Some games showing up as very small on screen.
youki:
In your mame folder , you don't have a INI folder ?

I am having a similar problem and it shows up with both AtomicFE and MameWah. I'm using Mame 0.69 and I can call mame from the command line and the resolutions work perfectly, but from within MameWah or AtomicFE, they come out in weird, high resolution modes with very small screens. I have yet to figure out exactly what the problem is.
I'm beginning to wonder if there is some stretching/sizing mode I may have turned off in the cfg, but also, I am not seeing the games pay attention to the ini resolution settings when called from AtomicFE or MameWah. I have been working on this issue for months and I'm completely stumped.
youki:
That 's strange. Because for Atomic , i know it works.
Is your INI folder is in the MAME Folder?
What you can try to workaround the problem , is to use a .BAT to run mame.
Ex :
Said you have your MAME installed in C:\emulators\mame\
Ini folder should be C:\emulators\mame\ini
With the notepad create a .BAT file called : RunMAME.BAT with
--- Code: ---c:
cd \
cd Emulators
cd Mame
Mame %1
--- End code ---
Then specify as default emulator : RunMAME.BAT (instead of MAME.EXE on the Folder Tab of AtomicManager if you use it, on MAMEWah i don't know where but you should be able to do the same thing).
If you want give a try. It should not make difference because Atomic set the default folder to the emulator one when it run the game. But just it case.

I was thinking of doing the same thing Youki..... creating a .BAT to invoke things and see if that works.. plus in the batch file I can create my own log showing what parms are being sent to Mame.
I'm going to do this and report back to you.
I moved MAME.INI into the \mame\ini directory when I discovered that it doesn't seem to read all the config information from the file if it's in the \mame directory. I do not know why. I recognize that mame first seems to look in the default path for mame.ini, but then it checks ini/mame.ini and reads that file. So to avoid confusion, I moved the file from \mame into \mame\ini. Should this have any impact on any of the FEs? I am thinking not, but you might know for sure. Thoughts?
