I put a post up about it and didn't get a single reply. i figured plenty of people must have gone through this by now but i couldn't find any info searching the forum.

One suggestion I have is to check your mame path statements on your FE.

FE = Front End
--- Quote ---A front end is software used to launch games. With some emulators it can be quite a hassle to switch between games, as each game may require different settings. A front end can provide the end user with a seamless experience from selecting to playing games. There are many front ends available, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Please check the table on the Front-Ends wiki page for features of various front ends.

I have set up an ArcadeVGA a number of times and never had an issue with it picking the correct resolution. I would first check to see if it is actually generating the correct ini files. You can check this by opening one of the ini files for a game and you should see the correct resolution. If this checks out, double check the location of your ini folder. Last, double check your arcadevga settings in your mame.ini

ah, ok. I just hadn't seen or it didn't click that FE meant front end.
yea, I'm using hyperspin and I've double checked that already.
if I put the ini files in a folder called /ini how do I tell mame to look for them there, or is there a better way?
Dawgz Rule:
There is a default ini folder underneath the mame folder. All of your ini files should reside there.
