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??

Odd ???
I don't suppose you are using any 'Additional Options'? I doubt it but these are not used by the test mode, which I suspect you would have seen.
What you could do to check if the INI files are being used, is edit one (say galaga.ini), and add something obvious in there, like 'sound 0' or something, then launch the game. This will tell you for sure if the INI file is being used...if it is not then it must be a MAME setup issue, if it is then it must be working right but indicates the 'Test' mode is not working correctly.
Post back your findings...
MikeAlex:
I thinck the ini files are used. When I set the Stretching option to 'HWSTRETCH', the setting is updated in the ini file.
stuzza:
I just tested mine and you are right Minwah, my inipath is not being used (or not being used fully??) for some reason. I ran mame from the command line and specified the inipath using the "-inipath c:\emu\mame\ini" command and it worked - ie. the games displayed in the resolution specified in the ini file. - the few vertical games I tested displayed ok.
Here's the thing though, I cannot get the inipath statement to work in the mame.ini file?? My mame.ini has the following line:
inipath ini
I have also tried:
inipath .;ini
and
inipath c:\emu\mame\ini
but neither seem to work?? I'm not sure what's going on here?? I'm using NoName Mame (v0.75 I think?) if that makes a difference?? I guess for now I can rig it using the "default options" in Mamewah, but I'd like to know what's going on!
Edit: I just tried setting -inipath in the default options within Mamewah and it works, however when it is set mame then ignores the entire "mame.ini" file. I know this for sure because the disclaimer and OK screens get turned back on. ?????????
I think I'll try regular mame (as opposed to noname) and see if it makes a difference.
MikeAlex:
Same thing here. I'm using Analog+.

I have this in my MAME.INI:
inipath ini
...that should work, hopefully...
