: : Is there a limit on how many modelines can be saved in mame.cfg with mv.exe? I was playing with some of the VsyncMAME modelines that you included in your last release and mv.exe would only save about 25 of them. Same thing happens when I put a bunch of modelines in the mame.cfg file myself.
: The limit high. Something like 128 or 256. The problem may be some modelines with the same ID number.
: For example:
: modeline10 = test1 ...
: modeline10 = test2 ...
: modeline11 = test3 ...
: In this case the modeline test2 isn't used beacuse the ID 10 is already present.
: When you insert manually one modeline you must eventually change the ID if it's already present.
Thanks, I'll try to cleanup my modelines a bit better than I have already. My modeline numbering didn't use any repeated numbers but I had some modelines duplicated...not numbered the same but the modes themself were repeats of other modelines.
One other thing, do the modelines have to be in any particular order? I see the general trend looks to be high resolution down to low resolutions but that doesn't look to be followed strictly.
