I have also tried retroarch front end and every emulator runs like shit compared to the hardware and games are not running at their native res. They are instead running at the desktop resolution VMMaker set for the PVM
Im at a fucking loss. Seriously at a fucking loss
how has no one compiled GroovyMAME with HyperSpin and huge collection of badass games and fucking made a torrent of that shit?
I really need help
the charm is almost gone

Bump. This is nearly and /or precisely the thing I'm concerned about that's holding me back from jumping into my mame cab conversion depending on how I decide to do it. Very curious how your work turns out.

You're obviously new to this so go back to the beginning and check/test at each step. There's no way to tell where you went wrong without a lot more detail.

Ive done these steps over and over again
Set up VMMaker, set up the CRTEMudriver, setup GroovyMAME and switchres throws an error
I was just giving thorough detail and you say its a blog naw

>I've been doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
Well there's yer problem
>not a blog
Thorough detail would be useful shit like the modes available and what you've tried.

I tried Generic_15 and Arcade_15
those are the two that work for the monitor
The problem is GroovyMAME and Switch Res and it not fullscreening in Windows 10
(the CRT_EmuDriver has a Win10 ver.)

I went the same route with my mame cab.
Couldn't get games to run at their native res. I followed the crtemudriver method to a tee. Believe me, I replicated every step and double checked everything. In the end I couldn't get games to run in their native res.
The whole setup is just too convoluted. In the end I just gave up because having to deal with MAME as well (which is an even bigger nightmare) was just too much of a headache.

Its just weird. I cannot get past GroovyMAME and switch res stating it cannot find a resolution supported by my system and all games run at 640 x 480 in a window so i dont get proper game res like it should
