Title: GroovyMame help with reinstall
Post by: kcsims on April 05, 2026, 05:28:31 pm
I am finally getting my arcade back up, having issues with a new install of windows 10 (last hard drive died)

I have everything installed, running an AMD R9 380 with a Wells Gardner D9200 display, have emudriver installed and windows is running fine on it, but having issues. First, GroovyMame will not display unless in windowed mode.

Also, I only have the D9200 hooked up and windows does show 2 displays from emudriver, but Mame will not open on the actual monitor (shows on 2nd display created during setup). I know these are lots of dumb questions and it has been a long time since I had everything working (machine has been out for quite a while now).

I'm sure I am doing something wrong, any and all help would be awesome. Please let me know if any other info is needed. I posted the output from groovy.

thanks!

First, make sure you install super resolutions with vmmaker. Check the guides (http://geedorah.com/eiusdemmodi/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=1052#p1052) for this.

Then make sure which display number points to your arcade monitor, e.g. \\.\DISPLAY1, \\.DISPLAY2, etc. That's the one mame.ini has to be configured with.

Dumb question again, I don't see anything in the .ini where it is marked //display

Also, tried to install superres and modelines were all rejected....

You're probably installing the modelines on the wrong connector.
