Robotron Screen Measurements

<< < (2/2)

Chunce DeLeone:
Cool I'll check that,  if anyone gets something different or can confirm that please post.

Chunce DeLeone:
I know this post is old but i've been thinking about screen mearsurements,  I know that when you keep the aspect ratio in Mame you will get the resolution that the original game had with black borders around it.  Now does that mean that the actual dimensions, Length and width,  of the veiwable area is exactly the same size as the original.  to say it another way, if the actual dimensions of the robotron original arcade  playable area is 15 X 10 3/4 as generously reported by Clu, thank you, when I keep the aspect ratio on my 27inch tv, will it be 15 X 10 3/4?  Sorry if that isn't clear,

Spacejack:
I think that that would be the case, provided you're running at arcade monitor's max resolution (720x480? I don't really know)... you'd have to either turn off all stretching or double the size exactly, but I think that would produce a centered image that would be in the same spot it occupied on a heavily masked monitor.

paigeoliver:
Talking about resolutions and such is way, way off for what you are talking about.

Robotron had a standard res 19" screen. It is a much harder game on a 27" monitor because it is harder to see everything at once.

Chunce DeLeone:
yeah, I don't want a fullscreen image, i just want the exact size screen that the original had,  my question is that can mame do that with certain setting no matter what size monitor you are using?
