Hello All,

I've built a cocktail mame and I have one problem left to fix.

I have the "Advance MAME Settings" set to "Only Vertical Cocktail Games", and my problem is the menu buttons are to small.

I hope this is just some setting I have overlooked.

Thanks

one other thing I forgot to add is the mouse pointer does not line up with the buttons right. if you look at the image in my last post you can see where the pointer is 2 lines below the last button highlighted, if I point it at the top button on the list it lines up the right way.

Error log

Cannot Set Resolution to: 802x602 16 bit color

change to 800 x 600

And just out of curiousity does it do the same off centering in landscape mode?

Hey Brian,

I don't know where the 802x602 comes from, and in landscape it works just fine.

I am thinking it might be something related to the setting in - Advance cofig - Display Settings - Rotate Display. I know when you select Rotate Display GameEx makes other changes. Such as setting game list to vertical games only.

Well does your videocard drivers come with rotating software? Id be tempted to try those and see if the centering problem persists. Also is your monitor a TRUE vertical monitor? eg.. 800x600 really needs to be 600x800?

Anyways if the above works id be tempted to just use those and manualy go into the gameex config and tell it to only show vertical games..

Can you provide more info about your hardware?

Hey Tom

Yes I did, it didn't make any differance.

Brian,

I don't think it is with the video card, I have tried with a old MX 440, a 128 meg ATI 5700 and the 256 meg ati 9550. It is the same problem with all three. I have also tried two differnt pc monitors and a flat panel. I'll try to have the video card do the rotation and see what happens, I think the last time I tried that it seemed to slow down alot, anyway I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks

ourgrace
