mortal kombat 1 resolution help required
Apollo:
this is probably the wrong section of the forum but...
I've just about got everything sorted as far as my games displaying properly but i still have a problem with mk1.
I'm using an arcadevga card and mamewah and all the ini files have auto resolution written in them. can i just go and manually write a resolution in the ini file for mk1 and if so how would i write it and what resolution works for other people?
Thanks
Zebidee:
The MK series native mode needs a screen refresh rate that is difficult for many monitors. But many others will do.
If using windows, the simplest way is to change the resolution for MK1 et al through Mame32 (select game, right click/properties/screen I think). Your changes will be saved to the game's .ini file.
You can also edit the [romname].ini file in the ..\mame\ini\ folder. It is a text file.

thanks Zebidee, I need a little more info though. How exactly do I edit the rom ini file. I know where to find it and that it is a text file but what do I write in there?
Zebidee:
Use windows notepad. change "resolution auto" to something like:
resolution0 401x256@0
or if that doesn't work on your monitor try
resolution0 384x288@0
You'd probably be better off using mame32 to change the resolution etc though. The settings changes will be saved and accessed from mamewah when you run it next.
Also, I recommend that you download and use the arcaderes software tool by Gavin Benson from http://www.ultimarc.com
There is also a "mamewah resoution tool", but that is a little trickier to set up. Look on the forum:

thanks i have both the ulitmarc res tool and the mamewah res tool (that might be a bit of the problem) i'll give your res advice a whirl.
