Yup, also at 1280x800.

The resolution was already set for 1280x800.

I only just stated installing the emulators, so I don't know if this is a new issue. Please let me know if you see anything else askew or redundant.

That fixed the last problem, but the font issue is still there.

Oh no Tom! This one is causing major problems. I'll grab a video shot to show you.

No luck Tom. Same issue with that update.

It only seems to effect the menu list font size, everything else is ok.

MainFontSize=20

Hey guys, I'm running into a weird problem with the font size when returning from an emulator. I've attached a video of the problem (and you can get a look at what I've been working on). You can see the font size is correct until you return from playing a game, then the font becomes larger. Any thoughts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLDLLYdxVn0&feature=youtu.be

100%!! Thanks guys!!

Ahhh! Good to know!! Thanks Drac!

Thanks for the pointers guys! Hacking away now.... but now I'm not getting any sound effect from any theme!! Enable Sound Effect is set to yes in the Setup Wizard, and EnableSound=True in gameex.ini I just switched to your EtD theme Draco and no sound effects for me, and no audio in Krackerman's RA-HD, but it was working last night!!

Hey guys, I'm trying to add some WAV files for sound effects, but they're not working. Here is the file that I'm using for Select.wav Does the file need to be a certain bitrate? Any thoughts?

GTL!!!

Hey gang, Not sure where to post this. Is it possible to post images with thumbnails here? I wanna upload a bunch of pics of my WIP, but I don't want all the pics showing up as the full size image when I post them, 'cause there's gonna be a lot of them.

Try disabling 'Enable Letter Select' in the setup wizard in the Input Setting section. "Enable jumping in the list by typing the first letter of an item. For some arcade controls you may want to turn this off as certain controls can be mapped to letters, which could cause inadvertently jumping in the list."

Thanks Adultery! All is good again.

This also happens on the Update List in MAME. If I blindly hit enter it shows the updating info...

That almost sounds dirty Amazing job Krackerman!

I like turtles.
