In Reply to: Is this a monitor or a video card issue? posted by Chuck May on 28, 2001 at 4:38 PM:
: I am setting up my cab, and everything is looking pretty good. I got the Wells Gardener D9200 monitor, and it looks great. I am using a cheap old Matrox Millenium 2MB card, which actually works pretty well.
: I am running the machine in pure DOS. Once I loaded Scitech Display Doctor, and started using the tweaked video modes, almost all the games are great and fill the entire screen, except for one problem.
: There are a group of games that run at the same resolution (can't remember exactly what it is), which includes Pac Man, Galaga, and a bunch of others. Then there is another group which runs at a slightly different resolution (Bubble Bobble, Championship Baseball). Both sets of games are being mapped to the same resolution by MAME. The problem being if I use the monitor controls to size the screen so that Pacman fills the whole screen, then Bubble Bobble is very small when I run it. Conversely, if I size Bubble Bobble to the right size, the top and bottom of Pac Man get cut off.
: My guess is that my video card can't handle one of the two tweaked modes and so MAME maps it to the other.
: If that is the case, does anyone know if there is a way to change the tweak settings. If not, is there a video card that handles all the strange resolutions better?
: Thanks for any help.
