Hello,

When launching any game using 0.217 configured for "-monitor ms2930" using Window 10 x64 with an ArcadeVGA card, Switchres is unable to find any usable video modes. Attached is the verbose tmnt execution log. The games launch, but after groovymame defaults back to the non switchres mode. I searched the forum and the solutions mentioned for similar issues did not apply to my configuration. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Calamity

Hi aupton,

In mame.ini, set:

Code: [Select]
lock_system_modes 0
Try again with that and I you still have issues post back.
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.
