; VideoModeMaker - Options

; ------------------------

   

; 1. MAME

; -------

; Path for Mame executable, in case we want to extract xml information from it.

    MameExe = "c:\arcade files\hyperspin\emulators\mame\mame.exe"

; Path for Mame ini folder, in case we want to create an ini file for each game.

; Important: existing ini files will be overwritten.

    IniPath = "c:\arcade files\hyperspin\emulators\mame\ini\"

; Mame options.

    ListFromXML = 1            ; Processes Mame XML and get video mode list from it

    GenerateXML = 1            ; Extracts XML from Mame (only needed once)

    OnlyListMain = 0    ; Only list resolutions for games contained in MameMain.txt

    GenerateInis = 0    ; Creates an ini file for each Mame game, in the IniPath folder

    SDLMame = 0            ; Use SDLMame specific options

; Monitor orientation

    MonitorHorizontal = 1    ; 0 = Rotating monitor: horizontal and vertical games at their native resolution

                            ;         Suitable for users that physically rotate their CRTs

                            ; 1 = Horizontal monitor: horizontal games run at their native resolution and

                            ;         vertical games are rotated to fit in horizontal monitor    

    RotatingDesktop = 0    ; Specifies if both desktop and monitor are rotated

; Aspect ratio for vertical games on horizontal monitor

;     4:3 (keeps original aspect ratio)

;     3:3 (stretches to square format)

;     3:4 (stretches to full screen)

;    h:v (custom aspect ratio)

    VerticalAspect = "4:3"

; 2. MONITOR

; ----------

; Monitor Type. Valid types: D9800, D9400, D9200, EGA, VGA, MULTI, H9110, PAL, NTSC, GENERIC, CUSTOM

    MonitorType = "GENERIC"

; Monitor CUSTOM. These values will be used if MonitorType = "CUSTOM"

;

; monitor_specs_0-6 = "HfreqMin-HfreqMax, VfreqMin,VfreqMax, HFrontPorch, HSyncPulse, HBackPorch, VfrontPorch, VSyncPulse, VBackPorch, HSyncPol, VSyncPol, ActiveLinesLimit, VirtualLinesLimit"

;

;     * HfreqMin-HfreqMax: Minimum and maximum horizontal frequency, in Hz. Defines the range of horizontal frequencies the monitor is capable to sync.

;             The higher the horizontal frequency, the higher the vertical resolution available for the same vertical refresh.

;             The higher the horizontal frequency, the higher the vertical refresh available for the same vertical resolution.

;             The higher the horizontal frequency, the lower the horizontal amplitude of active video (narrower picture).

;

;    * VFreqMin-VfreqMax: Minimum and maximum vertical frequency, in Hz, Defines the range of vertical frequencies the monitor is capable to sync.

;

;    * HFrontPorch, HSyncPulse, HBackPorch: Horizontal timing and geometry, values in µs

;

;    * VfrontPorch, VSyncPulse, VBackPorch: Vertical timing and geometry, values in ms

;

;    * HSyncPol,VSyncPol: polarities, not in use! defaults to negative.

;

;    * ActiveLinesLimit: Vertical resolutions until ActiveLinesLimit value included, are generated as progressive, regardless the possibility

;                               of obtaining the required vertical refresh value.

;

;    * VirtualLinesLimit: Vertical resolutions above ActiveLinesLimit and below VirtualLinesLimit are virtualized, that is, an interlaced resolution

;                                bigger that the native one is generated, with the right refresh, and "hardware stretch" is applied.

;                                Vertical resolutions above VirtulaLinesLimit are generated as interlaced, without any stretching.

    monitor_specs0 15625-16000, 49.50-63.00, 1.000, 8.000, 7.000, 0.064, 0.160, 1.056, 0, 0, 192, 288, 448, 576.

; Tolerance for horizontal frequency, in kHz, enables extending the range defined by [ HfreqMin, HfreqMax ]

; The resulting allowed frequency range will be [ HfreqMin - HfreqTolerance, HfreqMax + HfreqTolerance ]

    HfreqTolerance = 0.010

; 3. MODELINE GENERATOR

; ---------------------

; Total number of modelines to generate. Here are the recommended values for each driver version:

; CRT_Emudriver, based on Catalyst 6.5:    160 modes (accepts up to 200, but above 160 HyperSpin will refuse to load)

; CRT_Emudriver, based on Catalyst 9.3:    120 modes (accepts some more but above 120 you can get some blue screens)

; Regular Catalyst                        :     60 modes (won't accept any more)

    TotalModes = 120

; If enabled, only creates modes with 32 bits per pixel color depth

    Only32BPPModes = 0

; Method for mode table generation. If Mame xml is processed, that will create a lot of different video modes, so the mode table

; will be optimized keeping the most relevant ones, and dropping the rest, to keep below the TotalModes value.

;

; 0 = Static table: modelines are generated keeping their original vertical refresh. This method is intended to be used in

;         combination with ini files for each game.

;

; 1 = Dynamic table: a table of dummy modes is created using xres and yres values while ignoring vfreq. This method is intended

;         to be used in combination with Switchres or Groovymame. No ini files are required using this method (you should disable the

;         GenerateInis option).

;

; 2 = Magic table: a table of 'magic resolutions' is created, by ignoring xres and vfreq and just keeping yres. This method greatly reduces

;         the total number of modes in the list. It's only supported by GroovyMAME, and is intended as a workaround for the Hyperspin issue.

    ModeTableMethod_Custom = 0

    ModeTableMethod_XML = 2

; Minimum resolution values (these will be used instead of lower values)

    XresMin_XML = 240

    YresMin_XML = 240

    YresRound_XML = 4

    XresMin_Custom = 240

    YresMin_Custom = 160

    YresRound_Custom = 0

; Minimum dotclock value allowed by the video card, in MHz (i.e. DotClockMin = 7.010)

    DotClockMin = 8.0

; Number of iterations used by the mode generator [0,5]. The higher the number of iterations, the bigger the accuracy of the vertical

; refreshed obtained, normally at the cost of increasing the horizontal frequency strictly required.

    Iterations = 0

; Specifies if the refresh label is multiplied by 10 before rounding (experimental).

    VFreqLabelx10 = 0

; 4. DRIVER

; ---------

; Display name to use as target

    DisplayName = "\\.\DISPLAY1"

; Path for the driver folder

    DriverPath = ".\Driver\"

; If UpdateRegistry is enabled, UpdateDriver will only work if the driver version found in DriverPath matches the one installed

; in the system.

    UpdateRegistry = 1    ; Specifies if the video card registry section will be updated with the new video modes

                            ; (will only work in combination with CRT_EMUDriver).

           

    UpdateDriver = 0    ; Specifies if the driver files in DriverPath will be updated with the new video modes, for

                            ; future installations.

    AnyCatalyst = 1            ; Allows modelines to be installed for any Catalyst version. This option is experimental and

                            ; known to produce some problems.
