Gorf issues with CGA monitor

(1/2) > >>

ahofle:
I'm getting the blank screen thing with Gorf for some reason.  I can hear the sounds and the MAME menus come up fine, but no game video.  When I've had similar problems in the past, Calamity provided a custom monitor description line that fixed the issue. Gorf does have a pretty strange resolution in MAME (204 x 320 or something) so I'm wondering if this is a similar issue?

Calamity:
Hi ahofle,

That resolution shouldn't be any problem. Please create a log of gorf in your system so I can see what's happening.

ahofle:
Thanks Calamity...log attached.

Below are my monitor settings:

I'll let Calamity provide the real analysis of your log file, but I just wanted to say that I noticed a warning about a missing directX dll file.

It's probably not related to your issue, but have you updated your DirectX files using the web installer?...

It can't hurt.

Hi ahofle,

The gorf game case is interesting. You need to enable to -artwork_crop option to make it work properly, even if no artwork for this game is present.
