Title: Setting all Mame games to 640 x 480
Post by: Halo on August 24, 2004, 09:36:03 am

I think I remember someone saying it's posssible to set all games in Mame to the same resolution using the Mamewah setup program. If this is possible .. where do I do this? If it's not possible, is there any other way of doing it?

Also, is there a way of removing the prompt screens before the games? I'm using the Win32 cmd line version of Mame.

Thx :)

I'm not sure through mawah

but in the mame.ini (if you don't have an ini file... mame -cc to create it)

resolution = 640x480   <--- think its resolution.. at work and cant double check it.

but a better solution in my mind is if you dont' want it to change... set windows to 640x480 and tell mame it cant change the resolution or bpp (switchres and switchbpp I think... change them to 0)

I typed in 'mame -cc' at the cmd prompt, it came up with the message 'mame is not recognised as an internal or external command'

Navigate to your mame folder first (not been paying attention in DOS class eh?? ;) )

eg if mame.exe is in c:\mame, type:

c:
cd\mame
mame -cc

Ahh missed a bit! It says ....

'is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file'

Ahhhh I see .. thanks!

I actually just ordered 'dos for dummies' from the cut price book store (honest). I did ask them though if they had anything a little simpler hahaha.
