Can I increase the in game MAME menu size?
« on: October 01, 2009, 12:55:03 pm »
Im running on a tv, so it's very hard to read the tab menu and its about maybe 15% of the size of the whole screen.  Is there any way I can make it bigger or maybe increase the font size it's using?

you can also use a front end like Gameex or Hyperspin too.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

He's not talking about MameUI. He's talking about the menu when you press TAB.

I ended up just trying a font from Mr DO's page, worked perfect.  I can now read the in game menu!
