Layout is over sized
« on: February 04, 2012, 11:29:06 pm »
Hope someone can help...this is driving me nuts.

Mike Boss did several layouts for me of different theme's.

My car racing (Daytona) themed layout is over sizing (by about 200%), game play is perfect.

I have tried reinstalling Mala....no change, MAME also, no change.

Both the Galaga and Daytona layouts are both 800 X 600. I can setup the Galaga perfectly, as soon as I change to the Daytona themed layout(on the same HDD) it's all screwed up!!

I have also reinstalled the video driver...no change. I don't know what else to try

Please help...I'm pulling my hair out!!

P.S it used to be perfect, but something has been corrupted, or I've altered something...but I can't get it running right!! :angry:

Just a guess but
Mala layout editor, layout, fixed size, tic or un-tic the use fixed size box.
Might want to save a copy of the original first incase it screws it up further.

Thanks for trying.

Turns out the .mll file in the mala layout editor needed to be resized to 640 x 480.

Very weird, as the other 2 layouts worked fine at 800 x 600.
