Robotron, Centipede and other games. Not Full Screen

(1/2) > >>

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?

DJ_Izumi:
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.

Zeosstud:
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.
