when you say stretch, similar to trying to watch a 4:3 movie in 16:10?

So Im running a 24" widescreen in my mame, Got the Bezels etc working and have all settings in gameex for video to default. When I have the bezel artwork (ie same as default gameex one). It works, But I obviously have a black gap between edge of screen and bezel (about the same thickness as the bezel art itself). How (if possible) Can I create a larger image to fix this? I tried making one 1024 x 480 and updated the bezel.lay file to 1024 instead on 640 for position. The image is in the right place, but the game moves from the middle toward the left and behind bezel...if that makes sense heres the bezel I was trying to use. Again, you guys rock Thankyou 295167-tempest.zip

Sorted, got a cheap pci e card and issue resolved

So good to see I know what im working with (sarcasm). Turns out I have 1gb of ram in the beast, 3.0 2mb cache pentium 4 processor. The ram I was given (according to the acer site was the original / doesn't fit). Back to the shops...but I did get my lights etc fitted

just scored 4 gb for $20 and a 3.2 chip for another $20 winning... will let you know how it goes, problem is all my arcade stuff arrived at once, new led buttons, lighting etc..... why does work keep getting in the way

roger that, thankyou

oh jebus, what was I thinking, im on xp not 7...brain fart.

Hi Guys, Almost got the beast working at 100%, I've noticed a few games that don't come up with error flags are stuttering when it comes to audio (ie batrider as an example). Some however run no issues. I have scoured the net with countless posts of similar issues, confirmed I dont have -tripplebuffering enabled on the command line but still have issues. I thought the pc I bought should be able to handle it no problem (specs below) running mame 146 Any ideas?

sorted thankyou all

opkies, set it up under mame (not emulators, duh me) anmyways now artwork etc works, I thnk..... I can view the games and launch (shows controls) then loads to 100% and dumps me back to gameex) latest log attached EDIT**** above fixed, somwhere between my desktop and the arcade machine I went from 146 to 145, updated and working. artwork still works.. pending bezel confirmation...i like my chances log.txt

15:47:52.7 5/01/2002: MAME Path is: C:\Emulators\Mame32 15:47:52.7 5/01/2002: Cannot Find MAME Path: MAME Disabled may be the issue still wierd that games run etc.. ill check it out once im home, wife remote support is limited

actually got my remote assistance (wife) to grab it for me..... log.txt

I am using the mame 32 command line (called from gameex) I will post a log in about 8 hours when I get home from work Thankyou all so far for staying with me

After buying a new desk for the pc, I actually ended up making more room so wifey was nullified

ok, still having issues, Still no mame.ini, no mameui installed... simply gameex and mame 146 (I have however found [Arcade] Arcade (MAME).ini (only file found when doing a full hdd search on mame.ini) which I assume is the file in question since gameex is controlling it? Also tried putting the mame.png in the media folder. Clearly its the ini file thats the issue here I just can't find it

Doh that that may be it. Turns out I didn't have a mame.ini so ran mame -cc. Made sure options were as above still no go

First one I've built, still some minor things I want to add / move cosmetically. Cost far more than I originally budgeted Running gameEx frontend. Few shots are before the monitor bevel / t moulding etc was added, I will be removing the rope lights as they heat up too much. might even be bothered taking some real photos later once its complete

yup thats the one, sorry going from memory gameex\MEDIA\BEZELV2\mame.png nothing shows up

Hi Guys, I have custom bezels, in the media/bezelv2 folder (mame.png) etc and I can't get them to work in games (always black). Turned on in options, but has never worked. any pointers? (Im happy to have the same bezel for all games cheers V

awesome, just need the starts to stop kicking me out now

alt enter solved the full screen....wow... still have the issues with player 1 and 2 quitting

Thankyou, I tried removing all the global exit keys and it still does it Manually set some global exit keys, which work but the player 1 and 2 buttons together still exit. Here is my ini file maybe it will help? Also is there a way top foce video (ie avi and mp4 playback) to go full screen? You have been very helpful thus far GameEx.ini
