Updating my cabinet, need advice

<< < (2/3) > >>

Clavius:
Hi guys, thanks for the replies.  I think we are getting a bit off track -- if possible I'd like to stick to the specifics I outlined in my original post.  I have no problem getting MAME to run games, what I'm trying to do is get the games to play without frame sync hiccups due to refresh rate mismatches (i.e. 60Hz game running at 59.9Hz means I get one frame skip each second).

Paigeoliver, what video card and monitor are you using? Are you getting perfect sync? No frame skips?

All the details are in the original post.  Apologies if I'm being obtuse, or if my original post isn't clear.  Let me know and I'll reword it! :)

paigeoliver:
I am running a Wells Gardner D9200 monitor and an AGP Radeon card that is at least 6 years old.

Clavius:
Okay, I thought I'd give a quick update.  I've tried both older versions (0.89) and newer versions (0.148), and pretty much every configuration possible in the video settings.  I simply cannot get the games to play without refresh sync issues.

I'm tearing my hair out over here, and I'm getting ready to take a sledgehammer to my cabinet.  I need someone to take a look at my original post and tell me what I need to replace to make this work, as I've done all I can on my own.  :banghead:

Try CabMAME: http://community.arcadeinfo.de/showthread.php?9555-ENGLISH-Overview

I used it when I had the ArcadeVGA installed. You have to configure the INIs with a program like Avres found under the Auto-Resolution Utilties section here: http://www.ultimarc.com/avgainst.html

I switched to an ATI X600 video card to use GroovyMAME as once configured it gets the resolution correct without using individual INI files.

While they accomplish similar things the ArcadeVGA limits the amount of resolutions available to GroovyMAME compared to using a supported normal ATI video card with the CRT_EmuDriver.

So to answer your question first try CabMAME with your existing hardware.

If you are not satisfied get a video card that is compatible with the CRT_EmuDriver http://mame.3feetunder.com/windows-ati-crt-emudriver/ and
Try GroovyMAME again http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,128879.0.html

.........if this is happening on all games, make sure your video settings are like in the image below. Make sure scanlines are unchecked and set to none, as well as D3D disabled.

If not happening on all games, which ones?  And what video modes are those set for?
