Depends on your video card, resolution and television. My tv cuts off about 1/4" off each side but displays the top and bottom fine. I had a video card that would shrink everything to about 50% size on a crt. Just experiment. |

What size and what kind of TV you got? |

Anyways I plugged it in to my computer and it showed Donkey Kong just fine. However on my vertical games like Donkey Kong and PACMAN. It barely cuts off the top of my screen. I can still see player 1 up and the score and all, but a little portion of the top part of the numbers are cut off. I am using a horizontal computer monitor. Happens on my 15inch LCD and the 17inch CRT. Any others having the same problem on horizontal screens. Also soon when I build my cab I am putting a TV in there will that show the top portion or do you think the top portion will still be cut off cause I am playing vertical games on a horizontal screen. Thanks --- End quote --- You need to play around with the resolution settings in mame. Many game had different resolution settings that will be partly cut off on the monitor. I have even had this problem with horizontal games. The resolution is just slightly larger than the screen and the the score or credits get cut off. I changed alot of the horizontals to 640 x 480 and it looks great on the monitor and TV. Verticals I just played with until I had the largest screen on the monitor, without anything cut off. Good luck, Patrick |

How do you change a games resolution? Do you change the resolution in the game's actual ini file? Or the game config file? How would I change all the games to 640 X 480? Most of the time MAME auto does everything for me. Where it just looks pretty good. |

Actually I misread what you said. You just changed some of the horizontals to 640x480. I just need to check all the games I guess and make sure they show good on my 27inch tv when I get the computer built. But I would like to know how to change to diffrent resolutions for diffrent games. |
