Hi guys,
I love bezels, but they confuse me a fair bit. My question is about how bezels interact with MAME through HLHQ.
In my setup I have the latest Hyperlaunch through GIT. I have a 16X9 LCD monitor (1920X1080 resolution). I am using a compiled command line MAME, 0.148.
I would like games to default to the widest setting. This is particularly important for Capcom games that almost go full screen (Street Fighter series) and others (NBA Jam series). I noticed that within the game's menus there is usually a setting for a wider game screen - this is what i want the game screen to do every time it is launched.
In terms of the bezel, I'm using a generic custom bezel i made. It's the same image repeated a number of times, so it will still look good overlapped (it's actually an 8 bit picture of me!). Because it is generic, I would like the game screen to overlap when necessary (such as full screen SFII games). Currently, the custom bezel I have is made for 4:3 (horizontal) and 3:4 (vertical) resolution using the guidelines defined by Bleasby.
One of the earlier Hyperlaunch 3.0 iterations allowed me to do this. I also had MAME bezels from Mr Do which were default, and if none existed used my custom bezel. I think it changed at around the time that Hyperpause was launched if i remember correctly (which is awesome by the way!)
So,
1. Is it possible to default to the larger screen through MAME?
2. Is there a specific HLHQ setting that i should focus on, or should i focus on my mame.ini?
3. Is it possible to set up the game screen to overlap the bezel for MAME?
I'm away from my cab at the moment, but if posting a log to see my current settings would help I'm happy to do that. I'm confident i have scoured the settings in the right modules and sections in HLHQ, but i may have overlooked something simple.
Thanks for your time.
