Issue with 0.227 and Frogger/Galaxian/Moon Cresta graphics
« on: January 28, 2021, 11:47:11 am »
I am having an issue that started with GM 0.227.  The bottom of the game screen and marquee right of the screen on these games are covered with artifacts which vary depending on what game I played previously.

I am using a D9200 monitor, arch linux (updated from the original GroovyArcade) and a personally compiled groovymame from the github sources.  I've been doing it this way for a very long time and only .227 is causing this issue.  When I roll back to 0.226 everything is fine.

The log output order is changed quite a bit in 0.227 from 0.226 so it's a bit hard for me to see where the issue is but two things stand out:

in 0.226 I get the line: Adding monitor screen0 (728 x 544)
in 0.227 it reads: Adding monitor screen0 (648 x 480)

But the switchres lines used seem the same.

I can't find anything in the mame changelog that would account for this issue although the fact that it seems to only happen on games that try to load galaxian.ini is suspicious to me.  Not sure if the issue is based on that rom or the resolution.

Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.  I am surely missing something simple.

I have attached everything I think will help.

SR 2.0 has some new options. You need to add "modesetting 1" in your mame.ini.
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.

Perfect.  I ran mame64 -cc to add the missing config options and then edited that one like you suggested.  I look forward to reading about the SR 2.0 differences when you get done documenting them but in the meantime thanks for the help.
