AdvanceMAME
« on: November 09, 2003, 09:08:04 pm »
Any ideas why the version of advmame that I compile causes the monitor to run in a different mode than the pre-compiled version advmame (with the same advmame.rc file)  ???

When I compile AdvanceMAME (both DOS/Win98 and Linux) its causing my monitor to go into a weird mode. For example playing metal slug is causing my monitor to run in a mode with Hsync=17.0khz and Vsync=70hz. When my monitor runs in this mode the screen is jittery. When I play metal slug using the pre-compiled binaries it runs at Hsync=16.4 khz and Vsync=67hz. In both cases I'm using the exact same advmame.rc file.

My hardware setup is:
Athlon XP 2000+
1GIG RAM
Trident Blade T64 Video Card
WG D9200 monitor

Here are the device_video settings from my advmame.rc file:
device_video_pclock 5-90
device_video_hclock 15.75-16.5, 25, 31.5
device_video_vclock 51-90
