GroovyMame for arcade monitors version 0.146u4_013f
Calamity:
Hi Ansa89,
Please ask your friend to try GroovyMame version 0.146u4_013f, which is the most recent currently supported version for Windows. In case he still has issues, let me know.
I have marked the v0.147 patch on the google's code site as "LINUX ONLY" to avoid more confusions.
Hopefully in some days I can move to the new compiling environment and port the patch to the newer versions.
Ansa89:
Oh ok, I will do.
Thanks a lot.
Calamity:
Just another update. I already have the Linux part sorted out. There's still one minor change that needs to be done in order to make it bullet-proof, but for the most part everything is working as expected. Reworking the Linux side has been surprinsingly painless, thanks to the superb job that Chris Kennedy did. Only very little stuff needed to be changed actually to rewire it to the new modeline engine. In comparison to Windows, the Linux way of custom video timing is incredibly straight forward.
I'm really happy with the overall results I'm getting with this new patch, specially how consistent it is: either with ddraw/d3d/sdl you always get the same results with the same settings. Of course, there are still some rough edges here and there, as well as the Powerstrip thing that is the biggest task pending.
One feature that's fully working now is automatic frequency scaling, as an alternative to resolution scaling. This allows you to obtain true low resolutions (i.e. hardware scanlines) for PC CRT monitors that support 120 Hz. I've been playing with this today and it works like a charm.
More updates coming soon.
RetroACTIVE:
I'm very excited for this upcoming version! Thanks Cal!

Hi Calamity, one question.
I'm using last windows version of Groovymame and I have soft-15KHz + some custom resolutions.
If I enable the modeline generator I obtain all resolutions shifted to the left (or right I don't remember) and these resolutions are brighter.
Is there anything I can do to fix center issue and excessive brightness? Maybe something with monitor_specs0 option?
Thanks
