Title: Vector games in GroovyMAME
Post by: Gandalf68 on March 18, 2019, 08:57:33 am

Hello everyone !

Could someone tell me how to have a resolution more faithful to the original for vector games in GroovyMAME please ?
As shown by the log I attached to this message, I think that the resolution chosen by GM is not adequate.
It's proven in game by the fact that I do not see some lines in the graphics :(

In vector.ini (create one if you don't have it already), add this option:

resolution 640x480@59

You can also add additional vector-specific tweaks to your vector.ini file.  In the past, I think increasing contrast, gamma, and beam width seemed to give more pleasing results (at least on my monitor) but I haven't played with these settings in recent versions of MAME so experiment away...

Code: [Select]

# CORE SCREEN OPTIONS

brightness                1.0
contrast                  1.0
gamma                     1.0

# CORE VECTOR OPTIONS

beam_width_min            1.0
beam_width_max            1.0
beam_intensity_weight     0
flicker                   0
