Are you talking AdvanceMame or ArcadeVGA?
With ArcadeVGA I let MAME "choose the best" which is presumably the game's original resolution. No configuring required at all!!
Someone back me up here. I'm sure my configuration has MAME choosing native resolutions. That's the whole point of an AVGA card!! Mame knows what the game's original res is supposed to be.

Alright then! :D
Aurich: I notice in Mame that when I click 'switch res' (of course, un-selecting 'stretch') that there are natural spaces top and bottom in vertical games. To me, it doesn't look much different, picture quality-wise, just slightly smaller. Just depends on whether you want to fill the screen as much as possible.
Okay, I tried 356x288 text looks fuzzy on the multisync. Now 512x288 look a lot better on my monitor. The only prob I can see is the refresh rate will not be correct? Pacman runs at 60hz and all available x288 are 51hz for the AVGA. I've always heard that this can cause sound emulation problems.
..........I don't like it. I got my new comp back with the card and drivers installed - and I re-installed them, just to be sure - and it looks like dogsheat. The flicker and over scan in windows (at 800*600 - and 640*480 is just as bad, but then I can't see the task bar!) is totally blech. Even in games, when I run them at the resolution they're supposed to be at have these huge scanlines. And 720 at native doesn't fill the screen! This is so f cking bizarre...oh!, and I d/l'd the benson tool and I get a runtime error/something's missing....and the mamewah res page said not found or some shet.
This is starting to turn out like so many things of this nature can: don't mess with it if you like/it's not worth knowing about it just cause you're curious....(and I generally think inquiry and exploration is good). I mean, Jeff's tv stuff today blew the ---fudgesicle--- out of what I'm gettin. Regular mame and stretch blows the ---fudgesicle--- out of this.
Oh, and I get no output to my PC monitor.

2. Don't work around the profanity filter. People from all walks of life visit here, and I want all to feel welcome. If you post something and the board automatically censors the word, don't use a misspelling, "g33k-sp3@k", or f-unny spa-cing to get around the auto-filter. It's not a contest to see how clever you can be in defeating the auto-censor. If the properly spelled word is censored, don't find a way around it please.
