Out of signal

[rygars#1#fan]

Can someone advise me as to what this means(OUT OF SIGNAL).

It appears at certain times during the screensaver running or if i choose certain games to play,eg-Tekken3 etc.When it appears no picture is displayed at all.

I have an Wells Gardner 27" monitor installed,before that i was just using a computer monitor and it never happened with it.Is there a setting or something to relieve this problem.

Thanks.

sounds like the screen cant handle the resolution your PC is putting out.

This is a digital arcade monitor which handles all resolutions.It plugs directly into my VGA port on the computer and displays resolutions up to 38.0KHZ,WHICH DOSNT EXPLAIN WHY IT IS DOING IT.(IN SHORT THE DISPLAY NOW ACTS LIKE AN ORIGINAL ARCADE MONITOR)replicating the original picture without having any special sort of video card.

Currently it is set at 800*600 in arcade mode within GameEx.

Hopefully this extra info will help out.

Thanks again.

I dont think its just arcade monitor thing, I get the same thing on my XGA projector, and some games wont sync on my PC TFT monitor. Its just certain resolutions with certain refresh rates different monitors cant handle. There should be a workaround by only using certain resolutions with certain rates in MAME, not sure the best wat to go about doing that though.

Thanks,i have tried a few different settings within mame itself but to no advantage.Guess i will just put up with it.Ta
