Setting up for Win7, LCD, and Nvidia Card??
lettuce:
Ok i am wanting to get groovyMAME working on my media PC that is connected to my LCD screen, im running windows 7 and am using a Nvidia GTX 560 Ti card. What settings do i need to use to get Groovymame working with this type of setup?
lettuce:
Anyone, have tried setting it up, but when ever i load a rom i get a message saying something about too many modelines??
Calamity:
Bear in mind that this build is mainly targeted to WinXP, CRT, and ATI Card ;D
However, read the last posts in the main thread where it's explained how to use this with an LCD screen. You'll need to install Powerstrip for that.
That error you're reporting seems to be a bug, please report your logs with -v -md 4 params so we can fix it:

Thanks for the reply. Ok just to make sure, i have downloded:
groovymame32_0143.013c_test.rar
VMMaker 1.3b + Arcade_OSD_1.3.rar
Powerstrip
and installed them (not sure if i need VMMaker, as using LCD, Win 7 and Nvidia card)
These are the only options i have changed in the VMMaker.ini file:
MonitiorType = 'lcd'
monitor_specs0 29000.00-50000.00,50.00-70.00,0.636,3.813,1.906,0.318,0.064,1.048,0,0,1920,1080
and in the mame.ini file:
monitor lcd
monitor_aspect 16:9
cleanstretch 1
Then from the command prompt i go to the mame directory and use the following command to load a rom:
mame 1942 -ps -monitor lcd -video d3d
upon doing this i get the following message (the line, "SwitchRes: Warning, too many active modelines for storage 251" is repeated loads of times):
SwitchRes: Warning, too many active modelines for storage 251
SwitchRes: Warning, too many active modelines for storage 251
SwitchRes: Failed opening System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{DEB039CC-B704-

C:\Mame>
Am i doing everything correctly??

Fine, but you don't need the VMMaker app as you're not using an ATI card.
These are the only options you should need to change in mame.ini:
monitor lcd
monitor_aspect 16:9
monitor_specs0 29000.00-50000.00,50.00-70.00,0.636,3.813,1.906,0.318,0.064,1.048,0,0,1080,1080
You'll probably need to raise that hfreq 50000 figure to something around 70000 or so, check your TV's documentation or use the MonInfo app to get the right ranges.
However that won't fix things because the main problem is this:

This is probably a bug that I introduced with the last patches, or a maybe there are actually too many video modes available in your system. Could you please check with Arcade_OSD the number of resolutions reported, just activate one of the modes and you'll see the number between ().
