m2emulator correct resolution full-screen widescreen
DennyDifferent replied to DennyDifferent's topic in Emulation
If anyone's interested, I did a bit of research over the weekend and managed to achieve pretty much exactly what I wanted with ArcCabView. I'm still playing about with the settings but here's VF2 with an internal 496x384 resolution being scaled through ArcCabView (well, technically Reshade, I think) to 1080p with a bezel and CRT shader.

I'm running the m2emulator on my arcade cabinet (LCD monitor) and I'd like it to look as close to the original arcade as possible. It seems the output resolution for model 2 is 496x384. What I'd like to do is have the output resolution set to 1080p but keep the internal resolution original, like I can with MAME, but it doesn't seem like this is possible with m2emulator. Further, if I select a 4:3 resolution this ends up getting stretched to 16:9. I can't easily get to the monitor controls to change the output to 4:3 with it being inside the arcade cabinet. I notice if I set a custom resolution of 1920x1080 then the game is displayed correctly at 4:3 in the middle of the screen but the resolution is obviously MUCH higher than the original. I did try forcing the output resolution to low resolution 16:9 480p but the game didn't like that and closed immediately. It seems like this isn't something that's really possible with m2emulator, I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any hacks/workarounds that I could try to achieve this. I'd also like to try and find a way to add bezels/CRT shaders too but one thing at a time

Aye, I'm using non-merged for precisely this reason.

Excellent, cheers! I've noticed that if I add a full romset, rather than selectively adding MAME roms from the non-merged set, that it keeps the roms in the MAME directory. I only want to add 100 or so selected games from my MAME library to my cabinet which is why I've been adding them selectively.

I've been trying to debug why LaunchBox won't launch the few MAME games I've added. In debugging this I've tried to run the command locally to see what I get and this is the response with the zip contents side-by-side: Any ideas?
