Title: MAME Resolution Problem???
Post by: terabit on January 05, 2005, 01:30:41 am

I have a Betson 27 inch monitor and an ArcadeVGA card. I am trying to use Mamewah with the windows command line MAME and the ArcadeVGA MAME Resolution Tool. I just can't seem to get the resolutions right. When I run MAME32 the games look fine. When I run pacman on Mamewah a little of the top and about 4 inches of the bottom are cut off. When I run Stargate a large part of the right and bottom are cut off.  I think my problems may be in the MAME.ini file but I am not sure. Any suggestions?

This should be in the Software forum (probably in your similar post there ;) ).

Sounds like you just need to adjust your monitor to me...you will probably have to do this for each mode you encounter.

I don't know if this is best for your monitor...

but for mine (EYGO 27") I get best results forcing mame (and windows) to one resolution (native) and use hardware stretching. 

The problem you have is its changing to (for instance) 320x244 and you haven't setup that resolution on the monitor.   And each (and there are hundreds) need to be setup.
