Groovymame 0.149 - screen filter issue.
« on: June 18, 2013, 12:44:53 pm »
Bit of a problem guys. I downloaded the new Groovymame 0.149 but for some reason when I run it the games boot up with a blurry heavily filtered fast flickery picture as if its the wrong refresh rate or something, and feels like the resolution is too high. I'm currently running Groovymame 0.147 with no issues at all and it looks perfect without me having to alter anything. What do I need to do to fix this, I'm guessing its something really simple? Btw I'm using an Astro City 15k with the CRT_Emudrivers and Jpac through Maximus arcade. I don't see an .ini file to edit



Cheers guys.

Well that's probably the issue. Did you ever create the new mame.ini file by running:

groovymame.exe -cc

Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.

Thanks for the reply Calamity ;) okay I've just done that. What do I need to change in the .ini to make it work on a 15k monitor in an Astro City? How come it used to just work by default on the old 0.47 GM but not on 0.49? I thought GM was primarily for 15k and the CRT_Emudrivers?

Cheers, I hope you can help. I'd really like to get 0.49 up and running.
Mark.

If 0.147 works, 0.149 must work too, there's nothing important that has changed since both are based on SwitchRes 014.

Please choose one of the problematic games and post a log here, I will be 100 times more efficient at providing a solution:

groovymame romname -v >romname.txt
