Another question from me, but hopefully an easy one.
For CPS 1 etc. the resolution modes are easy to identify in Arcade OSD such as 60hz at 224 etc. However I can't find the exact rate and size for Midway games so can't get accurate Porch and Freq. values. Don't really want to have to trial and error guess it, is there an obvious mode for these games I just can't see?
Thanks

Launch your game with GM, using the -v option, as if you were to create a log. Exit.
Launch Arcade OSD. You'll notice the option "Get mode from clipboad" is enabled. Use it, it will load the last video used by GM.
Make your tweaks. When you're done, use the option "Copy mode to clipboard", then open Notepad, CTRL+V and you'll get the relevant values to create a custom crt_range.
My advice is to only use the horizontal values, leave alone vertical porches, unless the picture is not centered.

Thanks that works great for everything else, as soon as I change even one value with anything Midway and 'test' the image messes up and goes nuts. Nothing else does this :/ Bloody Midway!

That's because you must be changing the wrong stuff. If you keep vfreq/hfreq fixed, then everything else should be adjustable.
Anyway just in case, restart your PC, sometimes a mode gets corrupt while messing with Arcade OSD too much.
