| Why aren't games displaying at the proper resolution? |

I asked this in the Software and Monitor forums but no one has responded so I thougt I'd try here... maybe I'm not describing the problem properly? Anyway, I just recompiled MAME 0119u2 and installed MaLa 1.04. After setting everything up and launching a game, everything appears very pixelated like the wrong resolution is being used or something. The snaps behind the game list all look fine as does the FE display generally - the problem is when I launch a game. Is there a setting I could have inadvertantly triggered that would be causing this? All of the games played fine before I updated (from .87). I have a Happ Vision Pro 19" Shelf Mount VGA/SVGA Monitor (49-1337-VP2LG). Any help would be great - I finally decided to update my cocktail cabinet with MaLa instead of GameLauncher because it's way more user-friendly. I'm even thinking about getting an iPac4 and swapping out my iPac2 so I can take advantage of the game rotation features and stuff. Anyway, I really want to get everything to display properly before this weekend but I'm not sure which settings to tweak and stuff. Thanks! :cheers: |

It could be heaps of things and all I will say is: Welcome to MAME and all it BS and tweaking. It really takes the fun out of it sometimes. Sorry I can't be more of a help but I am sure someone here knows more than me. |

Theres a few things you can try. First, rename or move the mame.ini file. This will force MAME to use default settings. Something I've found that's very helpful is to load up MAME32 and use its GUI to set resolutions and other settings for each game. The changes are saved in the cfg folder, and regular MAME will use them. |

switchres 1 hwstretch 0 try that... it will attempt to display each game to its original resolution. SOME games may appear stretched/wrong, but just make a game_name.ini file with this option set to 0 for each special case to tweak each game settings MOST of the time, this will just work... It works like this on my 27" Multisync monitor (pro video editing monitor) plugged via VGA > BNC Leads (RGB) If you don't set these things, MAME will try to "blur" and stretch all your games to a single resolution (640x or something very different from original game res) I hope this helps!!! |
