Title: Mamewah, Layouts, and genFE
Post by: FoX on June 29, 2004, 11:43:32 am

I recently downloaded the modifed genesis emulator (genFE) from http://www.screenshotarchive.com.

When I initially used it within Mamewah with the default layout (640x480) everything worked fine.  It loaded full screen and exited out with an escape

I recently changed to some of the custom layouts out there.  The current one I have is 800x600.  When I try to fire up genFE it drops me to my desktop and displays a blank white screen that takes up 3/4ths of my desktop.  I can hear the roms music in the background playing.  I cant escape out.  I have to do an endtask on genFE and it will drop me back into mamewah.

I initially thought it was due to the change in resolution so I dropped it to a custom layout that was 640x480.  Did the exact same thing.

Changed it back to the default layout and it worked fine again

Mame / nes / Visual Pinball all work fine in the custom layouts, just not genFE.

Anybody ever run into this problem?

Note sure...but check you have 'Full Screen=1' in your gens.cfg

Well, I feel like an idiot for not checking that.  I had assumed it was already set as it was loading full screen from the default template.  Set it in the cfg file as you said and all is right with the world now.

Thanks! (still looking forward to the trackball support ;) )

Looks like i jumped the gun on declaring this fixed.

It appears that 640x480 customs now work but 800x600 still do not.

Half way there.....

Sorry I don't know what else to suggest...it works fine for me with MW at 368x240...
