21" computer monitors :)
« on: October 18, 2003, 04:27:43 pm »
I just purchased a couple of these from a local ebay dealer and wanted to know if there is a way to "stretch" my game out to fill the entire display. I'm running mame32 with winxp.

Also if anyone is interested in the Lincoln/Omaha Ne. area these guys let you pick them up at their warehouse saving a person a ton on shipping charges.

Try the following:

1) Increase or Decrease the Resolution.    Some monitors have certain resolutions that don't fill the display.

2) Try adjusting the controls on the monitor.

3) Try setting MAME to the resolution that works best (See 1 and 2) and enable Stretch.
