oh, that pixel aspect.
Those numbers vary game to game; it's based on the original resolution, so there are over one hundred of different numbers. Luckily mame is okay at guessing:
view "Pixel Aspect ("
Should do it for all games. (At least it worked on the two games I tried with 0.134.)
I hope you have a multires CRT monitor.
SGT:
I didn't realize that varied from game to game. Hey what does that "(" mean? Is that a wildcard character?
u_rebelscum:
Nothing special.
Mame tries to figure out "close" misses. The "(" was the first one in your example, or the last character I used from your exammple, depending how you look at it. I tried it without it (just "Pixel Aspect") and mame couldn't figure it out. With it, mame was able to in the two games I tried (smashtv & arkanoid). :dunno Go figure.

Yep, I am an idiot. I forgot that the 7:8 had parentheses around it. Thanks u_rebelscum.
BamBam:
So does that mean that I need to edit the Mame.ini to reflect the "view "Pixel Aspect ("" mode?
Thanks for the replies on this.
