Mame run fine now, no error messages.....but the display didnt look that great very blocky on my LCD screenn guess thats cos there no filtering going on. What the best way to get a more authentic arcade monitor look?

Thanks for the log, it helped me to catch a bug that I've just fixed. Now the refresh will be more accurate when using LCD & PowerStrip. I've made this new build as groovymame32_0143.013c_test.rar and deleted the other files. Make sure to get the new one. It would be great if you have could get me the new log for 1942.
Yep it's supposed to look blocky as it's not stretching nor filtering the image if possible, only scaling. Use the new hlsl effects to make it look like an arcade monitor. You'll need a pretty decent card to use it fluently at 1920x1080.

OK have attached the new log. GFX card should be up to the job, am using a Nvidia GTX 560 Ti card. What command do i need to run so hlsl is enabled?
But i did get an error message when i quit out of 1942........
Have just tried some other roms but their displaying in 16:9 not 4:3, why is this?
Calamity:
Thanks for the log! I wanted to check is the bug was fixed, I see it is.
Just ignore that error message, it's because your running it in Win7, but as you're using PowerStrip the access to the registry is unnecessary.
If you want the correct the aspect ratio (4:3), open mame.ini and edit these options:
monitor_aspect 16:9
keepaspect 1
HLSL effects are somewhat tricky to set up, I'm not the best one to give you that info, this thread may help you:

Also, try adding the -syncrefresh -soundsync params to your commandline or mame.ini to get rid of tearing and sound stuttering. When doing this, try games like mk or donpachi which run at refresh rates different than 60, and check if you can get smooth scrolling and if your TV can handle those refresh rates properly.

Cheers Calamity!!!
So in a fresh mame.ini file what are the only options i should be changing for the perfect setup for using an LCD display??
