Hello,
Just finishing up a reformat/reinstall of my arcade with Mame .103 and a 7000 series ArcadeVGA card. I have all the drivers setup correctly and everything seems to be working fine exept for vertical games. They seem to be centered in the middle of the screen even when I look at the system via VNC, so its not just V and H size on the monitor. Here is a screenshot of Galaga running on the arcade taken from VNC:

You can see here that it is running centered on the screen for some reason. Here is my Galaga.ini file followed by my MAME.ini.

OK just tried adjusting my D9200 all the way to the max on vertical, and it doesn't even come close to filling the screen from top to bottom...what gives? Anything I can try? I mean if I turn HWStretch on then it fills, but looks crappy...i know it wasn't like this before the reformat. Please???
-
Galaga uses 288 lines. How do you expect it to fill a resolution of 448 lines without hardware stretch?
-
Hrmm...i used the latest Mame Resolution from Mamewah's site and it generated the resolution 512x448?? So you are saying that perhaps my resolution generator is off? What should the resolution be?

Anyone?
