How do you run Mame at 640x480?
« on: April 30, 2003, 02:25:31 pm »
Is this controlled by mame itself?  When I am at 640x480, my games are all off the screen when I start Mame.

Command line MAME, in file mame.ini, change

resolution  auto

to

resolution  640x480

resolution  640x480
I tried this last night.  When the game starts, it is scrambled.  Windows  resolution is 640x480 and looks fine, and mame is set to 640x480 but is scrambled when it starts.

I always make sure that my refresh rate stays the same otherwise I see similar things.

I was thinking refresh rate also.  I run MAME at 800x600 and 85 Hz (PC monitor, obviously), and I think I have the refresh rate set to auto in MAME, but I also use Multires which I think ensures that the refresh rate doesn't change when a Windows program changes resolution.  Perhaps if I didn't have that, I would need to specify a refresh in MAME.
