Ok, so I decided to start from scratch, following this guide:
http://geedorah.com/eiusdemmodi/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=1052#p1052- Uninstalled Emudrivers and restarted when it asked me to restart.
- Installed Emudriver 2.0 beta 15. My graphics card showed 'Standard VGA Graphics Adapter'. It's a clean Windows 7 installation from yesterday and I've never installed any ATI drivers.
- Driver installed successfully and I restarted when it asked me to restart.
- Unzipped Groovymame64 and ran 'mame64.exe -cc'.
- Opened VMMaker, Edit Settings, selected 'Arcade 15.7khz - standard resolution'.
- Clicked on Video Card, de-select 'Extend desktop automatically on device restart'.
- From Output, selected 'Analog_0-VGA - disabled'. Clicked on 'Enable EDID emulation'. This changes the Device and Output fields showing 'ARCADE_15' with the rest of the info. This also adds a virtual second monitor, not sure if that's correct?
- Clicked on User Modes tab and selected 'user_modes - super.ini'.
- Clicked on Mame tab, selected mame64.exe and ticked 'Export monitor settings to Groovymame'.
- Clicked on OK.
- Closed VMMaker.
- Checked my display settings, which shows the Display as ARCADE_15, resolution 640x480 and 2 monitors set to 'extend these displays'. The CRT tv was active on the 2nd monitor.
- Opened VMMaker again.
- Clicked on Generate modes. Showed 15 modelines generated. 640x480 and a bunch of super resolutions, 2560x240 etc.
- Clicked on Install modes. Showed 15 modelines installed.
- Closed VMMaker.
- Ran groovymame from command line, mame64 wboy.
- So at this point I can't see anything running on the CRT, since it's on the 2nd monitor. I'm connected to the pc via VNC, and it's just a blank screen on the 1st monitor. When I press escape, it shows the following: SwitchRes: [wboy] <1> horizontal <512x224@60.096153>-><2560x240@60.096153>
- If I run it again and actually go into the game and insert a coin, I can hear the sound which sounds perfect. So I assume it's running fine, but from the 1st monitor, while my CRT is the 2nd.
This is where I'm at the moment, don't want to change anything else yet. Anything I did wrong or left out?
