Game Launcher resolution issues

[mrlee]

hi all hope someone can help me with this one, im currently using mamewah in my cab but im gonna replace the pc in it shortly and id like to try out another front end, im using game launcher on my home pc just to get a feel for things when i start up GL i get 'input not supported' across my screen, im using a 21" lcd widescreen in both my cab and home pc. If i change the Game Launcher.cfg file to any other setting i still get the same message, only when i set resolution to 640x480 or something will it boot up the front end but it looks terrible.

is game launcher compatible with lcd screens? its weird as ive had no issues with mamewah

thanks in advance

GL is no longer being develped.  It is great for older computers but was develped long before wide screen LCDs were available.  I think it supports VGA and SVGA.  800x600 is the highest res I have seen in the docs.   Suggest using one of the newer FEs that have active support.

Thankyou, i might as well stick with mamewah at least im sort of familiar with it

Anither Q id like to ask is that some of the roms like 1942 ect wont run without the 'input not supported' message across my screen, again i know ithis will be due to my lcd monitor but is there a way around this?

cheers

Not sure why you are getting that message.  I am running a 21 inch wide screen lcd with mamewah and have not had that message come up.  I am running DVI input and have my screen set at 1680 x 1050 and mamewah using the 1024 x 768 layout.

perhaps an issue with mame? do you have to alter the config in mame for lcd screens?
