Downgrading romset? [edit: if I can't resolve this current video issue]
<< < (3/4) > >>
mmmPeanutButter:
Ok.  First off... thanks for all the help.

This is where I am now (although I'm not sure if I made the resolution change properly - I attached the latest revision).

Things seem to be running ok (I tested it with mortal combat).  I toggeled each of the items you mentioned (separately) and they were all pretty much required to get me to this point.

But...  the size of the screen...  I used to be playing all of these games at full screen and full speed (without any settings changes)(although I was using an older version on mame (074) and windows 98) and now they're much smaller.


(thanks again for your continued help)

Try different combos of turning on/off HWSTRETCH and DDRAW/D3D

I gave it a shot, but it's still not working....   the d3d gives me the error:

Proposed video mode not supported on device \\.\DISPLAY1
Unable to initialize Direct3D.

I have a feeling that it is a DirectX problem.  I tried installing DirectX 9 from windows, but I didn't pass the validation test.  I found it elsewhere and have all the cab files in a temp directory.  I fan the setup and it seemed to install, but there isn't really any evidence that it installed (the d3d still isn't working and when I type dxdiag at the run prompt, win tells me it can't find the file.

I even pulled out the disc that came with my motherboard and "seemingly" installed DirectX 8.  Nada.

I'm using TinyXP beast edition.  I'm tempted to try to scrounge up a legitimate version of XP, but I don't really want to go through all of that trouble if it's not going to help me at the end of the day.  But I'll do it if need be.  I'm desparate.

I appreciate your help...  Peale, I think you're the only one reading this thread anymore!

Try: -video ddraw -hwstretch -switchres

This should behave almost exactly like older versions of MAME

If that means set the video to "ddraw," hwstretch to 1 and switchres to 1 then it didn't work.

I might start crying soon.
