OUT OF RANGE???
(1/2) > >>
Gromet:
using a d9200 Monitor, some ROMS come up and say "OUT OF RANGE" I hear the audio start but no picture, how do I force the game into 800x600???? anyone?

Thanks
AlanS17:
use the following switch:

-r 800x600

However, I'd probably recommend a lower resolution for safety's sake:

-r 640x480

It's not like the games were even that high, anyways...
Frostillicus:
Also, in case you may be using mame.ini you can just put the resolution in that - don't forget to change vector.ini to 800x600 if you have that file too.

Thanks for posting, had the same problem/question.  Am using Mame32 at the moment and found that 3 settings seem to effect this, turning hardware stretch on/off is the biggee, the zoom control (1x vs. 2x) and turning 3d direct draw off worked on one game.  But, pain to do that to load individual games!

I've download commandline mame and a front end to play with.   do you have to change just one ".ini" file with the -r switch?  or do you have to change a file for each individual rom?

thanks,
bdsjake:
also, meant to ask, would using an ArcadeVGA card from Ultimarc solve this problem?

thanks,
