Title: Vector ini in Mame
Post by: southpaw13 on April 03, 2013, 09:49:12 pm

Hello, I am running one of the newer versions of Mame.  I remember there used to be a way to change the resolution of vector games.  Does anyone know how to do this?  So that when I run Mame, regular games run at one resolution and vector games run at another.  Does Mame pick up a vector.ini ?

Thanks for your help,

Mame does indeed load up Vector.ini (Launch MAME and it checks mame.ini first, then Vector.ini if it's a Vector).

I use it to shut off the scanline overlay and tweak some beam prefs.

Code: [Select]

screen0                   \\.\DISPLAY1
aspect0                   auto
resolution0               640x480@0
view0                     auto
Just throw that in Vector.ini and change the 640x480 part to whatever resolution you'd like it to be.

Thanks!  I am going to use a different resolution to shut off the SLG mini!

What version are you using?  I am currently running 130 and Vector.ini does not work.  I even copied the entire Mame.ini to Vector.ini and just changed the resolution.  Did not work.

OK-I will update to 149 when it comes out and try it again.

Thanks

Make sure you don't have an existing ini for the specific game you are trying because it will override anything in vector.ini.

Thanks!  That's in the CFG folder right?  I will take a look.  Thanks for the tip.

It's under the 'ini' folder.
