Need Help with ATI TV Out, Please

(1/4) > >>

Peeper:
Hey all- My Cab is now 98% Done, but I'm running into a problem with my Radeon 8500 TV out In Windows XP. I'm sending out S-Video andeverything seems fine, Except for certain games. The problem is that the TV is only showing a portion of the image, and pans around as I move the mouse.

For example, Tempest: I Only see a quarter of the screen while actually playing, but as I move my spinner, it pans side to side. Meanwhile I can see the entire screen on my PC monitor.

Anyone have any ideas.

Thanks for reading this,
Peeper

Okay, so the Raden creates a 'virtual desktop' on the TV when the resolution istoo high for the TV. I tried forcing the resolution using the -resolution switch in both MAME and MAME32. The problem now is that they both start games in a window now : (

THis is gonna be a challenge...

did you try to switch to 800 X 600 for resolution or 1024

I have foud that hitting alt-enter twice jumps it to full screen. Now if I can just get it to do that automagically...

I have a radeon 8500 and have the same problem, but only when I have a monitor attached with at a resolution higher than 1024x768(the highest my tv can go).  if your tv is the only video attached now, then keep the resolution below the max your tv can go, otherwise it will pan around the 'vitual desktop' at the higher res.  You can find out what the max is in the display Settings - Advanced - Displays - click on TV.  make sure the TV is set as the primary display if you are using the extended desktop functions(multiple monitors).  I suspect the vecotr games might be drawing at a much higher res than other games.

I totally dig ATI's multiple display formats, they are quite flexible.  It's a little tricky learning all the ins and outs though initially  :-/
