Groovymame 0.261 questions

[chriszhxi]

I just upgraded Groovymame to 0.261 from 0.243, and noticed that during startup and even in the main UI menu (like save some config and back to previous menu) Groovymame does some kinds of resolution switching, I'm not sure the resolution actually changes but I do hear monitor chassis switching sound multiple times and screen goes black and some times shows no signal during the process, this does not happen in previous version, is this normal?

Also the game list icons and preview images are out of aspect and stretched which are good before, what do I need to set to show the correct aspect of images and icons?

No idea, it works fine here.

If you're using Windows, make sure to download the full package from my github site, rather than just replacing the exe into an old folder.

If that doesn't work, please provide some steps to reproduce the issue here.

Hi, I recorded a video to show it, using a fresh copy downloaded from github, just added one game to show the stretched icon and image, nothing else.



As you can see, startup triggers monitor resolution switching, also in the menu, if navigate to deeper menu, even without changing anything, choose save and then quit menu also triggers resolution switching.

I also recorded 0.243 for comparison. I accidentally switched windows during it, that's not behavior of Groovymame.

Ok, tested here, it's true that editing video settings forces a restart of the OSD so new settings are loaded. This triggers Switchres restart too. They probably introduced this change upstream, there's nothing that can be done about it, aside of using a proper frontend instead of the internal one.

Bad aspect ratio on the snaps happens when using super resolutions. I remember they introduced another change, supposedly because it didn't work correctly before. I can't do anything about that either. GM shouldn't be using a super resolution for the menu if 640x480 is available btw.

Desktop resolution is 640X480, only in games use super resolution I believe, as you can see everything in 0.243 is good, so it's 0.261 UI uses super resolution?

I guess I just stick to the old version then, thanks for the help!
