If you don't use the Switchres wrapper then whatever MAME build (but GroovyMAME) will pick the default modelines installed in the system without recalculating them. This can be enough for some games, depending on the mode list you created. For best results, try creating ini files using vmmaker, this is the only way to make sure that regular MAME will pick the best modeline.

But if the problem is only with a few games, then you'd better make the required ini files manually and leave vmmaker alone.

kbuzz:
Thank you for the quick reply. I've tried using switchres as a wrapper for shmupmame 3.0b, and am getting this result. I've already run vmmaker

How are you exactly running this? Is switchres.exe and the other files in the same folder where the MAME executable is? What's the name of the MAME executable (should be mame.exe)? Is that what you get for all games or just for that one?

kbuzz:
I'm running from command line right now. It's all in the same folder. The MAME executable is renamed to mame.exe (from mame32p.exe), and this is the result for all games.
