Hello-
To get Groovymame working what order do I install the packages (CRT EMU, Groovymame, Mame)? Do I still use soft 15 or does the ATI hack force my pc to output 15khz? I have my Sony PVM working with Soft 15 but after messing with the settings through Mame32 (galaga, frogger) I can not the games to fit my screen properly. Do native resolutions fit monitors without using Mame's hardware sctretch? The colors look amazing though!
I know I just asked many loaded questions so any help with the first steps would be great?
-
Most important: Do I install soft 15 for my display or do I install CRT_EmuDriver?
THANKS

Hi rawbe,
I think this post will help clarifying some of your doubts on Soft-15kHz and CRT Emudriver:

You didn't tell us the card you intend to use.

I have a ATI Radeon 9600. I will check out the link. Thanks!

I will try the uninstalling everything and starting from scratch. I like the sound of CRT Emudriver so that will be step 1.
-
Then version 6.5 will be good for your card.
When you have the drivers up and running, just create a new folder and place the GroovyMAME executable inside. Go to command line and into the folder you just created, type 'groovymame -cc' to create a fresh mame.ini, and edit it with your roms path. Default settings should be good already.
