Most Vector games are off screen?
« on: May 26, 2003, 05:17:07 pm »
All the vector games I have tryed with the exeption of tempest, are all to large. They wont fit on my screen! I just upgraded to mame .68 (On my way to .69) so I dont know if the two are related. It's mostly the bottom right of the games that are off screen.  Could also be due to the ati card I just put in there. I was using a Geforce3 MX400.  It's all on a tv if that makes any difference.

Someone have some ideas?

make a vecotr.ini fileand do this then :)  I actually forced all my vector games to run at 640x480 so they all run at near 100% on my PIII 500.

Ok I finnaly got around to trying this out. And no luck.  I made a vector.ini and put it in the ini dir. In it I put this: resolution 640x480. It set that resolution but the game screen is still WAY to big. I even right clicked on the game and tryed setting the resolution there. I tryed 640x480 all the way up to 1024x768.  I dont get it.  It sets the resolution, but it stays off screen. The bottom and lower left hand corner are missing.

I checked under the cab any couldnt find it there either.. :)

Anyone have some ideas?? I'm running mame32 .69, and dos mame .69.

Never mind. I was as simple as reseting everything.. Only problem is now I need to set everything back up the way I had it.. All my analog settings where reset too.  :o
