  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Please help me to resolve the following problem, i have Vga Ati R9 380x Nitro 4GB DUAL-X OC and i installed CRTEmudriver 2.0 beta15 crimson, on my cab with monitor 25" 15khz Hantarex Polo, i have edid emulation on hdmi and normal second monitor to dvi-vga adapter (i used for hypermarquee and hyperspin frontend) and i keep it installed only 10 modeline with vmmaker and is all ok, perfect in windows and groovymame 0.211,hyperspin and Rocketlauncher that I use, Switch to super resolution and 640x240 for other system working good, but when I return to the 640x480 desktop resolution, the 15khz monitor screen remains black, if I go to the screen settings and put another resolution like 640x240 the screen can be seen, then changing again to 640x480 to see itself again!

I have installed these modeline:

Code: [Select]
## Desktop ##

 640 x 480 @ 60.000000 desktop

## Super resolutions ##

2560 x 240 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 248 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 256 @ 60.000000 super

## Other ##

320 x 240 @ 60.000000
640 x 240 @ 60.000000
1024 x 240 @ 60.000000
1024 x 480 @ 60.000000 int
1280 x 240 @ 60.000000
1280 x 480 @ 60.000000  int

Could it be that it hooks a different resolution and is not compatible with the monitor? Type 640x480p? How can I solve it? Thanks a lot to everyone :)

Add this resolution to your mode list:

Code: [Select]
648 x 486 @ 60.000000 desktop
Then generate & install modes again, and set your desktop to use that resolution instead of 640x480.
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.

Thanks @calamity ok with 648x486 deskop, but I realized that I have the same problem with 640x240 in games and for 640x480 in TypeX and Teknoparrot games it's not just windows, no problem switch to 1024x480 or 1024 x 240 never black screen, 1024x480 it is too shaky, and if I set the ARCADEPC at 648x486 some games are slower than 640x480, before I used an ATI 8350 seen as 8300 series and no problem with the switch at 640x480 and 640x240

this is my vmm.ini

Code: [Select]
mame_exe                        C:\groovymame\mame64.exe
