Are you using switches in your command-line or do you set your settings in the mame.ini file? Which ever you use, post the contents of either so we can find your problem. Looks like it's a video setting that needs to be tweaked.

Here Is The Whole Config File

I Hope You Can Help Me

I'm Lost xD

All I Know Is Its Something With The Aspect Ratio

The only options you are setting for MAME via GameEx are: "-nowindow -joy -skip_gameinfo". This means that you must be setting other things in MAME32. You need to either check there or provide the mame32.ini file so we can take a look.

It Runs Fine In Mame32 Though When I Run It Directly From There

[bkenobi]

If you run it from MAME32 directly and it works but does not work correctly from GameEx, then it must be a problem with the command line arguments you are using in GameEx. I don't see anything that would be a problem, but you could try deleting the arguments in GameEx just to make sure.

Where Would I Go In The Config Menu To Do That?

BTW Here Is My Mame32.ini

Mame32.rtf

[Tempest]

Advanced Mame settings > Mame options. I'm on Bkenobi's side, it shouldn't help.

Try adding -noswitchres to the Mame options.

[bkenobi]

I don't remember what the [no]switchres switch does. You currently have it set to 1 in your MAME32.ini and Tempest is suggesting setting it to 0. It looks like you are also running MAME windowed. I would probably set it to be full screen instead of windowed, too.

Description

This option enables MAME to switch you screens resolution. This needs to be enabled if you use the -resolution options

Example

mame <gamename> -switchres

Command Format

<gamename> -switchres. This option has no other parameters.

MAME's Default Setting

Off

Opposite Command

-noswitchres

[Tricky9012]

-noswitchres Worked ;D

Thanks A Million

And Thanks To All Offering Help

[Tempest]

Good Deal!

BTW: I would only rate my answer a 316 on the Tricky scale.

[bkenobi]

If the problem was -noswitchres, I highly recomment modifying your mame32.ini file to change the 1 to a 0 in the switchres line. That way you don't have to worry about adding the command line parameter. Just how I would do it...either way works though.
