screen resolution games are too small

[Kamal]

I have an issue with gameex and the screen size, under the main gameex screen everything is fine but as soon as I launch a game it is drastically reduced is there an option to correct this?

Hm, to me it looks quite normal. Of course the game has to shrink when you use the bezel artworks around it. So in total you get a fullscreen vertical (left pic) and a fullscreen horizontal (right pic).

Anyway I think there is an option in mame32 called "Crop artwork" try to play around with this a little. It might help.

I am using the dos mame, if you seen this in person you would know it is not normal I have 2 computers running mame one it displays fine and the other is reduced and I dont know why. I dont have a mame.ini in mame105.

It looks normal to me, considering your using Bezels. Maybe the issue is the other machine is not using Bezels. This might have been turned on by the new Bezel feature in GameEx, although that should just be for vertical games. Try disabling the option under Basic MAME settings.

So maybe you post a snapshot of the one that you think it looks alright. Again, I can't find anything strange in the pics you've posted.

For mame32 there are commandline options:

-[no]artwork_crop / -[no]artcrop Crop artwork to game screen size only.

-artwork_resolution / -artres Sets the resolution for the artwork in a game (0 for auto)

Don't know whether these work for DOS mame as well but it might worth a try although I don't really see the problem....

I have included two pics how it looks for me with and without bezels using mame32.

here it is when it looks normal,which is the bezel setting under?

In fact there is NO bezel visible in your pic. So it doesn't make me wonder that the game is fullscreen...

To shorten it up: A bezel is arranged around the playfield of a game which requires on a monitor necessarily that the game itself has to shrink. If not the bezel would cover part of the playfield. It's that easy

You do know that this is an option only for registered users?

I don't see the option "use bezels for vertical games" in you configuration screen, and it should be at the bottom or on next page (that button is greyed out in your screen). Perhaps you haven't registered the gameex installation on one of your machines?
