Archived from groups: alt>games>mame, others (more info?)

Hi,

I've got a 19" veritcal arcade monitor that I recently installed a cap
kit on. The chassis is a wells gardner 4600 and the tube is a rauland
(zenith). My problem is that when I pull up a game in mame, I'll get a
split screen effect. The picture on the monitor will be split into 3
columns, each about 5-6 inches wide. The full game image will be
squished and mirrored in the outer 2 columns while the middle column is
just blank. I've tried adjusting all the little knobs and dials, but I
can't get the picture to become one and fill the screen. Any
suggestions on what to do?

Thanks,
Scott

More info....

With a normal pc monitor, the picture looks fine. I'm also using
ArcadeOS as my frontend and the menu system looks fine, it's only when
I actually go into the game that it's messed up.

Thanks,
Scott

it definately seems like a monitor setting. It thinks that you are
sending the signal to a VGA monitor still which has triple the scan
rate making it look triple, for more information check the
alt.game.mame newgroup..

I had ArcadeOS running for a while but I hated it, Way to much stuff to
configure for me, it did look great when done but I opted for the use of the
Acrade VGA card from Ultimarc and MAMEWAH for my frontend. This combo was a
Breeze to set up and it looks IMO better than ArcadeOS. The only thing to
remember is that if you choose the ArcadeVGA card is that the voltage from
the card is less than the monitor likes (sometimes) so you could get a dark
but usable screen. There as also an adaptor for this on the site to correct
this. I have mine running a 25" Neo-Tec monitor Win XP 64 meg ArcadeVGA 2
120 gig HHD's AMD 2200+ with 512 meg ram Works great on almost every game in
mame.

I checked all the settings in ArcadeOS and Mame and it should all be
set up for my monitor. I'm going to recheck all the solder connections
for the riser cards, maybe I missed something else in the configs..I'll
keep checking.
