TV Issues, Please Help
« on: October 30, 2004, 11:35:25 pm »
I am finally finishing up the final touches on my cabinet.  I am using a Sharp 25" TV with S-video.

I hooked it up tonight and it boots up perfectally, but most of the writing is blurry.  When it opens up Mamewah the game lists are extremely hard to read.  What can I do to fix this?  

I believe the resolution is set at 800x600

Also, in windows the outside edge is cut off by the tv.  Is there anyway to shrink the screen just slightly?

Thanks for any help you can provide

Josh

Switch the resuolution to 640x480 & it will make a big difference.  In XP it won't give you the option so you will have to go into Display Properties---Settings Tab, click Advanced button, click Adapter Tab and then select List All Modes button.

As for the cutting off of the outside edge of the display, if changing to 640x480 doesn't fix it you should be able to adjust the centering or the width of the screen in the TV controls (also in Display Properties).
