Hi all. Looking for some help getting GM configured. I'm currently seeing the "could not find video mode to meet your specs." error when starting GM and any ROM. Here's my setup"
Hardware:
Tiny XP-32.
Radeon HD 2600 XT
NEC MultiSync FE950+ CRT monitor
Software:
crt_emudriver_9.3_1.2b_xp_32
groovymame32_0164.015h.7z
Configuration:
- The EMUDriver appears to have installed fine, and it shows up as "Qimonda Radeon HD 2600 XT" in device manager's Display Adapters.
- I configured VMM to use super resolutions, as per instructions in "ReslList - super.txt", with the three settings indicated set to 0, as well as MonitorType = "MULTI". When I run VMM, I get the following output:

After a reboot, I created mame.ini using the GM exexutable, and configured it as per instructions in "ReslList.txt", and when I run GM, I immediately get the "could not find video mode... " error. And when I start the one and only ROM I have (dkongjr.7z), I get the same error. I have attached a debug log for the ROM, as well as my mame.ini (renamed to mame.ini.txt).
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Your log doesn't show the super resolutions. Though I believe they were created fine, they could be being filtered out by your system. Try creating the modes again replacing the 2560x values by 1600x in resllist.txt, and also apply the resolution option accordingly in mame.ini (resolution 1600x0).

Could it be the monitor type?
monitor pc_70_120

The '1600x' change did the trick, Calamity. Thanks very much.
Scan lines look absolutely superb on this monitor. Almost too good...
