Betson Monitor and Mamewah Problem?
« on: January 04, 2005, 04:53:43 pm »
I just got a new 27 inch Betson Mutisync monitor with a Arcade VGA card. I am using Mamewah as my front end. I can't  seem to play certain games. Pacman, asteroids, robotron to name a few. I tried using the ArcadeVGA Resolution MAME Tool and don't seem to be having any luck. When I create an INI file for a certain game (ex. Pacman) it creates a INI file that reads "resolution 352 x 288". This INI file is in the INI folder in mamewah. When I run mamewah it overwrites the PACMAN.INI file and puts all the information that is in the MAME.INI file in the PACMAN.INI file. Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks
Glenn

When using the Resolution Tool, point to *MAME's* ini folder (eg c:\mame\ini), not \mamewah\ini.

Delete all those gamename.ini files from \mamewah\ini, MAMEWAH thinks they are all emulators!!

Note that the Resolution Tools is for MAME itself, and is totally FE-independant.
