ultimate mortal kombat 3 resolution problem

[Creeper]

I've just recently hooked up a Wells Gardner D9800 up to my PC with an ArcadeVGA card. I've disabled hardware stretch and enabled directdraw to get the pixel to pixel mapping. It looks brilliant. I've also tweaked the V and H positon on the monitor for all the different monitor resoltutions the video card supports. Almost all the games are working great, but I have somehow crippled ultimate mortal kombat 3 and a few other games (I think Golden Axe 2..?). It looks like it has a vertical game resolution, its super squashed. The monitor v and h positions will not increase enough to help it.

What can I do to fix this?

Alright, after a bit more research it would appear that I need to make individual ini files for my problematic games. This is easy enough using MameUI but I'm not entirely sure how to do this using Mame command line. I created an ini directory but could someone shine some light on the actual creation of a single games ini file and how to get Mame command line to recognize it? This is driving me buggy.

The M.A.M.E. Resolution Tool can change the INI file settings for individual and groups of games.

Dgame,

I already tried using this tool but it won't run on my arcade system, I just get an error saying I'm missing a file (Windows 7). So I ran it on another computer (Vista) and it seemed to work fine but I couldn't get it to to write a proper ini file that I could use.

Is it true that you can just copy your mame.ini file, rename it to the game you want to modify (umk3.ini) and then adjust the settings? Where would I put this new ini file? There was no ini directory for mame command line (I think version .135).

Thanks for your help

Create the "ini" folder in the mame folder.

The line "inipath     ini" should be in your mame.ini

\mame\mame.exe
\mame\mame.ini
\mame\ini\umk3.ini

The only line in my umk3.ini is:
resolution 401x256
you will need
resolution 400x256
if you have the ArcadeVGA 3000 card.

Is there a good resource that explains all of the ini commands?  I'd like to set up certain configurations for certain games, but don't have the know how of the ini files.

dgame, you are both a gentleman and scholar. Thanks alot! I'll let you know how this works out when I get the chance.
