Hello!

I was on an older groovyMAME and just updated to the latest. I also saw there was a newer version of CRTemudriver so I decided to update that too.

Most games like Killer Instinct and Street Fighter 2 look perfect (320x240 on my Wells Gardner low res CRT). However, now all of a sudden all the Mortal Kombat games are way fuzzier than they used to be.

This is what I am getting when I boot those games up:



I am assuming this has something to do with groovyMAME/switchres trying to make adjustments since those games are a little "higher res" than the standard resolution. However, I don't mind a little bit being cut off the top and bottom if it means the image will be razor sharp.

How do I get the games to use what they were when they looked razor sharp? I would try to google/search this myself but I wouldn't even know what to type in!

Thanks so much in advance for any help you can provide!

You didn't create the required modes. You probably want to use super resolutions. Check 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.

No. You have to do that when you upgrade CRT Emudriver.
