MAME32/Mala Resolution Issue

[savj14]

Here is my current setup:

- WG D9200 Arcade Monitor
- ArcadeVGA
- MAME32 v0.106
- MaLa Frontend(have to check which version, but it is probably out of date)

So here is the issue. Some games will not display the correct resolution when selecting from MaLa only. The games in particular are Pacman, Frogger, Contra, and Donkey Kong. The resolution I have setup for them are 448x384. If I play them through Mame, they all work. I also checked their INI files and they looked as they should. All of my Horizontal games work just fine.

When I do select these games in MaLa they go back to what looks like an Auto select resolution, as they have larger black borders. So it seems like Mame is ignoring my INI files when going through MaLa for these Vertical games.

Any thoughts on this?

Could it be related to the fact that MAME32 looks for MAME32.ini while MaLa looks for MAME.ini?

Um, very possibly. Also, that is a WEIRD resolution for those games. Generally, for 224x256 games displayed horizontally, the desired resolution is 352x256 (or 264, depending). Pac games are 224x288, hence the desired res is 352x288. (Of course, if you used Advancemame, then that might be different...but anyways....)
