Starting GroovyMAME w/ ArcadeVGA3000 + Makvision

(1/2) > >>

TJCOMBO:
I have my card and Makvision monitor installed.  I have been having a few problems with the official MAME release and I want to get this running later tonight.  Sorry if this has been asked before, but do I just put my rom folder and run GroovyMAME with zero configuration and I will be good to go? 

krick:
You should be able to drop the GroovyMAME exe file in your MAME folder and go.

If you have an existing mame ini file, you should back that up and create a new ini file by running...

groovymame.exe -cc

...then you can make any changes to the new ini that you see fit.

Since the hard-coded resolutions for an ArcadeVGA 3000 cannot be changed (at least on Windows), you don't need to (and shouldn't) run VMMaker or install CRT_EmuDriver.

GroovyMAME will just do the best it can with whatever resolutions it sees reported from Windows after installing the Ultimarc ArcadeVGA driver.

I think that's it.  I'm sure someone will be along shortly to correct me if I forgot anything.

TJCOMBO:
Thanks buddy. That's what I thought from a previous thread but I wanted to ask and confirm.  I tried to test run it on a computer monitor but I got an error initialization message.  Sounds like a very simple setup and I am eager to hook up the trisync and give it a whirl tomorrow.  Ill report the results soon!

Are you by any chance using Windows 7?
