Popeye Resolution
namedos:
This is the first time I've run into this. I ran the Mame Resolution Tool to set up resolutions for the games that I'm running. Decided to give Popeye a try and it uses a resolution a little different than most games. So, using this Tool I tried using 640x480 and 800x600 resolutions but neither one of them showed the entire screen. I tried changing the size of the screen but none of that helped. The strange thing is that the few other games with that same native resolution all worked fine at 640x480.
I checked the forums under Popeye but didn't find anything. Anyone ever run into this? Thanks.
Minwah:
Popeye should be ok at 640x480, but you'll need to use hardware stretch (hwstretch 1) to get it to fill the screen.
namedos:
The problem is that the screen is over filled. I can't see the bottom three inches of the screen. If I try any other resolutions it only gets worse. Sometimes I can only see the corner of the screen. Should I try turning off hardware stretching?
Lilwolf:
you can also use hwstretch, and then don't let mame change resolution OR bpp. then unless your using an imbedded intel video chipset (or was that ibm?) you should be fine. Of course, if you video card can't handle hwstretch (anything TNT or above should be fine) then it will run like crap. But you should see everything ok
but if you don't have hwstrech or d3d stretching, then you better have a near exact resolution match. Because the game will output in whatever it thinks is closest. And that might not really be what you think it is. (ie, it might double all pixels (very fast without hwstretching) and that might be 640x520 or something like that.
Also, make sure that your monitor isn't stretched out. you might be able to change the settings of your video card to handle it.

You could try it...and as Lilwolf said check your monitor adjustment. Most systems should be able to display 640x480 hwstretch fine I would say.
