ArcadeVGA woes......
GameDork:
Running: WG 4903 monitor
MameWah
JPAC, arcadeVGA
WindowXP Pro
Actually I have had all kinds trouble with the vertical hold. I have tried everything I know.here's the problem:
I first had mame working ok except for vertical games. (rolled like crazy)
I used Arcadevga's software, fixed some of the problems.
Then started adding other emus (VirtuaNES,ZSNES, etc.) I can get one or two working then it will cause windows to roll. Fix windows and that causes mamewah to roll. I get MAME and MameWah working, start a SNES game and the game starts rolling.
How do I use MameWAHs Resolution Tool? I downloaded it and can't get the roms to show?
I have messed with the vertical hold, sprayed it with cleaner, etc....
Also, I can't get VirtuaNES to show full screen, whats up?
So, what I need to know:
1 What res. do I need to set inside windows? (under Display, settings)
2 What res. with the ArcadeVGA "Galaga Bug" icons to?
3 How do I get roms show/correct res. in MameWahs Res. Tool?
4 Get VirtuaNES to show full screen.

1) Whatever you like. I use 640x480 interlaced for the desktop, I wouldn't use anything above that. I run MAMEWAH at 368x240.
2) ?
3) I'm pretty sure there is a small how-to included with the prog ;)
4) Dunno. Try FCEUltra instead (modified version at www.screenshotarchive.com)
Your rolling problem is the v-hold. You need to find the sweet-spot, by VERY carefully adjusting the pot in each resolution that you use - you need to make tiny adjustments until there is no rolling in any res.

doesn't arcadevga handle 640x288 as its heighest non-interlaced resolution? You can get windows to get into it... I use a 3rd party super small resolution changing program.. but I cna't remember the name (at work..) quickres I think.

Yep, I use 640x480 for my desktop tho, purely for the extra real-estate...
GameDork:
Well, i tried to get the mamewah Res. tool working and still can't get a thing to show up.
- I show it the M.A.M.E. Exe. path, the Ini path and the ArcadeVGA.txt path and NOTHING!!! It brings up the ArcadeVGA.txt list and that's it.What am I doing wrong? I try to "find a game" and it says it can't be found!!
Can someone help?
