Then I tossed what I could find of my old fans, and arcade machine parts. Then my burner. Then I tossed a chunk of switches, old boards. I figure in about two months I'll have nothing retro-arcade related except the rigs I've built. Anyone looking for a random piece of whatever let me know. I might have one for ya.
I'll probably get rid of the components, too. And a couple of oscilloscopes. Feels good.

Dude, some of that isn't/wasn't ebay-worthy?

Ok - had to move and open up the machine to test a dragon's lair scoreboard for someone. So I finally put in the Craftymech SLG and vga cable to try out the scan lines thing, a scant 3 years later. I can get it to work at 640x480x60Hz as per directions. looks OK and I would like to run it. However, Mala looks bad with 640x480. I understand you can run a higher resolution on the PC and then direct Mame to run games at 640x480.

This is mame 145u1 circa 2012.

Mame.ini had "resolution auto". I changed auto to 640x480. Did not change anything.
There is also resolution1, resolution2, etc which looks like they are for additional displays. didn't change those.
there was no .ini entry to set refresh rate.

Is it possible to do this resolution switch in mame 145?

yamatetsu:
You can tell Mala to start MAME with a specific resolution, you basically use MAME's command line options for this. Start Mala, open up the config window,
change the text in the 'command line' box from %rom% to %rom% -resolution 640x480.

This works in MAME 0.149, hopefully that command line option was already there in your MAME version.

TopJimmyCooks:
cool, thanks, will try.
