What about this TV?
<< < (6/9) > >>

Windows shows what modes the Tv supports and it does show 640x480.  But you can't select it from the conifguration window.  I also tried another laptop with the same issue - both have the intel graphics.  That is why I am curious if Dowdy has the same problem and what resolution he's running since he has the same TV.

I had something like this bothering me a few weeks ago, of course I forget how I fixed it now...

Is it a widescreen laptop? If so try setting the Laptop screen to a more standard setting too, I think thats how I got it working... I guess I could go check.

What you'll need to do is manually set the resolution.

Get into your resolution settings and click advanced
click adapters
click list all modes
and select 640 x480

The thing is... the tv is going to cut off a little bit. A CRT TV normally isn't capable of such resolutions. I believe you can force mame to use a specific resolution as well, but I just dealt with not being able to see it all.

I just checked on my TV using SVideo from a widescreen laptop - and while Windows is set to a widescreen display on the LCD Panel - it also output in widescreen on the TV, moving the mouse around would let you see those regions you couldnt before - by switching the Laptop's Resolution to 800x600 for the Widescreen LCD Panel, everything was viewable on the TV, I guess because the Windows desktop was no-longer being displayed in widescreen. I dont recall having problems putting BOTH the TV and LCD on 1024x768 - The resolution didnt seem to change anything visually, Im not an expert on any of these things, so dont ask WHY any of it happens....

On a side note - My laptop uses a Radeon 200m or w/e it is, not an intel

Went in to modes, manually changed the laptop to 640 x 480 and the same thing.  Still getting cut off the screen while in MAME.  At this point I have no idea what to try next....
