Mamewah movie screensaver size and position
« on: November 02, 2014, 01:26:36 pm »
I recently upgraded Mamewah to v1.69 on three of my cabs, and they're all exhibiting a problem I've never seen before the upgrade. In my standard cabs with ArcadeVGA and J-Pac, if I start up Mamewah and let the movie preview screen saver kick in the first time, its always full screen as normal. Once I leave the screen saver and let it go back in, every time afterward the video plays smaller and is buried in the bottom right corner. On my setup with the LCD tv at 1366x768, its the same behavior except a tiny video that's not centered. Again, it always works correctly the first time, but never afterward. My Mamewah options are set to show it full screen. Here's a picture:

That's odd. Try using Artwork #1 box for the movie, if you are not already.

I'm sorry I just saw your reply! I tried switching movies to artwork #1, the problem still persists. Its hard to pinpoint because it kind of happens randomly, like it'll do it the second time going to screensaver, but not the first or third (that's an example, not actual set pattern). I've tried keep_movie_preview_aspect with both video_aspect and game_aspect, and movie_fullscreen set to 1.

Have you tried the slideshow (image) screensaver? In terms of how it sizes / positions the box it's much the same as the movie saver.

Could be a bug that crept in at some point.

Slideshow shows my snaps very big and only the top left corner of the image fits on the screen, however it seems to be consistent and displays it that way every time.

You've got a Big Blue and you're not using Big Blue? That hurts.

That is pretty neat.. I'm just so used to using Mamewah for everything.
