EDIT: my questions:
1. I'll start out easy. I can't seem to figure out how to map "button 8" (ultimarc 360 wiring harness) to EXIT a game back to the front end (MaLa).
2. Getting MAME to display fullscreen vertically - I set the MAME ini file to 5:4 and nothing happened. Then I tried changing resolution to 1280x1024 and it made it worse (squished the entire picture). What I'm not understanding is why I have a problem to begin with - vertical games touch the top and bottom of the screen when I don't have "ror" set to 1.
3. Properly installing fatfingers ultrastik plugin so all of the maps are automatically loaded. I checked the thread but I can't figure out how to change the "path" even by following the instructions. Ultramapper is installed in c:\program files.

Already answered:
I think I have everything configured and installed properly but when I try to launch a game the dos box comes up for a split second and displays this:
Proposed video mode not supported on device \\.DISPLAY1
Unable to initialize Direct3D
osd_init failed
I'm guessing my computer lacks some sort of generic program or something. I just did a fresh install of XP on a PIII, 766MHz, 512MB RAM computer - can someone help me out? I was hoping to configure everything tonight!
THANKS!!!
