Hello,
I can't find the right setting with my Sony PVM 14M2U monitor.
I have tried various configurations, but the screen is never aligned correctly.

Currently used:

• Raspberry Pi 3b
• Recalbox 18.07.13
• Gert-VGA VGA666 Adapter Board
• VGA Male to BNC Male Adapter (5 BNC. 3 RGB + 2 sync H / V)

This is the configuration in the "config.txt" file:

disable_splash=1
disable_overscan=1
gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=512
avoid_safe_mode=1
kernel=zImage
overscan_scale=0
disable_audio_dither=1
dtparam=audio=on
dtoverlay=vga666
enable_dpi_lcd=1
display_default_lcd=1
dpi_group=2
dpi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=320 1 16 30 34 240 1 2 3 22 0 0 0 60 0 6400000 1 
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87

I believe that the problem is of the "hdmi_timings" line, in fact even with other values taken from the web, I always get unsatisfactory results. But isn't there any way to put the correct values based on my monitor?

Thx!

Hello,
this below is a table made by me with the games that I currently have installed on my Recalbox 6.1 and that I use with the AdvanceMame emulator to take advantage of games that use lasergun, trackball, spinner and vector graphics.
As you can see in the second column "Recalbox v18.07.13", most of the roms worked correctly and without any particular problems. I noticed the first slowdowns from the 6.0 version of Recalbox and continue to be there also in the Recalbox 6.1 (column 3).

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!

@paradadf Sorry for the delay. Thanks a lot

@paradadf Thanks,
as soon as I have some time, I'll see if I can set up at least one mame2003plus game using two spinners (hoping to succeed).

However, the intent of my post was also to make people understand what happened on the latest version of Recalbox. I don't know if you can tell the developers. As I repeat, there is no hurry, as long as it is made present.

Thanks!

Good evening,
I was able to find and install again the old version of Recalbox v18.07.13, on the same 32 GB microSD where I had previously installed the Recalbox v6.1. I again formatted and reset the partition with the programs mentioned above.
I tried some games, from the table above, that with the Recalbox v6.1 gave the aforementioned slowdown problems. Instead with the v18.07.13 it has behaved very well.

The games have been started, as always, using the AdvanceMame emulator:

• Outrun
• Arkanoid Returns
• Championship Sprint
• Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat
• Dragon Gun

@jorgemagana I don't use mame2003 because as specified, for most of these ROMS I use 2 spinner. with mame2003 I never managed to make it work, while with advancemame it is very simple.

@glook yes also for this use advancemame.

Maybe they inadvertently did something that slowed Advancemame in some way. Before I used these ROMS without any problems.

Then I installed Recalbox 6.1 on a new micro SD (unfortunately I only have a 32 GB memory).
First I performed a complete formatting using the software:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/index.html

Then as recommended by some guide, I started guiformat.exe completely deleted any remaining partitions:

So I uploaded the image on the microSD, started the system, connected to the Wifi, copied the ROMS for Advancemame and this is the result. Still slowdowns and audio problems.

@gkm Hello,
so you too, the Outrun roms gives you problems of slowing down. It is already something and I feel relieved (at least it's not just my problem).
It would be great if I could try another one of the ROMS listed above.

But I also wanted to do another test. Install the Recalbox 6.1 on an 8 GB microSD card (I currently use a 64 GB microSD card), and try out the Outrun roms for example. Then install Recalbox 18.07.13 (hoping to find the image of the OS somewhere) on another microSD and try to start Outrun. Always using the AdvanceMame emulator. And let's see a little ...

Hello,
would it be possible to create a script in order to read the scores saved by the mame / neogeo and create a screen in the frontend for viewing?

Thx!
