| AVGA & D9200. Games centered in screen, not filling |
| << < (2/2) |

it's something that will never be perfectly fixed, but it's just how your monitor accepts the information and puts the data on the screen. a normal computer monitor has an automatic centering of the picture at your single resolution that you use, with an arcade monitor, it's got all sorts of resolutions and frequencies, and can only save so much of your data. the trick i've heard for getting it as close as possible to perfect is to go back to your restool and make it so mame pops up those warning screens and center the white box for each resolution manually using the little menu thing attached to your monitor. of course it'll always be a couple pixels off, but that's better than what you have now. most of the time, you'll only have to move the screen image and make it larger or smaller, since tilt and pincussion stuff should stay constant over each resolution. get it? EDIT: this problem has everything to do with yopur monitor and nothing to do with your software. You'd get better answers in the monitor forum. |

Ahh..ok. So I need to use the Vertical resize control of the monitor to get it to fill from top top bottom and just guess on the side-side since it is a vertical game on a horizontal monitor? I guess that makes decent sense. Thanks. |

wait, your running vertical on horizontal? then i'd make myself a cookie cutout of a 3:4 aspect ratio inside the dimensions of your actual screen and then resize it to fit your cutout. or something like that. i didn't even notice you were talking about vertical games, but i think you get the idea. just make it fit properly at that resolution. |

Ok that makes sense....i will give it a go this evening. Now I don't feel like I blew $750 as bad :) I do have a 27" D9200 and don't remember having this issue (although it has been 4 years since I set it up!) ED7 |

I have a similar problem.... certain games (space invaders 88 i think is one) run small and tight in my arcade monitor (Betson Imperial). When i set up my cab i had to adjust once per resolution, but there these few games, when i stretch with monitor control i can make it look good, but then when i run other games they are all stretched out. I can give you the specifics when i get home on which games are affected, but my gut feeling was i needed to tell space invaders to run at another resolution or a res that no other game uses then manually adjust? What do you all think? |
