Are 48XX video cards compatible with GroovyMAME/GroovyArcade
« on: March 30, 2014, 03:34:20 pm »
Hello everyone,

I'm posting this on the behalf of a contact on another forum where he's been struggling for weeks to get his video cards to work with GroovyMAME.

He has a lot of issues on Windows, that's why I told him to check with GrooyArcade. He got GroovyArcade to run in 15Khz with an old Radeon, but with his newer cards (HD4800 Sapphire and 4850 Gygabite) the display is in 31Khz.

So, are these cards supported? And if yes, what to do to make it so?

Thanks a lot in advance. :)

Hi Cucurbitacée,

Yes, 48xx cards are supported. However, high-end cards usually come with 2 dvi connectors. The tricky part is finding out which connector is supposed to be the primary. A 31 kHz output probably means he's using the wrong output.
Important note: posts reporting GM issues without a log will be IGNORED.
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.

That's it! He was able to get the right signal by switching the outputs. Thanks a lot for your support. :applaud:
