Title: Robotron and others not filling screen in MALA
Post by: twitami on December 18, 2006, 07:35:10 pm

So, anyone knwo how, in MALA, to make Robotron, Centipede, and a few other games to fill the screen? I think these games have a bezel around them, which is not showing up, yet the game is still small and centered in the middle of my screen. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!

So, all of your other games show up "filling the screen"?  Do these games "fill the screen" if you don't have MaLa running?

Does not sound like a MaLa issue.

As FatFingers asked..  What happens to the games if you run them from a command prompt?

see pic ....

I dont think it is Mala, I just dont know how to correct it. I have not actually tried running it from command line yet though.

Turn off the bezel, and it will fill the screen. Edit your Mame.ini file and change use_bezels to 0.
