Modeline for Dragon's Lair in Groovymame on 4:3 arcade CRT?

(1/1)

kingkatt:
As the latest version of MAME now supports Dragon's Lair, I thought I'd try and get it running on my setup. I have Groovymame 0.263 running on a Windows 10 PC connected to a tri-sync arcade monitor in a Sega New Net City cab.

The game runs just fine, but it looks like it is using the 2560 x 480 super-resolution. The scoreboard is partly visible on the right, the player text in the scoreboard is squashed, and there are obvious interlacing artifacts in the game video.

I tried adding a dedicated 704 x 480 modeline in Video Mode Maker, but it looks like the game is still using the super-resolution.

What should I change in VMM so that the game will 1) run in native resolution with the video part filling the screen and 2) run with interlaced video? Is it possible?

Calamity:
Hi kingkatt,

If the resolution is available, you can force it through the resolution option, like -r 704x480

Anyway, it should look exactly the same with a super resolution as it would with a "native" one.

I haven't tried Dragon's Lair yet, but you can expect interlace artifacts provided in-game interlace video fields won't match the fields of our interlace video output, and there's nothing that can be done about it (easily).
