Strange issue with GroovyMame v.146
mamenewb100:
Hmm.. lowest it will work is 58.5 Hz in the settings but the monitor reports it at 59.8 Hz. I'm hoping it's some bug or setting that is not allowing the refresh to change. I'll be pissed if my monitor is defective that much that it can't be below 60 Hz. I'm wondering if the games that are supposed to be low Hz are actually running at 60.
It couod also be the AVGA drivers that are limiting this. I know when I installed windows the only options were basically 60Hz. However there was a 50 Hz mode that I think worked. I'm not sure.
I'll have to test.
mamenewb100:
Ok last update but this was important. I found out it is actually the horizontal frequency. I bumped it up to a minimum of 32Khz and MK looked great full screen and runs at original 54.8 Hz with noticable flicker.
Either my monitor can't handle a combo of low Hz and low Khz or the monitor settings are to blame. But I'm happy for now as it seems all my games are running despite higher than normal Khz. ;D
Now everything is perfect except the trackball not working. I'll search for help elseware on that. You were right about it being something silly.
Calamity:
It's good to hear that! Make sure to paste here your monitor_specs once you're happy with it.
As for the trackball, I'm thinking that the wiimote support in this particular build might be influencing that, don't know. Try to disable it from mame.ini if possible, just in case.

32200-40000, 47.00-90.00, 0.800, 2.900, 2.900, 0.032, 0.096, 0.648, 0, 0, 640, 768
I discovered that the last part 0,0,640,768 does nothing at all when you change it. Also the higher I set the minimum Khz, the smaller and more compressed the screen becomes. 32.200 Khz is the lowest I could run low Hz games without having issues. These settings are about as good as it gets with my apparent monitor limitations, or monitor/vid card conflict. Others may be able to run at 30 Khz just fine.
The point you brought up about disabling wiimote support sounds like a good thing to try but I don't see any mention of it in MAME.ini, except under Lightgun Mapping. I changed it to auto but nothing happened.
Calamity:
Thanks for sharing your setup.

I'd recommend you to wait till next release, in 146u4 they have ported the XINPUT patch into the official Linux source, that might help (or not).
