pinmame window size?
« on: February 13, 2005, 09:39:09 am »
I recently changed my cabinet monitor from an svga, to a larger vga (640x480 max) monitor...My question is, is there a way to make the pinmame score window smaller (lower res?) i tried setting to compact size, but that dosn't seem to work.  The scoreboard just takes up alot of room now, and is overlapping onto the table.
 Am i just basically stuck with it like this since i'm running at a low res?


thanks

Hmm... that seams to work for me.. i think you may have to restart pinmame.

also you could try vp-launch4 by the guy that makes dragon king.  it allows you to change the window size with a percentage.

ah ok, yeah i use howards wrapper now, i'll look into it. I'm just happy to know it can be changed :)

do you mean reinstall pinmame? i know the docs say it uses the desktop resolution, but i think they mean it uses the resolution that was active on install.  since my desktop it 640x480 now and it dosn't seem to change to that for pinmame

ok, setting howards wrapper to set pinmame display to 50% seemed to do the trick perfectly for everything but Baby Pacman, the videogame display on that is still too large, but all in all i can live with that.

thanks for the help :)
