native resolution list for all mame games?
Crayola:
I am looking to build a CGA only mame cabinet. I want to figure out what games I
can play without switching resolutions (arcade monitor).
Thanks,
Mike
NOP:
it's not ideal, but romlister can help with some of that.
I assume your monitor can do 640x480, so you're looking for all games at or below that resolution?
here's how I did it with my arcade monitor machine:
generate a full list of all roms (or make a list based off your available controls) and then output the list as a CSV and include the video width and height in your output. bring the list into a spreadsheet and sort it on width and height and you can chop off the list when the resolution gets higher than your native.
doing this was kind of cool, as I found (I have a vertical cocktail machine) that some horizontal games from the early days were still less than 480, so they played just fine vertically in their native size.

Just let MAME scale things and move on. Why complicate/limit things because they won't display "perfect". If you have another cab that can play those other games anyway, that's a different story. :cheers:

Hi,
You can get that list easily:
mame -listxml generates a xml file with all the info regarding all the games emulated.
Open the xml with an editor (ex xmlspy) and find the display tag. Theres all the info you require there. Select it and copy to excel.

I believe he wants them at their native resolution. Pixel to pixel as opposed to scaled. This is how I would be wanting them via a CGA monitor as well. Black Tiger stretched/scaled? Not if I have a choice! ;)
