Can I view what resolution is used?
« on: October 23, 2005, 09:52:54 pm »
OK, in MAME, if I view Game Information, I can see what the ORIGINAL game hardware used for resolution. If I hit F11 I can see framerate info. Is there ANY way, for MAME to show me what resolution it ends up actually picking for display? (Assume that MAME is using "resolution = auto" )

Only way I know is with your monitor's OSD, if that displays it.

Turn on debug (debug 1 in mame.ini), and then check the log file after loading a game.

Remember to turn off debug when you're done so it doesn't max out the logfile size over time.

Another way is to turn verbose on: "verbose 1" in mame ini, or "-v" at commandline.  Look at the output on the commandline for the "Best mode" and "Primary surface" lines.
