Do I tick these boxes during emudriver setup...?
« on: November 12, 2024, 03:26:14 am »
Simple question: Do I enter the Mame file path and tick these two boxes during emudriver setup (see attached image)? Thanks.

- Mame file path: recommended
- Export monitor settings to GroovyMAME: recommended
- Get video modes from MAME XML: no
- Generate XML from MAME executable: no

If you use super resolutions then it's wrong because video modes in mame xml won't be very relevant. It's ok if you are still in XP though.
