| Black bar at bottom with ArcadeVGA and WG9200 |
| << < (4/6) > >> |
| RayB:
Well in that NBA Jam photo you have a black bar at the TOP too. And Donkey Kong is entirely fitting in the screen. So if you would go back and read my original answer to you you will see that that is exactly what's going on. |

NBA Jam is also 399x253 resolution, which is somewhere between a normal 4:3 aspect ratio and 16:9. That means a certain amount of space on the top and bottom are normal (I'm assuming you are running 401x256 for that game). What other game(s) exhibit this behavior? Also have you adjusted the vertical size/position to center it a bit and minimize the bars some (like the third time this has been asked)? |

The image does not seem to want to cross that dark area, as when I move the image position down it "rolls' on itself. As so which resolution I am running this at, I have windows running at 640x480- true color - 60mhz, then I guess whatever native resoultion the game is. As suggested upthread, i adjusted the "windows" size/position to get that looking right, then ran mame with moon patrol, re-adjusted to get THAT where it is. As to which games have this issue.. quite franky 95% of the roms I have do this (DL 0127 roms from [romsite name redacted]). Specific samples (I tried to get a variety of ages here) : Paperboy, Moon Patrol, Spiderman the videogame, simpsons, defender, etc. I might say the samle of ones that WORK is easier to track than ones that DON'T exhibit this behavior. I can try and get a take a larger sample tonight. Ummon: I also read your wiki - thanks! Much of what you link to is what I read in my reserch before buying the Arcadevga. Particularly the video card comparion. It was one of the reasons I bought this card in the first place. The command line variables I am running Mame with is -switchres -nohwstretch -video ddraw Also want to thank everyone again for their help. Hopefully we can fix this. |

Can you try one other thing? Launch Paperboy and bring up the on screen display and then post what frequency the monitor is running at. Should say something like 25khz @ 60 Hz. |
| AndyWarne:
Generally the picture on OSD monitors like the D9200 should not "roll in" on itself because any resolution the monitor is incapable of displaying would result in an "out of range" error on the screen. Good advice above, what is the OSD actually showing the frequency to be? Theres a chance it could be a monitor fault unfortunately. |
