--- Quote from: brophog on December 18, 2005, 05:15:46 pm ---1.61 or the beta 1.62. "Most recent" isn't a number! :police: I need a number because mamewah changes everything with every new release. What video card is in there? Have you tried a lower resolution or a corresponding resolution to your desktop? Try this as a base test. Set your desktop resolution to 800x600. Set your mamewah resolution to 800x600 and then try it. Mamewah isn't terribly processor heavy and your 1.5ghz is more than adequate. --- End quote --- Fair enough-- I'm running 1.61 (sorry, I should know better, honestly). I'm running a pretty standard plug 'n' play video card (translation: from another box, most likely an ATI with 64mb or more memory). I tried lower the resolution to 800x600 and lowering the colors to match--did this about 60 times to make sure I wasn't crazy. All with no success. And the only other reason I would consider the other processor is that a) the other box most likely runs a bit quieter and b) a little more speed may make a few other games realistic (as in, I'd love to be able to play Blitz). |

You're not playing Blitz unless you buy the PC version. ;) |

I was speaking hypothetically, of course. |

Okay, so here's another thought--Mamewah still isn't working for me. It's a pain in ---my bottom--- especially when atomicFE worked like no one's business right away. But I've got a custom set of skins, so I'd prefer mamewah. If not, any other suggestions? I'd probably prefer going as much of a UI route as possible. Thanks! |

Are you using a custom layout? Sounds like you are, it looks like it is not setting your display mode appropriately.... the first line of the .lay file sets the video mode ie. resolution and refresh... make sure it is correct... It should be something like this (for 800x600 anyway): 800;32;60 600 0 800x600 32 bit color, 60 hz |
