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

You should be able to enable soundsync to get 100% on pacman.  It will slow the game down slightly to match the refresh rate.  The sound will also pitch down slightly, but it's not really that noticeable unless someone points it out.

I hope that someday, someone figures out how to digitally pitch the audio back up so that it sounds the same while soundsync is enabled.  There used to be a homegrown plugin for winamp built by one guy that did real-time pitch shifting, so it can't be *that* hard.

Update:
When I ran the mame.exe alone the resolutions were off again.

For some reason the monitor d9200 setting in MAME.ini was being ignored.

Starting with a fresh MAME.ini (mame -cc) I changed the cga to "d9200" with a capital D and it works.Everything else is default.

Then I only had to set syncrefresh to 0 in vertical.ini to force all vertical games to 100%.

The "-m 4" command line is equivalent to the "monitor d9200" setting in MAME.ini,
so while I was testing everything seemed fine even with the incorrect "D9200" setting in MAME.ini.

The sound seems okay but I haven't played a lot yet. I remember the soundsync option from CabMAME.
I prefer the change in pitch over choppy sound.

Thanks again for your help.


EDIT: Set syncrefresh to 0 in vertical.ini to force all vertical games to 100%

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!

I went with the X600 but I did save a log for matmainia with the ArcadeVGA setup.

It chose 240x240 for mat mania (avga_matmania_bad_240x240_not_400x256.txt)
I set -r 400x256 from the command line (avga_matmania_manual_400x256.txt)

Everything works perfect with the X600 and I have not found a game that does not look correct.

Not having to use INI files to set resolutions anymore is very nice.

Thanks for your help and for GroovyMAME.

Hi dgame,

Thanks a lot for your logs, they will be of help for preparing the new release.

I have a similar setup as you and was wondering if there is a thread or doc you could point me to that would help me get groovymame configured.  Here is my current setup:

Win XP Pro x64
ATI X600 XT
crt_emudriver_9.3_1.2a_x64_multisync driver
D9200 Monitor

I've already downloaded the mame source, applied the patches and built mame but now I'm not sure what to do next :-)

What config files do I need to create/edit ?
How do I create modlines or do I even need to ?
