Lerxt2112 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Hello guys, I was hoping somebody can give some guidance solving a video issue. I recently had to move all of my arcade emulators, roms, etc to a new PC. When I load an arcade game in Launchbox (using mame) I get a horizontal “stripe” that goes from bottom to the top of my screen over and over. It starts as soon as the game starts. Display looks perfect all of the rest of the time. I’m wondering if their is a setting I had changed before and I’m just not remembering. Thanks for any advice.

Headrush69 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) A picture would help. Are these lines completely horizontal or diagonal? If artwork is missing in MAME that a layout requests, you can get an effect similar to what you describe. As a test you can go into your MAME folder -> artwork folder (or where ever you have it set in mame.ini), rename the .zip or folder for the game you are trying. Run that same game again.

Retro808 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 If your talking about a single stripe that starts at the bottom and rolls its way up the screen try changing your video setting in Mame. It can be set to options like auto, opengl, and so on. Change to something other than what it is and test. Quote
Lerxt2112 Posted February 1, 2020 Author Posted February 1, 2020 Hey Retro, thanks for the reply. Changing the video setting in Mame didn’t change anything. One thing I’ve noticed that when the game is initially started it gets a little brighter just as the rolling horizontal band starts on the screen. Quote

I get that exact thing on one of my cabinets and had to switch the video driver. I am not at home to check what I set it to. Quote
