Pac-Man mode used by GroovyArcade

[big10p]

Hi

Can someone running GroovyArcade on a 15KHz monitor please let me know what video mode it's using (displayed in Game Information)? It's an interlaced mode so on my monitor (which hates interlacing) it jiggles up/down so badly - and the text is so small - I can't read it.

Cheers

I think you'll see this if you run in verbose mode.

e.g.

groovymame -v pacman > /tmp/pacman.txt


I have a WG D9200 but I set monitor type in mame.ini to arcade_15 and this is what I see in my log file:


[arcade@GroovyArcade ~]$ grep SwitchRes /tmp/pacman.txt

Hope this is helpful.

That was actually a regression bug that's been fixed since SwitchRes 0.015g (pacman now picks a progressive 288-line mode, as it used to do). Download one of the recent builds.

Thanks!
