Radeon HD 2400 - Multiple resolutions in game ini?
retrorepair:
Rather than start a new thread I figured I'd just bump this one.
So I'm now trying to set up groovymame on a different PC but with the exact same gfx card and all the same files that were on my previous PC, just a new install of windows.
I had the PC connected to a PC monitor running a very high res then started groovymame as normal with ms pacman. Obviously out of the PC monitors range so connected to my cab and it looked fine.
Then I reset the PC with just the cab plugged in and as expected windows detected the low res monitor and displayed it all correctly. However now EVERY game in MAME is just squashed up in the middle!
I tried adjusting the dot clock (though not should why I'd need to) to 8.7, same thing. Then I checked arcade OSD and all resolutions there display normally. So what's going on? Nothing has changed in any of the configs, I just restarted the PC! The desktop resolution changed but why would that affect anything else?? :banghead:
*EDIT* Dodonpachi DaiOuJou is displayed correctly ???
Calamity:
Not sure what the issue can be. Just post one log of a game that's squashed.
retrorepair:
Ok here's mk2
*EDIT* Another interesting thing I found is games are not switching resolution after booting like Radient Silvergun, it picks one (interlaced) res and sticks with it. So the title screen looks correct but the other screens and the game are squashed in the middle but interlaced this time.
Calamity:
Thanks for the log. I think I know what the issue is. Seems like the monitor_dotclock value in mame.ini needs to be specified in Hz instead of MHz (as in vmmaker.ini).
So using monitor_dotclock 8700000 should work.
It's been a long time since I tested this option, I think I should fix it so that VMMaker and GroovyMAME use the same format.
retrorepair:
Only thing now is I have another build of MAME (non-groovymame) which is doing what the others did before changing that. Does this mean I should change the dotclock to the format you described above in the vmmaker.ini too?
As it goes, how odd that all I did was copy EVERYTHING from the other PC and used the same GFX card yet something changed?
