Title: VMMaker Monitor Type
Post by: ReelTechnoFreek on October 18, 2014, 04:08:16 pm

Hey guys, just wondering what the best MonitorType to set in VMMaker.ini is given my particular monitor/chassis.

I have the Wei Ya M3129 Tri sync but am only using it for 31khz.

I currently have MonitorType in VMMaker set to VGA which is working so far (from what I can tell!).

However on cools' guide he uses CUSTOM with the following spec:
monitor_specs0 31400-31500, 49.50-65.00, 0.940, 3.770, 1.890, 0.349, 0.064, 1.017, 0, 0, 512, 800

I also notice that the 3129 has a preset in groovymame. Should I be converting the crt_range2 to vmmker format to get the best 31k for my monitor?

All advice appreciated.

Use Cools' specs. It could make sense to port the GM ranges if you were going to use the three ranges (not the case).

Mine is simply arcade_31 ported. Works great with that monitor.
