Ms. Pacman at 240x240? GroovyMAME 146u4, D9200, and ArcadeVGA 3000

(1/4) > >>

dgame:
Current Setup:
Windows XP, GroovyMAME 146u4, D9200, ArcadeVGA 3000
Fresh mame ini (-cc), Monitor type changed from cga to D9200.

When I run Ms. Pacman GroovyMAME choses –resolution 240x240 and does some kind of shrinking/scaling thing.
How do I get it to use the 224x288, 352x288, or 388x288 resolutions for mspacman?
Most 256 tall vertical games look fine, but the 288 tall vertical games are shrunken and scaled.

Thanks!

PS: I also have an ATI X600 that I tried with Calamity Drivers and VMmaker. With that setup mspacman looks fine but CPS games like SF2 were off.
Should I continue with the ArcadeVGA or switch the X600 and work on the CPS problem?

krick:
I would use the ATI x600 and worth through the SF2 issue.  I think there was another thread recently with someone that had a problem with SF2.  I'll see if I can find it.  What, exactly, was wrong with SF2 in your case?

dgame:
It finally got it to work with the ArcadeVGA. It seems the mame.ini entry for monitor is case sensitive.

I changed the monitor line from  D9200 to d9200 and it works as advertised. Very nice.

As for the X600 although it has 100+ resolutions it does not have the 392x240 I like for CPS so it chooses another resolution that is scaled.


EDIT: D9200 was the correct setting.

krick:
Hmmm.  That doesn't sound right.

You should post a GroovyMAME log for that game and attach it here so that Calamity can look at it.

groovymame.exe romname -v -md 4 > romname.txt

Calamity:
Yes, please post a log.

I'm going to do specific testing of the new patch with ArcadeVGA-like mode lists, so I'd need all possible issue reports to get everything fixed.

Thanks!
