need help with mame.ini and avga
« on: July 30, 2009, 09:16:31 pm »
Trying to setup mame.ini as per Andy's instruction. Started with using Mamewah resolution tool, created all individual ini files for the games, everything was fine unitl I changed d3d to ddraw under video options in mame.ini Now some of the games are only occupying small portion of the screen. I think it is mostly limited to the vertical games, but they were fine until the last change. I am using the latest AVGA and Billabs 27"  Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am about to delete all ini files and letting mane decide on the resolution.

It looks like it is defaulting to this for games without ini or with ini that has resolution as auto.  Why the res tool didn't create an ini for pacman or digdug I am not sure

first of all, set switchres to 1 in mame.ini and see if that helps.
I do all that stuff even without a Joystick ;)
