Games locking up with magic resolutions

(1/3) > >>

blontic:
When I specify these MS9 setting in my ini file for my MS8 chassis I find I can't run any vertical games. If I just leave in the default values that come with vmmaker (1.3c version) I can run older vertical games but no new vertical games (cave etc).

New games the screen is black and I can hear the game sound running at 200% speed. Locks up my whole PC and I have to do a hard reset.

Does anyone use a MS8?

Hi blontic, I think that problem is not related to the MS8 settings but to something else. Are you using magic resolutions? If so, what's your video card model? Are you using ddraw? Try d3d instead.

blontic:
Thanks for the reply. I am using magic resolutions with ddraw. My card is a x300 series so I thought it wouldn't support d3d.

I will give it a shot. Thanks.

I changed it to d3d in my mame.ini but DonPachi still doesn't work, I also tried Street Fighter 2 and it kept locking up after playing for a min. I changed it back to ddraw and SF2 was fine again.

Not sure what is going on. Should I be able to run these games with magic resolutions?

Calamity:
I decided to split this topic for clarity.

There's something odd going on. First I would discard it's magic resolutions related. So create a classic 'dynamic' mode table with vmmaker and try those games again. Keep total modes to 120, Hyperspin won't start - in case you're using it - that's normal, use command line for the tests.

Also, it's a good idea to post some logs of your problematic games here.
