CRT driver along with test mode is enabled?

I don't know why all of my modes are marked as system. They are all of the modelines I added using VMmaker. Is there some option or something in VMmaker that is causing them to be marked as system? Does it even matter that they are being marked as system?
What do you mean magic or dynamic resolutions? And I have CRT emudriver installed and it is in test mode. The resolutions work just fine going to my CRT monitor.

Hi Fusion916,
I'd say you installed CRT Emudriver based on Catalyst 12.6, that's only for pre-HD 5000 cards.
Try with the version based on Catalyst 16.2.1 (this).
The Powerstrip backend will only work if you have Powerstrip installed (legacy app for legacy hw).

Thanks it looks like you nailed it. I uninstalled my previous crt emudriver and used the package you linked and everything started to work correctly. groovymame no longer crashes when I use the default switchres backend and now switchres always picks the correct resolution. I tried a lot of different games that does a lot of internal resolution switching I have not come across any problems yet. Thank you.
BTW I don't know how you figured this out? It is not very obvious from what I could see, haha.
