Game is offset in MAME
« on: October 03, 2006, 02:41:57 pm »
I am running the newest MAME (I believe) on a computer monitor. Windows looks fine but when I start up a game in MAME, it is offset by about an inch leaving an inch of blank screen on the left. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

What are your video settings? (16-bit, 24-bit, etc.)

I'll have to check. Can it be that easy?

The problem is that Windows looks fine so if I adjust it, Windows will be screwed up and MAME will look good. I want it all!    ;D

Mame doesn't like 24-bit. I was running it on an on-board Intel graphics chip that could only handle 16 and 24 bit, unlike most cards that run 32 bit these days. Because of that, some of the games were being distorted and others were being offset to the left. Once I upgraded the video to a 32-bit card, everything worked fine.
