I leave mine at about 50-60% to the right, and it shows up fine without any boxes. Anything above that and I start seeing the outlines. At 100% they are solid. |

ok, i just wanted to say that i got it working the other night, it was a problem with the serial or com ports on this computer. I changed computers, and it worked beautifully. thanx for all the help, and how're those programs coming along, everyone? |

I'm going to change the font and using the second image format because it just looks better. I'll post more pics later. All that's left is mounting and a ton of re-editing MAME pictures. Nice idea whoever suggested it ;D |

The image is 240 X 160 and contains 256 color. It takes a while to create one but you get the hang of it after time. You can also create a slideshow of pictures if you wanted. You could have the game screen then delay to a control screen. The sky is the limit. 1. You edit a MAME picture then add your button assignments. 2. Create a GBA ROM of the picture 3. Connect your GBA to your computer 4. Link that ROM picture to the MAME ROM you are launching with a little programming. Then viola you now have a simple way to use an $80 GBA SP. Looks much better in person. Probably going to put it between my speakers...maybe when the panel ends and the monitor begins. |
