Problems with GroovyMame, ArcadeVGA 3000, MakVision Tri-Mode 25”. Missing step?
Calamity:
Older Radeons (7000, 9200, 9250, etc.) also work without problems with low dot clocks, in case they are an option.

Hello again!
OK, so, I re-installed Windows, Calamity Drivers, Groovy Mame. Installed an ATI Radeon X600XT. I’m almost there (the Interlacing problem is gone) but am running into a problem of ghosting on some games. Basically, the pixels look stretched like they would on an LCD display.
Two examples: Popeye is running at 512x448 and looks ghosty. This resolution looks fine in Arcade_OSD, very sharp. SF2 looks ghosty at 384x224. This resolution isn’t even listed in Arcade_OSD to test.
I was having this problem before I started from scratch again with Ms. Pacman (288x224) and Galaga. Ms. Pacman and Galaga both look correct now.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.
I've attached a text file for Street Fighter CE.

Hi msingleton,
This is actually a problem with GM's algorithm I'll need to fix. By now, you can solve it doing this:
- Download the latest versions of VMMaker/Arcade_OSD here: http://mame.3feetunder.com/windows-ati-crt-emudriver/
- Edit vmmaker.ini and set YresMin_XML = 224 (edit the MAME paths and other required options too)
- Run vmmaker and restart
This should bring the 224-line resolutions back and everything should work as expected.

Thanks Calamity! That fixed the problem with Street Fighter 2 CE. However, I'm still getting the same problem with Popeye. What's strange is it looks great under MAME, and MAME says it's running under the same resolution (512x448). Take a look at the text here while running under GroovyMame vs Mame. Any ideas? Not sure why the same resolution would look great under MAME but poor under GroovyMame. I've also attached a popeye.txt file generated from Groovymame.

Hi msingleton1977,
Edit the monitor_specs0 option in mame.ini with this line:
monitor_specs0 15250.00-15700.00,49.50-65.00,2.000,4.700,8.000,0.064,0.192,1.024,0,0,288.0,400
That should fix it.
