S-video problems...

[Iori]

I just got a flat screen tv to serve as the monitor for my cab and have hooked it up to my computer via S-Video on my 3dfx VooDoo 3 3000 card.  I am having some really strange issues though.  In some games the picture is shifted to the left noticeably (this also goes for Mamewah).  A few games seem to be slightly horizontally squished and when I play older games like Robotron or Space Invaders the screen rolls and it completely unplayable...    Is there anything anyone knows that I can do about this?  Is there some MAME configuration that I don't know about that I need to play with?  Or is this a problem with the video card or it's driver that I am using?

Thanks for any help with this...

Play in the video card mhz settings in your screen properties.

Damn I am a dork...  Had to switch it to TV display mode and adjust the screen a bit... looks good now!  Thanks for the help...

You seem to have corrected your problems, but I still had the occasional problem until I went under the universal settings in MAME and set the resolution to 640*480.  If you haven't done this, I highly recommend it (Plus it should improve picture quality since you're not outputting a resolution where the tv has to drop pixels.)

Thanks Paul, another thing I was wondering about if anyone has any ideas, the edges of the screen bend during play.  It is not too bad, but takes a bit away from the look.  Anyone know what the cause of this might be or does anyone know what I might want to mess with to keep this from happening?  Thanks...
