Nefesis:

the computer i have for my cab has a 15" monitor and it shows up the horizontal games with about half the screen. is this a problem of the computer or monitor? on my regular desktop pc the hoprizontal games take up the whole screen, just not on the MAME one.  i have attached a picture to make it more clear. if it doesn't seem clear just post saying so and i will try to fix it. the white space is the space the games take up. the black is the space of the monitor. my desktop screen is a 17".
thansks in advance

SirPeale:

Might be a video card issue.  I recently obtained a Radeon PCI card that would display only off center images.  With some tweaking I could get a good picture, but that's with tweaking.  I pulled it and went back to my TNT2.

toffee:

you know - I am having a similar problem.  my usual dektop PC displays the games as "full screen"  but the PC I just built for my cab-in-progress shows them as you describe.  by tweaking the monitor x/y position and size seems to be working, but is a pain ...

is there an OS link to this? my desktop is XP, went for 98 on the cab PC.

Nefesis:

my cab pc is a 98 too, and desktop xp. will look for an os link.

RayB:

Can I point out to you that your Monitor's physical size has NOTHING to do with what you're displaying???

Check what RESOLUTIONS are being used. That's what makes a difference.
