Monitor configuration with CRT-Emudrivers & Groovymame

[jpfloyd84]

I am finally getting close to the completion of my arcade cab project and I have entered the final stage of getting my PC set up to run MAME at the best possible settings. I will be installing an ATI Radeon HD 4350 card with the CRT_Emudrivers, running Groovymame, and Hyperspin as my frontend. My PC is running Windows XP 32 and it is a fresh install and all of this will be displayed on a new Vision Pro 19" LCD monitor (http://na.suzohapp.com/monitors/49260310.htm). The monitor is a replacement for arcade CRT monitors so I am hoping to get some really good resolutions and MAME running as natively as possible after all is said and done. I am hoping for some expert guidance in setting all of this up so any input is very much appreciated! If you know of other places I can get good information please let me know, I just would like to configure everything up and enjoy all of my hard work. You can say that I am writing this post as if I know nothing about setting any of this up so step by step instructions never hurt! I have the frontend set up to go I just need MAME to work so pretty much the biggest things I will need help with are configuring my mame.ini, setting up and applying resolutions for my monitor, the configuration after I install the Emudrivers, and help with VMMaker and Arcade_OSD. Thanks ahead of time for all of your advice and help!

A small note: I will be running my monitor horizontally in case certain settings have to be configured for vertical games to display.
