: : Here is the real prob...I want the vertical games to display better on the horizontal monitor...so I installed AMame. I copied the v and h settings to the mame cfg file...but there was no [VIDEO} area so I made one. Then I did the MV test and saved.
In the advance mame folder go to contrib and then nick. Read the info in there and should help you all the way. If your using a different type of monitor then a 15kHz one then just use different timings.
If you have any problems let me know and I'll help you
: : If I go to the folder and type mame "pacmanm" it plays and fits the monitor great ( a bit too tall...but better than it was )....but if I try to launch from AOS I get errors about bad video settings in mame.cfg.
There is a bug with vertical games in b13 of advance mame with 15kHz monitors, this bug should be fixed in the next release which shouldn't be far off.
: : When I exited the game after the command line the video went funny...
: : Do I have to change some settings in AOS to get AMame to work?
I have all the correct settings for AOS just copy and paste it into the AOS folder for the config files
