HELP!!! Bad resolution for games?!?!?
« on: May 18, 2004, 09:36:52 pm »
Got a new 19" CRT for my 1st cab. Everything looks great, crystal clear until I select a game. All the games are really "pixely" and look like they have REALLY low resolution. Any ideas how I can fix this? My desktop is clear and MAMEWAH is clear, but the games aren't. What can I do to improve the game resolution???

Well they should look pretty pixelly, the games are pretty old ya know ;)

You didn't mention whether it is an arcade or PC monitor, but either way since you say it looks unclear compared to your desktop and MW it sounds to me like you have hardware stretch on.  Try turning that off in your mame.ini.

Also force resolution(s) using mame.ini or game specific ini file(s).  Which resolutions you use will depend on the type of monitor...
