Title: Can Mame change horizontal screen position of a game?
Post by: rbarr110 on August 28, 2006, 06:47:02 pm

There are a couple of games, Tecmo Bowl, for example, that when loaded the screen is too far right. 

Can mame, or the games ini file, be configured to display the game "centered" on screen?

Thanks

MAME automaticly centers the game image within the selected resolution. If the resolution isn't centered on your screen you need to use the monitor controls to adjust it.

Good Point.  If your monitor is like my Dell one I have in my cab, you do need to center it for each resolution.

The monitor remebers my settings so it took my 20mins when I first set-up my cab (Set and forget)
