Title: GM wont pick right resolution for Universal games (Lady Bug, Jumping Jack)
Post by: Endprodukt on June 02, 2013, 07:52:03 am

I'm using magic resolutions. I would love to post a log but for some reason it wont save anywhere?  I have to use the -v -m >jjack.txt but it's not saving anywhere. If I use -v >jjack.txt it's an unknown command.

What's happening: 

Resolution for Lady Bug or Jumping Jack is 240x192. I will get 640x480. Tried to force it to 248x192 as I have this modeline and it still chooses 640x480 interlaced. It's a cocktail table with a vertical orientation. Modetablemerthod_Xml 2, not custom. Is that right?

Hi Endprodukt,

This is because the crt_range you're using (or the one picked by your current monitor preset, see it at the top of the log) has a value for progressive_lines_min that's higher than 192. Make that value equal to 192 and it will pick the right mode.

To get logs: groovymame.exe romname -v >romname.txt

I'm using the Arcade_15ex preset. Can't get a log with that command "Unknown option: >jjack.txt"

Is that Linux?

The arcade_15ex preset is only supported by versions of the SwitchRes patch starting from 014. GM 0.146u4 was based in SwitchRes 013.

The logs have always worked fine for everybody. Check the syntax. Besides, with SwitchRes versions prior to 014 you needed to specify -v -md 4. Newer versions only need -v
