GameEx and Mame - configuration issue - resolution

[tpatrie]

Hi there - any help would be very appreciated.

I have a pretty basic setup... I'm just trying to run GAMEEX with MAME (standard command line version - .146).

I recently upgraded to .146 from a MUCH older version (not even sure which one) and am having problems getting the resolution to work correctly inside of games.

I have a vertical cocktail cabinet and load the OS in a vertical configuration (1024 x 1280) on a Geforce 6200 card.

Once I start Gameex and pop into a game in MAME, the resolution always looks screwy (screen looks too thin). The game will utilize the full 1280 vertical pixels, but the horizontal looks like it utilized about 640 pixels (instead of the full 1024) resolution.

Any ideas what the problem could be? Would using a command line within the advanced mame configuration of Gameex help at all? I think I tried -r 1024x1280 and it doesn't seem to help.

Any help is really appreciated...

A first suggestion, although not resolutive I fear, would be to try the GUI version (MameUI 146). I'm not very savvy in setting up the command line version through ini editing, but it would be simpler to use the GUI and try adgusting some video options...

do you have a correct resolution if you start a MAME-game without GameEx?

tell us more about the problem, does it only appear in GameEx?
