Robotron, Centipede and other games. Not Full Screen
Zeosstud:
Hello All,
I swear I tried.. I cant for the life of me make these games go full screen. I have a clean install of Windows XP on an old IBM Thinkpad A31, all drivers up to date and windows patches.. The ONLY thing on here is Mame. Its a version I compiled myself but an original version does the same thing. I have tried so many setting in the .ini file I am just sick to my stomach. Nothing I can come up with works. If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears. I have used an external LCD and the built in screen, no change. I have loaded if from a front end and loaded it from command line. I have tried MameUI. I got nothing.

Other than double checking the ini for artwork, backdrop,bezel,overlay,etc being off, i got nothing, except maybe posting your ini here to see if someone might catch something. Do some games run full screen?

It's likely that the LCD panel isn't resizing automatically. Either that it can't or that it's not set to do so.
LCD's have a 'native' resolution and when given a signal less they either need to stretch it, or don't and leave a black space all around.
You just need to get MAME running at the same resolution as the native resolution of the panel.

1st, Thanks for the replies. I can post the ini alittle later but I have to say, I messed with that silly thing for HOURS last night. Yes, some games run full screen just fine, most in fact I would say. Problem is the most important ones dont. I will continue to try.

I'm definitely interested in looking at that INI. Something is messed up.
