Assume you are using a computer? Operating system, CPU, graphics card, drivers, monitor brand, video input methods, steps you have taken to get to this point? Have you read and followed the guides (they are stickied in threads above)?

Check out my completed projects!

Hi Satchy - and sorry to step on your toes, Zeb, but lets keep to this thread if this was what your question was about? That way other people can benefit from the info.

Zeb is right - please read closely and follow the guide to the letter and report back with more precise info about your system/setup  and which step  you areup to when things went wrong, and what happened when it did. Lets keep it to the thread.

Hello and my first post and I'm really learning how to handle all of this.

i use a sony wega 29 along with a duplicated 24 wide screen lcd.

In my first configuration the games were beating the resolution similar to the game 384x224 to 384x240, now just put the resolution of 384x224 to 2560x240p or 224p which one is right after all, because it changed to this and not as it was?

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.

Please do the above, and we'll take a look.
