Strange issue with GroovyMame v.146
Calamity:
That sounds great mamenewb100.

You don't create modelines, GroovyMAME will create them for you as they're needed. You just need to specify the right monitor settings. Getting wrong video modes in GM often means wrong monitor settings.
So did you add the line for MAKVISION 2929D to mame.ini? This line:
monitor_specs0 30000-40000, 47.00-90.00, 0.600, 2.500, 2.800, 0.032, 0.096, 0.448, 0, 0, 640, 768
note: you need to replace the existing monitor_specs0 line.
If that doesn't fix things, paste a log here of some game which doesn't display right:
groovymame romname -v -md 4 >romname.txt

That modeline you gave me didn't seem to make any difference. Problem is mostly Midway games it seems have a compressed and warped screen.
If I try to run the groovymame command it gives me "can't open display". That's because Xorg is not running from what I've been told. Haven't been able to use any commands that require use of video modes. Maybe I need to run the command in a certain directory?
The other problem is that most of the non-letter keyboard keys are mapped to the wrong keys... don't ask why. It was like that by default so > is actually not even selectable on the keyboard. Is there a way to remap keys? So sorry can't give a log until I figure out these problems.
Honestly, I don't know how I seem to run into all these odd problems.

Hi mamenewb100,
Go to gasetup and enter the System menu (not sure), change the Frontend option to LXDE, this is a windows like environment. Then go to Live CD Menu, Start Emulator/Frontend and it will launch LXDE instead of AdvMenu. From there open a terminal and you'll be able to type commands and have normal video with MAME.
As for the keyboard, probably now it's mapped to the Spanish keyboard by default, there should be a way to modify this in gasetup, not sure. You should find > pressing shift and the key just on the left of letter Z.
EDIT: The above is meant to get a log, I need to check it, your last pic seems to indicate the monitor_specs line is not being used.

Ok I got into LDE but your command with the "4" in it did not run. Also where would the text file go?
I tried the command without a space like this 4>mk.txt and it worked but couldn't find the text file.
I changed the keyboard mapping to "us" in gasetup and the correct keys work now.
Sorry for the late response. Had things to settle.
mamenewb100:
Well good news. I figured out that the monitor settings you gave me are making a difference, they just need adjusting.
I tried Galaga without the monitorspec line by misspelling on purpose and it had that warped look with slow sound. Then I tried it with the Makvision settings and it showed fullscreen with accurate sound, however the top of the screen was cut off. Also other games that were not warped before, now are.
That tells me with the right adjustments I can probably get everything going. Now I just need to look up what all the settings mean. ;)
