Title: Grooveymame running on wrong monitor - switchres popup
Post by: licehead on August 10, 2022, 07:55:04 pm

Got grooveymame running on CRT for the first time the other night. Moved my setup around to incorporate a main lcd monitor to better navigate windows and have the crt as the 2nd monitor. Now when I launch mame it only appears on the lcd monitor and the pop "Switchres:could not find a video mode that meets your specs" shows up. I messed with the mame ini file to change screen to \\.\DISPLAY1 (tried 2 and 3 as well, no change). Uploaded my mame ini file. I'm sure it's a simple fix and I'm just missing something but I'm stumped.

you need to run mame in verbose mode -v to find what number mame adds to your monitor, in my case was \\.\DISPLAY8 , so adding \\.\DISPLAY8 to it solved my problem.

Hello, you should put 2 in front of numscreens in your ini file.
