ModerateNOOB Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hi guys. Looking for a little help with the emulator MESS. What i'm trying to achieve is getting it to boot directly into fullscreen and scale to 1920x1080 when launching it from Launchbox. Been reading a guide on how to change it in mess.ini, But it dosn't seem to respond to it?? ( of course i'm not doing it right) What do i need to change?, Or is there a command line i can use in Launchbox?. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Look for the following section in the ini file: # OSD VIDEO OPTIONS # video d3d numscreens 1 window 0 maximize 1 waitvsync 0 syncrefresh 0 monitorprovider auto Make sure window is set to 0 and not 1. On a side note, MESS is no longer a thing really, it got rolled back into Mame so Mame does it all now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's again, I did this in the mess.ini and it didn't change anything, But when editing the a5200.ini like this it worked. Now i can finally complete the Atari 5200 platform. Messed a bit around with messui just before you replied, That didn't look less complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Ah yeah, the old Mess uses per system ini files, it's been a while since I have used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModerateNOOB Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 I wonder why it got abandoned ? A very fitting name indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Yeah, not abandoned at all, just rolled back into Mame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModerateNOOB Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 My point was that the stand-alone version is mostly abandoned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 at one point the project forked and now it has been merged back together so technically the standalone is just MAME now. Using the MESS side of MAME is actually pretty simple to do and it is much more up to date then any builds of the emulator. I do know that the UI version is complied for MESSUI though every month.
