GM and Marquees with Super Resoultions
« on: September 26, 2018, 01:39:29 pm »
Does anybody have a setup that has a Marquee with GM using Super Resolutions and the Marquee is visible during gameplay? I am trying to do this .

I have GM .201 . , using HS, and Hyper Marquee with EDS, and Since I have switches to Super Resolutions I can keep the Marquee working once I select a game. Does anybody have this working?

Thanks

I have numscreens .  1

And I have my two monitors  setup like this .

screen0                   \\.\DISPLAY1
aspect0                   auto
resolution0               auto
view0                     Primary
screen1                   \\.\DISPLAY2
aspect1                   auto
resolution1               1920x1080
view1                     Marquee_Only

So, are you trying to make GM show your marquees, or are you using Hyper Marquee instead? You can't use both methods at the same time.

Hi Calamity , I want HM to display the Marquees , not GM. I had this working before I started using Super Resolutions which are great by the way. I thought my ini would take car of this. But it does not seem to work.

The options you posted are meant to show your marquees through GM, not Hyper Marquee. In other words, now you have to programs trying to draw on your marquee.

Anyway I highly doubt something like Hyper Marquee can run without breaking GM completely.

I bought an LCD direct from China
rcstarsgroup.com. Does it work with GM and emudriver ? Yes but that question is the reason for this post , it works however , you will need to use Mame to view the marquees in Mame not with a third party software like , hypermarquee .
