Switchres could not find a video mode that matches your specs
« on: November 25, 2022, 04:22:24 pm »
Hi:

So, everything was working fine driving a TV that I had.  I swapped in a WG D9200 and set the new modelines up using VMMaker with the default monitor settings for the D9200.

Running Mame .207.   Now it always gets the 'switchres could not find a video mode that matches your specs' error running any game horizontal or vertical...

Attached are few log dumps from mame and my mame.ini.  Has anybody seen this issue?  Seems like all the modelines are 'locked' when switchres iterates through them.  That's different behavior from before redoing the modelines.

Any help would be appreciated, I've run out of things to try.  By the way, manually switching modes in ArcadeOSD works find and looks good.

You are forcing 2560x480@59

Change:

resolution                2560x480@59

to

resolution                2560x0

and see what happens.

Awsome, thanks.  That did the trick...  Not sure why VMMaker didn't update that value... I probably had it fixed when I was running with the TV.

I also had scanlines turned on...  with that off and proper resolutions this thing looks perfect.

Works great now!
