i should not add custom modelines manually.

But you should! (add modes tho, not modelines)
Since you're using an nVidia card that's not compatible with Emudrivers and dynamic modelines, you're therefore trying the 'static' method, which requires you to create custom static individual modes from the nVidia control panel or CRU.
Typically you write a rounded Hz value like 55 or 57 at your panel resolution then hit add, then the software kindly adjusts the other modeline parameters for you in the background (well that's how I picture what happens lol)
You can try and create only one for 55Hz games (1280x1024@55), but you can also make several from 53 to 61 if you want the vast majority of games supported, or narrower 54 to 60, whatever, and provided your monitor will accept all 7 or 9 modes, of course.

I added a dummy modeline 1280x1024@59 with Nvidia control panel (and also via CRU) , but it's shown as "native" and not "custom" under Arcade_os.

It might be that there is already an existing 59Hz mode in your nVidia driver (typically actually the 59.94 mode labelled '59'), in which case you could try to erase it and then try again to create you own desired 'real' 59 mode.

PS: for the dummy mode I always pick whatever my panel resolution but at 58Hz or lower, if there is ever need to avoid confusion. Anyway getting rid of the stock nVidia 59 mode is recommended so you won't be bothered by it again.
Scratch that, actually I seem to recall it's ****x****@0 you should write. The dummy mode is used for the dynamic method (w/ AMD & Emudrivers)

lock_system_modes         1
lock_unsupported_modes    1

I suppose they are ok, i keep these to "0" when i use LCD in fixed mode. Anyway if i put to 0 i got black screen.

Yes IIRC both on 0 should be fine. If you have created the 55Hz modeline at your nVidia panel or CRU, this time you should get a picture, I think. ^^

Note that again there's no guarantee your monitor will accept 55Hz (old non-HD monitors are often good picks for refresh flexibility tho). And even if you do get a picture; you'll have to check what the info says right after booting the game, as it tells both the game's refresh and the switches/monitor's running, they should be pretty close to a match with less than 1Hz discrepancy if the method worked as expected, and scrollings should be perfectly smooth.

[cybermat]

Ok thanks for clarification about Nvidia enviroment.
I tried but it seems that i cannot sync to 55hz! Nvidia let me create 55-56-57 and so on but when i select for example 55 via Windows it seems ok...i come back to settings but i see 60hz.

So running Groovymame a game like Rtype, i have 109% as running speed!

Aw, maybe that's bad luck, some monitors can, some cannot... honestly I have tried about 10 different LCDs I found around, and only 2 would accept to run non-60Hz.

PS: could you please post the full log ? thx

[cybermat]

That's the log!

I use HP L1950 and is a good lcd for a bartop.

- At the moment i have a raspberry with rgbpi cable (scart) connect to a Trinitron CRT consumer. With this setup i can play properly a lot of games with their native refresh.
- A bartop with this LCD using Geforce 1030. I can say that with groovymame, even though i use a LCD, i have a good user experience. This build should be the only one to be used, it will save a lot of headhache when you need to run games like wonderboy, powerspikes etc etc

In the future i will set up my (future) old pc with HD 5770 following the guide found here with groovymane, connecting to Trinitron CRT consumer.

[schmerzkaufen]

Mmh..and yet the 55Hz mode is available in the list.

Maybe the problem is not the monitor, but at this point I am not good enough to give better advice, sorry.   

[cybermat]

It's available but it's a fake entry, when you select it you still have 60hz.

I tried 55hz on ProLite XB2374HDS with GTX970 and Nvidia control panel tell me "out of range" , so i think that GT1030 on HP L1050 is not able to understand that is out of range and let me add that resolution.
With CRU i cannot add refresh under 60hz (59 58 etc etc are red).

The most important thing is understanding that i'm doing well, so i can test on different LCD this setup. At work i have several different LCD.

[schmerzkaufen]

If you can get your hands on a ViewSonic the chances are good with that manufacturer, I use one myself (check my signature).

There is a hint, if you download a ViewSonic model's user guide .pdf (not the comparison sheet or datasheet, use their downloads search engine or check their global site), then scroll down to the specifications and in the list of supported resolutions you see that uncommon 56Hz listed, then it probably means that it is a model similar to mine: compatible with any native refresh you throw at it and therefore fully supporting GroovyMAME whether using the dynamic or static method.



In regards to other brands, sorry IDK, my only other one compatible is a Maxdata/Belinea from 2007.

People will find that buying a G-Sync or FreeSync monitor to go with their GPU is much easier, of course.
But since some much cheaper monitors might support non-60Hz then naturally Groovy expands our choices and can save money.

[cybermat]

Ok my daddy's LCD, a Samsung Syncmaster 930BF has that 56hz! So this week end i will give a try and in case of success, i will stole it! 

I found a lot of old threads and i don't know what is the current situation, but i don't want to open another thread regarding the best settings to use with a LCD, taking in account lags and so on... I read about a lot of comparisons, lag testing, bgfx vs d3d9 d3d11 etc etc

I have on my bartop Windows 7 64 bit and i use BGFX with auto as backend.

- Windows Aero should be on or off ?
- BGFX should be D3d9 , d3d11 or auto ?

or would be better put video as "direct3d" using HLSL ?

[schmerzkaufen]

Ok my daddy's LCD, a Samsung Syncmaster 930BF has that 56hz!

Please do not misunderstand, it doesn't have to be 56Hz, and I simply gave you the only example I know of a hint that ViewSonic monitors might be compatible with non-60Hz refreshes.

If whatever monitor from any other name brand has non-60Hz modes listed in the specs then yes, they might be like the ViewSonics, but again this is only a vague clue, not a solid indication.

I found a lot of old threads and i don't know what is the current situation, but i don't want to open another thread regarding the best settings to use with a LCD, taking in account lags and so on... I read about a lot of comparisons, lag testing, bgfx vs d3d9 d3d11 etc etc

Be careful reading the forums, there is no emulator that confuses people more than GroovyMAME as far as I've seen and experienced, which is why it is not very popular. If you read too much info in disorder across the community you will definitely get overwhelmed/confused. Some threads carry outdated information.

- Windows Aero should be on or off ?

off

- BGFX should be D3d9 , d3d11 or auto ?
or would be better put video as "direct3d" using HLSL ?

Note if you use BGFX, the GroovyMAME features (smooth scrollings @ exact refresh with frame_delay lag reduction) WILL NOT WORK.

Leave 'video' on 'auto', because Groovy is coded to use d3d9ex by default.
You can use HLSL (adjust settings using the 'raster.ini' file)

Basically with GroovyMAME, you cannot do whatever you want changing the settings in the mame.ini at random, you have to follow some strict rules or everything will fall apart, the first step should always be here;

If you succeed there is nothing better, nothing more accurate as far as MAME emulation goes.

Ok thanks! I started from the scratch changing what is suggested on the link you provided, and i can say that i can see more responsiveness! Wonder Boy is a good test bench. Frame Delay has been set to 5.
I'm testing different HLSL settings, i've seen on shmups an interesting thread, in the past i was used to use Lettuce's settings, that i find very good.

Regarding 56hz, i understood that 56hz is not meaning "LCD will support anything you set" , but it's a good starting point. I tried 3 LCD where 56hz is not mentioned and it doesn work, so i will test on a LCD where is stated 800x600@56hz.

Heya! upping this thread. 

I have been trying to do the static method again, since I'll be using an nVidia GPU for some time,
and oh damn, it's been a long while and I get strange results, also I bet a couple of things are different now with SwitchRes 2.0 ^^

Here's what I have extracted from moninfo and turned into workable modeline and crt range
"1920x1080" 148,500 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync
into;

Code: [Select]

SwitchRes: user modeline "1920x1080_60 67.500000KHz 60.000000Hz" 148.500000 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1089 1125   +hsync +vsync
Switchres: Monitor range 67275.00-67725.00,59.80-60.20,0.593,0.296,0.997,0.059,0.074,0.533,1,1,1080,1080,0,0then into;

Code: [Select]

56250-84375,50.00-75.00,0.593,0.296,0.997,0.059,0.074,0.533,1,1,1080,1080,0,0
Got a bunch of custom modes ready, set from the nVidia control panel (54, 55, 56, etc) and checked that they're all working (this is my usual lcd monitor so of course they do)

Not sure how I am supposed to configure modern Groovy though... attached a couple logs and mame.ini in its current state.

What happends is that even with sync_refresh_tolerance set to 1 the games are running at weird refreshes like 94% for esprade, or 97% for raiden2, with distorted sound.
Previously with that method I was getting 99% speed on all games with no issues, so I bet it is still possible today but I am doing it wrong....anew ?

The first thing I'm seeing wrong is -refresh_dont_care: you shouldn't have it enabled. I don't remember if this was the recommendation at some point, but certainly it's not now. Basically what happens with that option is that you tell SR that the refresh is editable, when it is not.

Yup ! you spotted the culprit immediately.

That setting is on by default actually, I didn't pay attention but that makes sense. ^^

Thanks !
