Hi,

When I start GroovyMame I get the message: Switchres: Failed opening etc.

I just use Groovymame without other untilities in my ArcadeVga 3000. What could it be?

Thanks for help!

Calamity:
It's because your double-clicking on the executable instead of launching it from command-line or a frontend.

Thanks! That helped!

Now almost everything runs fine, except that on my horizontal Polostar monitor Pacman, Galaga etc. have a screen where the top and bottom are cut off. I do not use ini's. I just run GroovyMame on my AVGA3000 with old Mamewah frontend. What can I to to get the correct screens?

TJCOMBO:
Pacman, Galaga are all vertical games made for a rotated 19" CGA monitor.  In their native resolutions, you will have to live with the cutoffs on the top and bottom on your 25" horizontal OR adjust the v size on your monitor (which can get annoying if you are switching from vert to horizontal games).

eewoke:
Thanks! Is it possible to play only those games in 640x480?

Also, I have put in the Monitor spec of the Polostar. Do I have to choose Custom for monitor, or something else?
