Title: Couple questions
Post by: chrisindfw on January 26, 2004, 08:41:01 am

Greetings,

My control panel is all wired up and I was testing it out. I plugged my puter into my tv and POOF, 27 inch windows!

Question #1 - Any way to make windows readable on my tv? I cant read any of the text. I am at 800x600. Yes my video card supports tv and the settings are correct.

Question #2 - Some of the vertical games work great on the tv. Some dont. Is there a setting or something that will correct that?

Question #3 - Can I use the Microsoft Sidewinder Steering wheel and pedals with Mame? http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/sidewinder/PrecPro.asp (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/sidewinder/PrecPro.asp)

Thanks!

#1 Use 640x480 and/or enlarge your font size(s)

#2 Use ini files to specify resolutions to use eg 'resolution 640x480'

#3 Yes, make sure you have 'joystick 1' set in your mame.ini

if you use MAME32 you can set the resolution lower in the display menu for all games
