MaLa screen size issues

(1/3) > >>

jlgal1:
I'm having issues with MaLa that i never had with MAMEWAH, when MaLa loads my roms its loading them with screen sizes that are not maximised, so much so that any of the sega built games are loading in half sized screens that aren't centered, does anyone know what setting in MaLa or MAME that i have to change? ???

loadman:
It makes no difference to MAME what FE you use.   The FE just launches it.

I would start by copying mame.ini from your old mamewah setup (if you still have it)

If that does not work post your mame.ini here.  Its probably a hardware stretching line not set correctly

jlgal1:
I still have MAMEWAH on the system and it loads the games at the right size but has issues with what appears to be frame skipping in games that MaLa doesn't have but MaLa shrinks or repositions alot of my roms which MAMEWah doesn't. They are both running off the smae mame.ini file but here it is:

If you hadn't caught on i'm new at this and can't find a setting in either FE that would explain the difference

jlgal1:
i decided to load through the command prompt, and that gives me the same results as using mala so it must be an issue with my mame.ini which brings me to the new question, what do i do to maximise the screen

loadman:


That mame.ini all looks good. What directory did you find that? 

Get you PC to do a search on mame.ini to make sure there is not another mame.ini floating about.
