VMMaker Monitor Type
« on: October 18, 2014, 04:08:16 pm »
Hey guys, just wondering what the best MonitorType to set in VMMaker.ini is given my particular monitor/chassis.

I have the Wei Ya M3129 Tri sync but am only using it for 31khz.

I currently have MonitorType in VMMaker set to VGA which is working so far (from what I can tell!).

However on cools' guide he uses CUSTOM with the following spec:
monitor_specs0 31400-31500, 49.50-65.00, 0.940, 3.770, 1.890, 0.349, 0.064, 1.017, 0, 0, 512, 800

I also notice that the 3129 has a preset in groovymame. Should I be converting the crt_range2 to vmmker format to get the best 31k for my monitor?

All advice appreciated.

 // Wei-Ya M3129

      crt_range0  15250-16500, 40-80, 2.187, 4.688, 6.719, 0.190, 0.191, 1.018, 1, 1, 192, 288, 448, 576
      crt_range1  23900-24420, 40-80, 2.910, 3.000, 4.440, 0.451, 0.164, 1.048, 1, 1, 384, 400, 0, 0
      crt_range2  31000-32000, 40-80, 0.636, 3.813, 1.906, 0.318, 0.064, 1.048, 1, 1, 400, 512, 0, 0

Use Cools' specs. It could make sense to port the GM ranges if you were going to use the three ranges (not the case).
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.

Mine is simply arcade_31 ported. Works great with that monitor.
