No, VMMaker just uses it to get the info it needs.

No
--- Quote ---dotclock - currenty set as 0 in vmaker.. ive seen references to various numbers.. and in the .ini file theres even a reference to 7.010.... what should be used for 'generic' arcade monitors?

That depends on the card your using. It's only needed for some cards.

Hi Calamity - thanks so much for support.
im really glad u pointed out that i should not be using anything with native listed against it in arcadeosd.... i was going to do the opposite lol..
-so how do you go about linking mala to run with groovymame? off the top of my head ill link it to groovymame.exe instead of the mame.exe file.. but not sure if it will recognise the mame.ini file, or the xml file stored in mame DIR.
-with the dotclock - iam using ati x300 currently... does this need to be adjusted?
At the moment - my approach is going through the groovy mame setup using my LCD screen.. once i get mala linked with groovy mame.. i will ditch the lcd and run via jpac into the arcade monitor..
Thanks again.

I think your fear comes from the fact that you still have picture in your LCD which means it's not outputting 15KHz. Does it go out of sync when you select 640x480@60i using button "1"?

havent tried yet for fear of mucking things up... ill try the 640x480 @ 60i tonight.. and make sure its not a 'native' selection with 15khz ... im expecting it to be fuzzy looking on the lcd but ok on the arcade machine...
Would you recommend using either the 6.5 or 9.3 crtemu driver for xp32bit? iam running xp service pack 2

No idea on how to setup MALA, sorry :(
It should be fine to rename GM's exe to whatever MALA will be happy with (i.e. mame.exe)

The x300 works great with low dotclocks, so leave that as 0.

So you have a J-PAC? Then there's no reason to be worried.
The problem with LCDs if that ATI drivers often ignore custom modeline settings when working with this type of monitors, and just re-cook the modeline info to something within the 31 KHz range, so setting 640x480@60i may result in a normal 31 KHz signal if you keep your LCD plugged. That's why it's better to use an old CRT PC monitor during the process.
Even if that's the case, just active the 640x480@60i and enter the menu to set it as your desktop resolution. Then reboot the machine with the arcade monitor plugged via J-PAC (15 KHz should be ready after the machine is rebooted with the right monitor).

Thanks for confirming that..
i THINK ive managed to set mala up with groovymame.. (might have to post another thread to confirm im doing this right)...
ive tested some games.. and when trying to load NBA Jam.. its continuously scrolling (like from top to bottom)... any idea with this one?
also some vertical games (eg raiden) are squashed in the centre... not sure what this indicates?
