Latest version of GM / SwitchRes, unable to launch

[Chainsaw]

Hello. I have been happily using GM since 2014. I'd not updated GM in many years, so decided now was as good time as any.

My cab has a MS-2932 CRT, which is 640x480 31khz.

Despite several attempts at updating drivers and GM, I am unable to get it working with SwitchRes turned on. These are the steps I have taken:

Download and extract latest GM from GitHub.

Install drivers crt_emudriver_&_tools_2.0_beta_15_16.2.1_W.7.8.10-64_nieg

Reboot machine with just the CRT plugged in.

Run vmmmaker.exe, settings shown in attached screenshots.

Generate modes. It creates 120 modes, which I then install.

Open ArcadeOSD - modes appear fine. ArcadeOSD is reporting the CRT as Display 0.

Run mame, any game, and it fails. Attached bublbobl.txt log file, which failed with an ADL Initialization error:

If I run the game with SwitchRes 0 in mame.ini, it launches fine (bublbobl_switchres_0.txt).

If I run the very old version of GM I have installed in another folder, it runs just fine (bublbobl old GM working.txt):

It looks like a SwitchRes issue. I have also attached the mame.ini file.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

Matt

Chainsaw, please get the correct driver version. You have the one based on 12.6 (not 16.2 as you said), your log shows that. That version no longer works with GM (except for the super old legacy cards, that's the only reason it's still available for download).

Thank you for the advice. That's odd, as I had installed the newer version. I'll do a driver clean and start it again, and let you know how it goes. Thanks

I had to run an AMD driver cleaner, otherwise the drivers just didn't seem to update. A few reboots later and I'm up and running perfectly. Thank you
