left side seems to be going outside the screen edge a little. I tried using the arrows to center it in mv, but they didn't do anything. Can I adjust this by making my own resolutions...once I figure out how to do that?
Yes, in mv go the mode you want to center and press f6. mv will create a copy of that mode - now go in there and see if it lets you center. This might be a limitation of your video card tho, so it may not work. Try some other modes - bios modes may not let mv change the centering, but other types of modes like vbe etc. will, IF they are available on your system. Experimentation is everything.
: P.S. Thanks again for all your help guys, especially Prophet. I'm almost there! :)
No prob. :)

: : I have a feeling your laptop is just converting vga signals to svideo, so it's not using tv scan signals from the PC's card. That explains what mv is telling you I think - try setting up a plain old vga 640x480 in mv and see what happens on the tv out. Depending on how limited your laptop's graphics card is, you may not have an ideal environment for advance mame.

: : : Yeah I know it's me again! :) When I run mv.exe the displays that should work with my video card are shown in green right. Well I can only get the ones named bios to test on my t.v. and not any of the arcade or ntsc ones that are green too. Shouldn't those work too since basically the t.v. is like a standard res. arcade monitor? Or should I treat it like a P.C. monitor since it's coming from the s-video connection. Thanks for any advice! Don't worry, I'll get this eventually. :)
