Title: GroovyMame with Super Resolution is out of range on a SVGA Makvision monitor
Post by: alex_bb23 on November 09, 2015, 01:13:13 pm

Hello Calamity,

First of all, I apologize to disturb you but I have no way out.. Please help me!

Yesterday morning I started my cabinet and I realized that window 7 refuse to start. So, I decided that is time to reinstall my window 7.
After this installation I also had to reinstall the CRT_Emudriver and GroovyMame and I did it! I configured the options in mame.ini and VMMaker file... I'm pretty sure of that

Unfortunately, when I run a game with super resolution installed, the image on the screen is "out of range" - Please check the below picture:

I'm pretty sure that I have a correct configuration on "VMMaker" and mame.ini but is possible that somehow I missed something...

My monitor is a SVGA Makvision 27/29";
Version of mame is: 0.167;
Version of CRT Emu Driver is 0.015j
My video card is ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 Series

Please check my configuration files attached to this topic.

Long story short, I really appreciate if you can help me to solve this issue.

Thank you!

Maybe GM didn't have administrator rights?

Hi Calamity,

The issue is related to HfreqMin-HfreqMax, VfreqMin,VfreqMax frequency. First, I took the present from here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,116023.0.html)
Code: [Select]
monitor_specs0    30000-40000, 47.00-90.00, 0.600, 2.500, 2.800, 0.032, 0.096, 0.448, 0, 0, 640, 768
It seems that to my monitor doesn't like this frequency HfreqMin and VfreqMin, respectively 30000-40000.

Then, I tried the other present option and it seems that the Capcom games they run well

Code: [Select]
monitor_specs0    31500-31500, 50-70, 0.636, 3.813, 1.906, 0.318, 0.064, 1.048, 0, 1, 576, 768
When I run MK2 the switchres was 2560x496@58Hz giving a good sign but still was a problem with the image on my monitor.

So, I started looking on the internet and I found this topic (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=112869.0) - in the end my settings looks like this

Code: [Select]
monitor_specs_0 31500-31500, 47.00-90.00, 0.600, 2.500, 2.800, 0.032, 0.096, 0.448, 0, 0, 640, 768"
Now It seems that with this specs everything back to normal. I'm pretty sure that the issue was related to HfreqMin and VfreqMin.
I'm sure you know better than me…

Thank you!
