Thanks to anyone who can confirm this for me.

I basically want to know if for example:

mame.exe defender -tweak -scanlines

will display on the Wells Gardner U3100 (19") monitor.

It might need some extra tweaking in mame.cfg. And of course, ideally you're using the latest bets MAME 0.36 beta 6. Anything before v.0.36 won't work because the extra tweak modes weren't available.

It's a weird mode, because *technically* it's running at 31.5mhz x 120hz... HOWEVER, according to some tests on older PC monitors, they will actually still synch the display at *60hz*. And it's probably THE optimal mode for MAME. Very fast, shear-free and brighter than usual.

I'd be very curious to know how the 3100 reacts. My old NEC monitor loved it, and it's actually rated at a lower top vertical spec than the WG so...

Thanks again.
