I really need help setting MAME up to run games in their native resolution as pixel perfect as possible to the originals.
Here are my MAME settings:
Version 0.142u3 compiled (no nag/hi score)
Frontend: Mala 1.74
MAME .ini file is default except for these settings I changed:
#
# CORE ROTATION OPTIONS
#
rotate 1
ror 1
#
# WINDOWS VIDEO OPTIONS
#
video ddraw
#
# DIRECTDRAW-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
#
hwstretch 0
#
# FULL SCREEN OPTIONS
#
triplebuffer 0
switchres 1
I used the Arcade VGA Res utility to generate individual ini files for every game.
For example, the donkey kong ini file has this information:
## dkong ##
screen0 \\.\DISPLAY1
ror 1
switchres 1
hwstretch 0
bezel 0
backdrop 0
resolution 256x240
resolution0 256x240@0
I am running Windows XP with 640x480 32 bit color desktop using a Radeon 9550XL (not an ArcadeVGA Card) through a VGA-to-CGA Converter Card into my Sanyo 20EZ monitor.
When I load up Donkey Kong for example, the screen looks like this:
It does the same with Pacman which uses:
resolution 288x240
resolution0 288x240@0
Any ideas?? I really want to get this to play games at the right resolution, nice and sharp.
Thanks!
