Title: Gavin Bensons AVGA Utility questions?
Post by: squirrellydw on March 30, 2007, 11:11:59 pm

I would like to use Gavin Bensons AVGA Utility to use on my 3 sided cocktail table and have a couple questions of course.  ;D
I am using Mala and mame113
 
1. Should I "add the dashes" or leave it alone?  I prefer the 1 and 0 over dashes and I assume that is the only difference.

2. Single Screen, does this mean I can play driving games with two players on the same screen next to each other?

3. Monitor orientation, this is the one I am really not sure of?  Since I have a 3 sided cocktail table I play most of the vertical games at the end of it and the horizontal games on the 3rd panel.  It says if vertical is selected the horizontal ini's are still created, should I pick that one?

Thanks

Go ahead an try it. If you're using Mamewah, I recommend using it's res tool, as it seems to work differently (behave better might be a better way to describe it) with it. An added benefit of this tool is it only creates ini's for the games you have, so (unless you have the complete rom complement) if you want to mess with them, it's easier to get at 'em...though, even easier, is that you can mess with them with the tool, itself. The Benson tool, I think, only generates them - though it's easier to generate ini's with.

Although, I'm thinking the reason no one answered is cos they thought, 'jus try it'.

You don't need to use mamewah to use minwah's mame resolution tool.  Between the two, I think minwah's is more flexible.  It has an option for creating the ini with the criteria that you have a rotating monitor which would be what you need (not that your monitor actually rotates, just the person playing the game).

really, I did not know this.  Any suggestions you can give me?  I haven't looked at it yet but I will.
