Just removed the whole Mame32 folder from the emulators folder and I installed MameFx32. Problem still exists.. I think rebuilding the whole computer is best. There is still some old stuff installed and maybe a clean new pc with freshly installed windows XP is best.

I'm running Mame32 right now version 109 It's the mame version that I downloaded when installing GameEx

I just had the same problem on my normal PC I deleted the INI file and the problem was solved. Just tried the same thing with my MAME pc and it didn't work. I deleted both .ini files and I still have the problem. Tomorrow I will try to rebuild the whole Mame32 folder. There must be something inside that folder that gives problems.

I'm using the Mame32 emulator that I downloaded when I installed Gameex. About the command line I'mnot exactly sure what you mean but is it something like below? -device_video_output fullscreen -quiet -dir_rom "C:\Emulators\Mame32\roms" Besides my desktop is OK. It complete fills the screen. Also when I see Gameex in a small window it fills out the window completely. However when i switch to full screen I get the black edge. About deleting the INI file? Will mame still work. I added a screenshot. On the right and left there are also black edges but these are not on the printscreen strangly? Besides when I start games from Mame32 now the games also have this black edge. Someting isn't right maybe a full reinstallation would do the trick? It used to work fine...

My monitor runs via VGA the plasma via DVI so one video card runs both screens. So no splitter. Just two cable in one video card. The problem with the black edges only happens when I start games directly from Gameex. When I start a game from Mame32 I get to see everything in fullscreen. So no black edges. One thing that is different in Mame32 now is that it also runs if fullscreen. In the past I still had the minimize and close button in the right upper corner but these are also gone now.

Some more info Next to my normal pc monitor I also have a big plasmatv connected to the MAME pc. On both screens I can see GameEx and the games. On that screen there is no black edge around GAMEEX or the games. This is really full screen.

Ok I did a change to the maximize setting and things are looking better now. No more oversized games. However I just changed everything back and it stays ok??? Very strange. So I changed everything back and things still look good. Now i have an other issue that is: I have deadzones at the bottom, top, left and right of the screen. In advanced settings they are disabled. Putting them on 1 doesn't help either. Also the setting is on "full screen"and not windowed??

Below is my ini file I see maximize??

Here is the doc Besides when i play directly from MAME32 I have no problem. The screen issue only appears in GameEx I can however fix it when i hit TAB during a game. In this menu I can open `video` In the Video menu I can choose magnify. THis is default on `1` however when i switch to `auto` everything is fine. Thanks Mame_screen.doc

Since my last GameEx update the screen suddenly is cut off on both sides. I've been looking around in the forum however I cannot find a fix. Does somebody have an idea what could be the cause? I've added a screenshot http://homedrive.ziggo.nl/[email protected]%20MAME.bmp

Found it! I was looking in the wrong menu. However now i have a black line on the left and bottom of the screen. It seems like it doesn't fit the whole screen. I didn't have this problem before? Where can I fixes this......

I have been working with GameEx for a few weeks now however I cannot figure out how I can update my game list. At first no games could be found and suddenly yesterday after reinstalling everything an update ran. I don't now how but it started at start up. Now I added lots of more roms to the rom path however GameEx doesn''t see them. Is there an "update" or "refresh" button? Thanks!
