GroovyMame and Vision Pro LCD
kalars123:
The monitor more than likely normalizes whatever signal you input to ~60hz, thus it is not suitable for use with groovy mame. Since it will not display anything other than ~60hz you will gain no benefit from using groovy mame. Groovy mame is programmed to be used exclusively with arcade CRT's. If you still want to try and play mame at the correct refresh rates I have found both of these models to be suitable for use with Groovymame+powerstrip. Viewsonic Va2223wm and Asus VH222h you can get either one starting at around $160.

Thanks for the info but the 2 monitors you suggest are both widescreen which takes me even further away from original.

I have figured out a little more on the trouble I had earlier. my monitor (dell 2007fp) can only do 60-61 hz max when the resolution is set to 1600x1200. When I ran a game that pushed it above that my screen turned off and when I launched powerstrip it would go off again because it was remembering what the last game had set it to. To fix this problem I lowered the res, ran powerstrip, and removed the custom resolution in there. Last I edited the mame.ini monitor spec to max at 61 and put the resolution back to 1600x1200 and now I think I am ok. I think the lcd can do between 56 and 61 from my testing although it might be normalizing it to 60hz.

I have the HP LP2065 so I will run similar tests once I get it going. Its specs claim 48-85Hz vertical (but only if the pixel clock is <162 MHz when connected via DVI) with 75Hz at 1600x1200 (if connected via VGA--through DVI it's 60Hz). Of course, it might normalize--we will see.
