My monitor is an SVGA monitor (not CGA) and I thought I couldn't use an AVGA card with it though... if I can I will have to pick one up (I'm in the process of building my mame computer but I'm doing all of the setup/testing on my Dell laptop for now)... --- End quote --- Oh OK, sorry I didn't think that screen might be SVGA. You probably don't need to use the Resolution Tool (although you can) then, just try setting some different modes in your mame.ini file (640x480 is a good place to start). |

Hey Minwah, quick question for you while we're on the topic... With an AVGA 7000 on an arcade monitor, I've always had to shrink down my vertical size in order to fit rotated games on my monitor, with the side effect of having my horizontal games slightly "crushed" -- looking almost "letterboxed" If I follow the readme included with your resolution tool, will that still happen? |

It's good to know I'm not completely screwed. Hopefully I will be able to tweak games individually because I wouldn't want to alter the look of the games that currently display fine (they look amazing!). It would be nice if it was similar to adding something like "-ror" in conjunction with a rom which rotates the display 90 degrees... |

So will this really allow me to fit all of my games on my monitor without having to resize everything manually (on my adjustment board)??? Im a bit confused to what the tool does. I just want it forced to 640*480 so i can have a full screen on my arcade monitor...... |

Personally, I prefer this to having letterboxed horizontal games. |
