ArcadeVGA MAME Res Tool.
MikeAlex:
I would like some help with Minwah's Res Tool. When I use the 'Test' button, the picture for the displayed game
is PERFECT. Then I choose from the menu 'generate INI files' and the ini files are created without and kind of problem (I deleted all the ini files before creating the new ones). But when I run Mamewah, the resolution of the game is not the same as the one shown with the 'Test' button in the Res Tool. For Outrun, although in the Res Tool the image takes the whole screen, when i use Mamewah it leaves a black border around it.
It doesn't seen to be a INI generation problem since when I select 'HWStretch' the image is stretched to full screen.
I'm probably missing something here.
Thanx for your replies. :)
Minwah:
Do you have your INI path setup in MAME.INI? By default, I think this is not set...
MikeAlex:
Yes, I have it set. I deleted the files already created in the ini directory, generated new ones and they appeared, as they should, in the ini directory. Stange, don't you think. ???
stuzza:
I'm getting a similar problem. I've run the Res tool and created the ini files, and I have inipath in the mame.ini file set. Now for example when I test Galaga (namco) from the Res Tool test button it launches and is displayed correctly, however launching from within Mamewah the game is cut off top and bottom - ie. it is in a different resolution to what I specified??
Chazz:
Is there a good FAQ or guide around for using these tools? Any custom Arcadevga.txt files? Everything was working fine for me until I decided to upgrade, and try out 'noname', and now I've lost all my settings. (Anyone know why my color is all screwed up with 'noname'?), and what I should be doing so that my vertical games aren't cut off on the top?? I had everything working great, but just had to go in and play around and wreck everything! :P
