Games locking up with magic resolutions

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hi Calamity,

I changed it from magic to dynamic and when I ran vmmaker it now says 120 modelines. I rebooted and tested DonPachi again from the command line but the screen goes black and I can hear the game sound running much faster then normal speed and I can't exit the game (need to hard reset)

Attached is the log from running ume.exe d:\roms\donpachi.zip -v -md 4 >donpachi.txt

I am using the following:
i5 cpu
4GB ram
x300 series GPU (Calamity 6.5 drivers)
Namao MS8 Monitor
JPAC with jumper on 15hz & 30hz (which is default)

Calamity:
That's interesting. Try the same game with the -nomultithreading param.

Also, launch Arcade_OSD and try the resolution 688x512@58, just in case.

blontic:
Hi Calamity, I tried using -nomultithreading but I get the black screen again and it locks the PC. I can few it fine with Arcade_OSD in horizontal but couldn't work out how to test it vertical, any ideas?

Thanks again.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but I have a very similar issue as the OP (donpachi as well, vert on a horizontal).

If I run: mame donpachi, I can get the game to run but it looks crazy ugly as I'm assuming it is virtualizing and stretching the screen to fit my monitor.

If I run: mame donpachi -cleanstretch, I get like the OP and get a black screen, but i can put coins in and hear the sound.

If I run: mame donpachi -noswitchres -triplebuffer -mt, It runs clear and clean at 100%. with black bars on the side as I am playing vert on a horizontal.

Using hyperspin as my frontend, I have setup another wheel for my vert shmups (with the different command line changes) but would rather have all my games under the mame wheel. It feels like the magic resolutions are scaling when it doesn't need to? Am I wrong about this?

Settings:
groovy mame 146
ati4800 with soft15khz for 15khz and 24khz res installed
Nanao ms9-29 with proper mon settings in the .ini (taken from this forum)

I've attached my logs.

Just an updated from me. I took out my x300 and used Guru3Ds Driver sweeper to remove all drivers. I then put in a HD4870 and used magic res and D3D in my mame.ini

I can now run all games fine through groovymame. Not sure what the issue was. Maybe something with the drivers or with my x300.

I'll keep the HD4870 in as I am now also using it for SSF4.

Thanks.
