Black screen in Mame
« on: March 27, 2019, 01:03:14 pm »
Hi guys,

It has been a while since I did a installation and I seem to do something wrong.

I'm on a Astro City, vertical monitor. For starters I used the arcade monitor 15 preset. Changing the orientation to vertically fixed would result in no super resolutions and only like 3 with super odd numbers. So I went for horizontal.

Mame is setup for vertical and arcade 15. Modes are created. Game definitely starts but only a blank screen will appear.

What am I missing? Also I can't see just the menu of Mame. Desktop looks great though

I'm using the latest release 207.



Thanks!

krick

Found the problem!

For some reason the extended display reactivated. Mame was shown on the wrong screen. Working fine now!
