Many are getting confused when i say this. I run a 20 inch monitor and at 800X600 there is a black border around games. I realize that arcade monitors are not square like a pc one, but how do u make it go the entire screen. Like stretchmame did?

JIM

: I want to change ESC (59) in the glaunch.cfg file to exit to the C key..but what # is that? what type of keypress number do they use? and where is a list?

: I thought the program came with a text file of the list of keyboard numbers. Anyways, C = 3.

: : I noticed that often i load glaunch and it wont let me exit??

: I've never seen this before. Make sure the you have exit on the correct keyboard button.

: and the screen is constantly flickering? how can i solve?

: Mess with the last 3 options in the glaunch.cfg file. One of those will stop the flickering.

: : Some games i run just bounce me back to the menu? is that a bad romset?

: Only some games? Mess with the mame.rom and mame.map files to make sure that it is looking for the correct rom names.

: : What about screen size? how do i maximize it to my montior? eheh so many questions..

: Not maximized? Well, is it fullscreen? I think that's all it can do. It displays fullscreen on my cabinet. I think you can change the resolutions in teh glaunch.cfg, but besides that, it display fullscreen anyways. It's a DOS application.

: Don't give up on this frontend. In my opinion it is one of the 3 top arcade cabinet frontends.

: : Does anyone have a step by step or how too, or some documentation on using Glaunch? the website isnt all that helpful.

: There isn't much on this frontend unfortunately. The author doesn't ever update the prorgam very much. I don't know why. It's a REALLY great frontend because it's such a simple interface.

: : Thanks
