Help with Hantarex Polo/2 Star

(1/3) > >>

cloaknite:
Hi there! I'm new on this subject of the arcade cabinets and I would like some help if it's possible :) My cabinet has a Hantarex Polo/2 28 Star monitor and I bough J-Pac, everything is connected and despite the scrambled image on windows when I enter groovymame it gets stable, only with some weird colors. I choose a game and the picture is a little chopped and out of screen, every game as a different setting! How can I solve this? I'm really newbie on these sort of things  ;D

My VGA is ATI Radeon X1650Pro, I installed the crt emudrivers 9.3, executed groovymame with -cc and then I executed VMMaker, what is the next step?

Btw, how can I fix the picture with windows or with a frontend like hyperspin?

Thank you very much for your patience!

Hi again, I managed to get the picture working on windows with ArcadeOSD but only one of the resolutions worked, it was 664x496, all the others were scrambled :-\ Is this normal? I couldn't fix the chopped picture yet, I think it has to do with the monitor setting, can someone help me in that field?

Here are some pictures of my progress  ;D

Hi cloacknite,

I have a doubt, is your monitor a Hantarex Polo/2 Star (Polostar, 15-25-31) or just a Polo/2 15-25?

For the Polostar, we have already the "pstar" preset.

Hi calamity, thanks for your answer, I think my monitor is a polo/2 star as you can see in this photo I took: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rcjv2q363fa3swa/IMAG1307.jpg
I've edited mame.ini and set the preset to pstar, when I open the emulator everything seems right but some games are chopped. When I run vmmaker it only gives me 1 modeline, I have all my roms in the roms folder and the preset on the vmmaker.ini is set to generic. By the way, there are some black stripes across the image on the left side, could it be some malfunction of the monitor?

Thank you very much!

Hi cloacknite,

I believe the "Star" should be tri-sync, but please make sure this is so, because my Hantarex Polostar manual doesn't list any Polo/2 28", only 25" - 29".

By the way, that monitor allows direct VGA input, it probably will give you a better quality than the RGB. Just make sure you set the impedance right with the correspoding jumper.

If VMMaker just gives you 1 modeline, you're not probably using it right, edit VMMaker to point to your MAME executable, etc.
