I recently upgraded my cabinet from:
Win 98SE --> Win XP Pro
128MB RAM --> 640MB RAM
MameWAH --> Mala
Mame v0.87 --> Mame v1.10
The games run fine, but they appear to be in very low resolution. The words are very pixelated and blocky looking.
There must be a setting in the new mame.ini or in Mala that I am overlooking... but I have tried everything.
Below is my .ini
Can anyone tell me what is incorrect... or suggest how to improve the graphics?
Thanks
