Groovymame + Powerstrip + Vmmaker Configuration

[Sanctity]

**EDIT: I am going to move this thread over to the GroovyMame forum but any help here will still be appreaicted!**

Hello All!

This is my first post ever and it may be a topic already beaten down into the ground so hang with me on this! I had put my MAME cab project aside for quite some time and woke up one morning about a month ago as if I had some epiphany and here I am ready to configure my PC up and shock this beast alive... but I am going to need some guidance through this process and what better place to start than here! I have searched the net and come across many forum posts all over but I just have not been able to really find what I am looking for and most of the information that I do find sounds like complete Chinese to me (consider me a noob at this kind of thing), so I am probably going to need somebody to explain all of this in idiot terms (just don't be too harsh!). 

Here is the complete setup:

• Dual core PC running Windows XP 32 bit SP3 (fresh install)
• ATI Radeon X600XT graphics card (with Calamity's CRT_Emudriver 9.3 1.2a already installed)
• GroovyMAME 0.148u2 Windows 32bit
• VideoModeMaker and ArcadeOSD
• Powerstrip
• Vision Pro 19" arcade LCD (http://na.suzohapp.com/monitors/49260310.htm)

I have everything installed but I just need some help fine tuning everything and getting everything to interact together like they should. I have a general idea on how to use VideoModeMaker already, and I am using MALA as a front end right now just until I get everything configured up and then I will switch to Hyperspin but at this moment I am just focused on getting Powerstrip, GroovyMAME, Vmmaker, and my LCD to work together as intended. I also am able to use MAME no problems so my issues are purely configuration oriented. I have found other posts regarding the same exact monitor and setup that I am using but it still seems kind of gargled to me and I am still left scratching my head so hopefully somebody can help me with this setup! Pretty much I am going to need to know what my MAME.ini and vmmaker.ini should look like as well as my Powerstrip settings. I installed Powerstrip but what exactly I am supposed to do with it is foreign to me and I am assuming that it plays a vital role in getting my resolutions right for MAME.

I know that I am not going to get the most perfect native resolutions with this LCD but I do want to get as close as I can with a sharp picture that doesn't look all stretched or fuzzy, and I am hoping you experts out there can shine some light on all of this for me. Thank you greatly in advance of all of your help! I am not going to attach any ini's or any other details to this first post but rather I will attach any items as they are requested. Please help me get my machine configured so I can enjoy this awesome piece of furniture in the living room!! If you need any further details or information just let me know!

Thanks again!
