Display on TV questions

[ConanTroutman]

I am using a GeForce3 card that has VIVO and I am sending it out to a 25" Stereo TV. My problem is It looks pretty good when the games are running but it is hard to see text in the menu. I know there has to be a setting somewhere in Configuration, I have seen screen shots that looked like larger text. Anyone wanna give me a hint on where to look? Right now what I do is use Remote Desktop to log in to the arcade machine and set the config that way. BTW GameEX doesn't run over TS - at least not on my network.

Readers Digest Version-

Any hints on how to make GameEX easier to read on a 25" TV set?

I tried doing 600X288 and it errors out. This might have been a dumb thing for me to try but I am not too keen on video stuff. Which brings me to my next question. Some games don't take up the whole screen ( Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) Is there a Mame setting somewhere that I am forgetting about? I am coming from using only Mame32 before and I don't remember having this problem.

PS Thanks Tom Speirs for making this program. I have looked and looked for a front end for Mame ever since I got Mame back in .6X. I always wanted to do a cabinet and now, with this front end, my cabinet project has been taken off the back burner and tossed into the microwave!

You can use GameEx with Win32 if you prefer. Just point to your win32.exe. I use Zetamame for example, which uses graphical filters like AdvanceMame does to enhance the look of the games and allows for autofire, like in Mame32+.

OK, you did not say the resolution your trying to run it. Is it 640X480? Do you have the ArcadeMode setting turned on or not? If so turn on the Large fonts setting. You could also try putting the Outline Text setting on. Or also turning off ArcadeMode.

In regard to Terminal Services, i use it, but it will only work if GameEx is running in a iwndow and not full screen. What will work though is UltraVnc http://ultravnc.sf.net (free).

Let us know.

I set it to 640X480 over the weekend. I don't mind running at that too much- it is easier to read it's just when i am out in windows, all my "ok" and "apply" and "Cancel" buttons are hidden on my windows display settings, thats easily fixed by dragging the task bar off to the side.

640X480

Arcade mode on (pretty sure)

I will look for "Large Fonts" and "Outline Text" and see if that helps.

As far as terminal services is concerned I don't really need it to work, I just thought I would mention it.
