Strange issue with GroovyMame v.146
mamenewb100:
Well ArcadePerfect is not working at this moment.. that's another issue. The program claims it cannot find my card when it is listed in windows. It didn't do that when I first installed it and I didn't change anything that would cause it to not work.
I can try Arcade_OSD as I haven't used it before.
My monitor is set at 60 Hz so it would make sense that games not running near 60 Hz are having sync issues. If I disable -syncrefresh in Mame.ini then there is tearing. So I'm assuming that is supposed to be on.
Calamity:
Wait a minute, are you sure the resolution is actually switching?
Try launching it like this:
groovymame mk3 -nomodeline -resolution 400x256
mamenewb100:
Wow. I used that command and now the command line reports after exit:
Target refresh = 54.8
Average speed = 397.89%
The speed varied from 300 to 400 percent. I don't actually hear the monitor changing resolutions like I do for some other games but it seems to look decent. Also isn't that 31 Khz monitors can't get much below 640x480 and need to scale the images up from 320x240 for example?
mamenewb100:
Also I'd like to add that it always says "SwitchRes: Failed opening DefaultVideo registry" in command line. I'm assuming that means it can't find a perfect match and doesn't fit the profile of standard AVGA resolutions. I can hear the monitor changing on some games, others are silent.
You've been a great help so far and don't mean to keep you here all day. I'm just stumped.
Calamity:
Oh damned! I didn't notice it was a 31 kHz monitor, that explains everything.
Well, I don't know exactly what the AVGA3000 does with 31 kHz monitors. Your monitor_specs in mame.ini should reflect that too, now you've got it set as cga. Anyway, that bad refresh with this particular game won't get corrected by just doing this. You're best chances are getting ArcadePerfect to work.
