resolution issues arcadevga/jpac
« on: February 06, 2006, 10:30:28 am »
I moved my pc to my cabinet and I believe I have all of the drivers installed correctly.  The vid card is showing correctly in device manager and I have the control panel installed with the galaga icon in the system tray.  After this was installed, everything seems to be ok.  I can see the post and it boots up normally, however the screen seems to be "pulling" to the right a bit.

Here is an example

When the screen initially loads, it looks ok but then it pulls out to the right.  You can see it adjust there.  What is this an issue with?  Do I need to adjust the monitor itself or did I mess up the installation somewhere?

The resolution is currently set to 640x480 in both windows and mamewah.  This brings me to my second issue.

I have seen lots of posts and even the ultimarc site says to set the resolution to 640x288.

If I do that I get something that looks like this.  And here is another example.  It took me forever to get windows to sit still again.  Same thing with mamewah.  Now both of them are at 640x480.  However, when I run mame I still have those same issues.  I ran the avres tool to set the resolutions but it still looks like that.  How can I fix this?


*edit - hmm, maybe this should be in software?

The first one looks like your brightness or contrast is up too high and the colours are bleeding.

The second one looks like the v-hold just needs adjusting. But the picture will most likely roll once you switch to other resolutions, so you may have to find a middle-ground for your settings.
Now in a tasty new flavour.

you are a genius.  changed those settings on the panel i had for my monitor and it looks great now.  640x288 works as well.  thanks very much.
