Title: Ninja Warriors (Monitor / Software / Mame ) - Help! (SOLVED-ish)
Post by: Chris John Hunter on June 10, 2013, 08:03:25 pm
This one is a bit of a doesn't fit into any forum question.

The original cabs they had three monitors I think I remember. Now I really loved this game on the C64. When I put it up on Mame it splits the screen and its very small.

Does anyone know of any way of re-configuring/hack/patching it to work ?


When I say work I mean on a one screen setup.
Cos its a cracking game.


Cheers

"The original arcade game version used an unusual screen setup that situated one display in between projected images of two other displays, creating the appearance of a triple-wide screen" (from wikipedia)

People have certainly setup 3 monitor systems (which I'd guess it's the same as 1 monitor and 2 projections)

On mine, it plays pretty well on 1x21" horizontal monitor but would be less black space of course with 3 (or even 2 as a compromise). It makes it dedicated though and that's not the way I'm heading - it's playable on 1 screen for me.

I played it on Amiga and though good it was still widescreen look (on 1 monitor obviously). The Mame version is higher res looking and smaller sprites so it actually looks and plays better in that version (as you'd expect perhaps)

Hi Essex. I actually played one version that had 3 monitors. I know there was another version. When I run it I get it chopped up.

I had it on the C64, I never got round to the Amiga version. It was very different from the other arcades.

Cheers. Ill play around with it  :cheers:
