program to change resolution?
« on: June 22, 2004, 09:27:07 am »
My desktop and mamewah run at different resolution. this has not been a problem until I started running MS pinball with Howard's wrappers:
Whenever I exit the pinball, the resolution gets set to the desktop resolution (1024x768) instead of the mamewah resolution (800x600) causing some of the desktop to show around mamewah.
My guessis that this is because MS pinball sets the resolution back to the desktop resolution when it exits, regardless of what resolution it was launched from.

I don't think it matters but I'm launching Howard's MS pinball wrapper from batch file.

Is there some kind of app that I could add at the end of the batch file that would force the resolution back to 800x600 before returning to mamewah?
