Hate to be That Guy, but I was wondering if there are any general guides for first-time users that I should be looking at when setting this up? Most of what I'm finding is anywhere between 5-10 years old, so I don't know how relevant they still are or if they apply to my use case.
In short, I picked up an old (~12 years) Windows PC and a run-of-the-mill 31khz VGA PC monitor and was thinking of using it as a MAME box. I was recommended to give GroovyMAME a shot for CRT-specific features. Not looking for anything that is too exotic. Mostly just a combination of (1) run games at native res if possible, line-doubled or otherwise scaled to nearest compatible res if not, and (2) run games at native refresh rate instead of being locked to 60hz or whatever.
I know my way around vanilla MAME a bit and am willing (eager) to tinker, but I'm not even sure exactly what I should be downloading in the first place. Took a look at the CRT Emudriver downloads and saw a list of different releases for different video cards and don't even know if any of them are applicable to the integrated graphics on this particular PC.
Substring:
31kHz CRT can't play the original 15kHz resolutions, so you'll play with doubled lines, yes. When using groovymame, make sure to set the right monitor in the mame.ini. Shouldn't require much more unles you want BFI, shaders or other fance stuff to try to get sausage-big scanlines like on a 15kHz

So what did you find out? Are there still glitches on stuff like Dragoon Might, Dadandarn, Violent Storm, or the GX games?
