Title: application to generate individual game.ini files based on resolution, etc?
Post by: ARTIFACT on September 10, 2007, 12:34:55 am

All the vertical 224x256 ganes (DK, Dig Dug, 1942, bomb jack, etc) need hwstretch on my setup to look OK ... all the other games look fantastic with hwstretch OFF, DDRAW, Change Res ON

Instead of manually creating INI files one game at a time, is there an app that I could use to generate them based on specs?

THANK YOU!

is there unique data in each .ini file?  I know they're named the same as the rom name, but is the data the same?  If it is the same, you could use romlister to locate all the 224x256 games and have it build a batch file around them-this batch file could then copy a single .ini file to the target filename.  The batchfile builder in romlister would be something like:

copy c:\mame\224x256.ini c:\mame\roms\%rom%.ini

If there's unique data, then you're hosed.

WOOOO thank you so much for this...
Will try it tonight :)

(no unique data ... looks like I can do about 3 flavors of INI files and cover all the grounds across all games)

thanks again
