Yes my projector dont support 240p (but support many different refresh rates) so I try to use GroovyMAME as a linedoubler with fake scanlines (I would need a CRT projector for hardware scanlines).
Just missing the black frames (and so I need to double the refresh rate) ;).

If I try with LCD monitor preset (mame.ini), I dont have the problem with black frame set to 1, but I just have 120Hz for all games, no more custom refresh rates (lcd range set to AUTO, if I try 100-130 switchres doesnt like).

I probably use GroovyMAME too differently that I'm supposed to, I'm just sharing my results :).

ok the problem happens with Black Frame Insertion set to 1.
Set to 0, MAME will use double refresh rate (exemple metal slug 3 run at 688x512p @118.371 Hz).

But the problem is that the game is too fast now and no black frame insertion. Is it possible to fix this ?

Thanks.

thanks for your precious informations

well 240p is not supported on the projector so I avoid

I would like to use 120hz + black frame insertion because I would like to see the difference :). Doing a quick check on this website http://www.testufo.com/#test=framerates giving me interesting results with the projector @120Hz.

now using these settings
vmmaker : MULTI
mame : pc_70_120
crt_range : 100-130

still no double refresh rate :/

note : I use scanlines effect, good enough @ 480p

So back to XP64 with a Radeon x1050 and my DLP.

This projector support many different resolutions / refresh rates but I prefer not to use to low resolution and use Groovymame as a "line doubler" (so a minimum of 640x480). The problem is that I was not able to use a refresh rate higher than 60hz.

You can see some pictures here.

I will would like to use 110~120Hz and enable black frame insertion.

Here my settings :
- monitor : pc_31_120
- crt_range0 : 50-130
- video : d3d
- syncrefresh : 1

vmmaker use pc_31_120 and minimum 480 lines for custom resolutions

Any idea ?

Thanks.

ok  thanks for the infos

I think I will retry with a Radeon x600 and XP

Was doing my test on Windows 7 and HD 5450 (driver installed fine and Arcade_OSD report as CRTEmuDriver 1.2 found).
Does it mean that HD 5450 is also supported ?

Ok. As far I know, this DLP is 95 khz / 120 Hz compatible (but only for 720p) so the pc_70_120 preset should be fine ok.

Is there a know method to create "correct" presets ?

What will be the advantages if I use a Radeon card with CRT emu driver and this projector ?

Hi all,

I already have a CRT groovymame setup and I would like to compare with an LCD setup.
What would the best setup to compare ?

LCD : low lag (less than 10ms)
CPU : Intel core i7 (is more than 1 core usefull ?)
GPU : a decent GPU (I heard that Intel HD4000 is not enough for HLSL), so maybe a cheap Geforce GTX
OS : Windows XP / 7 / 8 (any performance difference ?)
GROOVYMAME OPTIONS : ??? you tell me

Thanks.
