  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Hello,

I am having a weird issue, for some strange reason I cannot run any Vector games (see pictures below) looks like Switchres is not finding the correct video mod.
I'm using an Nvidia 6600 + Soft-15k running under Forceware 78.1 connected to a TV via Transcoder . All other games are running perfectly, is just the Vector games that are not working. I've tried Groovymane with the same results.. Any ideas?

I tried a different video card ATI 9600XT and now it works... so I guess the Nvidia 6600 can't hack it.

Some NVidia cards cannot make correctly interlaced resolutions. By default groovymame tries to pick the biggest possible in this case it was probably 640x480@60i or tries calculate 640x480@49,5i
