--- Quote ---This is what I was wondering myself. The artwork system was brought up the last time this was discussed, so one has to wonder whether specific artwork, in conjunction with pre-scaling will be able to get the job done. I'm not well-versed enough in how the artwork system works to know at this moment in time. Anyone know more about this or have some resources to share on the subject? --- End quote --- Mr. Do from the MAME team would know better than anyone. I think he has an account on this forum or you could contact on the mameworld.info forums. |

With the removal of the so called 'clean stretch' from MAME, I didn't think it was possible to use multiples of the game resolution + black borders for the remainder without any 'stretching'. --- End quote --- This is what I was wondering myself.

He created a 'clean stretch patch' for MAME's D3D mode which was rejected by mamedev for whatever reason. I'm not sure if he views the boards enough to see this though. I have still been meaning to get around to trying out his patch. See this thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=56050.0 and: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=70539.0 http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=67622.0 I personally hope that someday MAMEDEV will incorporate something similar to this patch in the official build. |

Here is a previous discussion we had on the topic: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=70626.0 Mr. Do replied in there. I'm still thinking Tempest is the best cabinet choice for this, or something with a sleek sloped back shape like that. |

well.. if you slant the monitor back.. Like in a pacman.. then the "marquee" area of the monitor is going to be in a weird spot.. I would say you should mount the monitor straight up and down. you could place the speakers directly under the monitor. |

I would like to see a serious Pinmame attempt with the type of display as discussed. Using such a big screen with mame would ruin the experience IMHO. I always thought arcade cabs were personal one on one. With a 42" you would lose that unless it was a virtual fighter game type scenario. |
