Misfit Mame Resolutions..

IG-88:
OK, this is driving me nuts. Recently I started playing around with Misfit Mame v113.5 and have found some really cool games on it. What I can't figure out is why the default display settings in it make the good 'ol games like Pac-Man, Frogger, Donkey Kong, Mr Do. ect. ect look so good on this PC monitor. They have that "blurred" arcade monitor look and I really like it.

For the life of me tho, I can't get any of my other versions of plain old Mame32 to look like that. I've tried every combo of settings I can think of and even went so far as too try different Mame32 versions (ie: .65 .75 .85 .95 & .105) Am I missing something obvious here?

NickG:
filters? scalers? effects?

Try Mameplus (or Mame32 plus plus); you can select different Visual Effects and Image Enhancement types for your game under the "Advanced" tab in your game's Properties(right-click) or for all your games in Options--Default Game Options.

I get some weird characters on the features page of the Mameplus site. What are its merits? And it apparently has the same kind of effects available as Advancemame?

IG-88:
OK, figured it out finally. I used the same settings that are default in Mame32plus and MisfitMame but are not default on some versions of Mame32 from v.70 on. They are exactly what I am looking for. I've went back as far as version70 on Mame32 and this worked. I'll post my settings if anyone cares:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the Main Screen go to "Options"
Then "Default Game Options..."
Then under Display Tab make sure all these are checked:

Start out maximized
Enforce aspect ratio
Throttle
Clean Stretch = Auto
Rotation = Default
Effects = None
All other settings leave at default


Under the Advanced Tab check only these:

Use Direct Draw
Stretch using hardware
Switch resolutions to fit
Switch color depths to fit
Resolution box, all = auto
Frame Skipping = auto


Under the Direct3D tab check only these:


Use Direct3D
Texture Management
Rotate Effects
Filter = Bilinear
Effect = None
Prescale = Auto

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love the look this gives the games on a PC monitor. Try it  ;D
