Centipede is too wide on my D9200, even having turned down the horizontal size all the way. It takes up like 85% of the width if my horizontal Monitor.

1) Is there a hotkey in MAME to show the resolution that the game is running at?
2) If I find out it is running at the correct resolution, does anyone know if there is an internal adjustment that I can reduce the H size any further?

Thanks

Hit [tab] and scroll down to game info

That only tells what resolution the game originally used not the resolution it uses on the monitor.

Start mame with -verbose parameter

e.g. mame centipede -verbose

Hey, that's good. Thanks for that.

I thought something was up when I ran a game, and it didn't look right. It's running @ 1024x768, and I was *certain* I changed the resolution in mame.ini. So I checked...sure enough, I have it set to 320x240! Why is it not adjusting the resolution?

With the -showconfig setting I can see resolution is stated like I wanted, @ 320x240. The 'find' thing didn't work, though, had to go thru line by line.

Still runs @ 1024x768, and I wonder if I change my windows resolution if it follows...

Yes, 800x600.

Ah, autoswitchres was off. Fixed now.

Turns out the Mame 'auto' resolution was picking a wacky resolution. I set it manually in centiped.ini and all is well.

Run advance mame. it tells you what it is currently running at as well as I think you can adjust it right there on the spot. And or track down the .ini for it in your mame dir and see what it reads.. like 388x240 or something
