Mogochagi Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Greetings all. I have an issue with Mame maybe someone can help me with. I am trying to get mame to display settings so I can adjust them, but for some reason I cannot get it to work. I have confirmed that what I am doing is correct but it is still not working. I will attach an image of what I am trying to get mame to do and show me so I can adjust. The only options I am getting are the basic sound, gamma, brightness, and contrast. I cannot get the rest of the settings to show up. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Edit your mame.ini file. Scroll down to "OSD VIDEO OPTIONS" and change video to bgfx. Some may say use 'hlsl' or even 'glsl', but this will at least show you the added options. # # OSD VIDEO OPTIONS # video bgfx numscreens 1 window 0 maximize 1 waitvsync 0 syncrefresh 0 monitorprovider auto Close and save. There are quite a few posts here about setting up the different video options. Some older, some newer, some several thread pages deep.

Mogochagi Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Tried that, does not work. Also I have been doing some research and there are others having this problem as well but I have not seen any posts with a resolution or fix to this.

Mogochagi Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 I have tried mameui, mame, mame arcade, etc etc, same issue with all of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogochagi Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 yep, tried all that too, still a no go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I was just toying with these settings in the last week or so wanting the same thing you are. 'More options'. According my chicken-scratch notes (which I'm trying to get better at noting what it is I'm about to screw up), lines I changed were "video" and "hlsl_enable" and also "filter" from "1" to "0" (which I forgot to mention. Under "OSD ACCELERATED VIDEO OPTIONS"). The only other thing I think I may have changed in mine was the ...screen_chains to hlsl. # # BGFX POST-PROCESSING OPTIONS # bgfx_path bgfx bgfx_backend auto bgfx_debug 0 bgfx_screen_chains hlsl bgfx_shadow_mask slot-mask.png bgfx_lut bgfx_avi_name auto MAME 0.207 mame64.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogochagi Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Let me just say, if I ever win the lottery jackpot, I am going to give you one heck of a tip! As soon as I changed those other settings and booted it up I noticed a difference right away! And when I went into the settings all of that stuff was there. Thank you ever so much. You have no idea how much of a heartache, headache and turmoil this has caused me over the course of the last several days. Kudos to you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzo Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Once you get it all configured the way you want it, will you post a screenshot? I never mess with filters, I just go for clean square pixels, but I'm curious to see what you can achieve with these extra options. Thanks!

JoeViking245 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Glad it worked! Now for the real fun stuff... Depending on the options you change, they may not save (between exiting and restarting Mame). So have your notepad and pencil handy and note the changes you make. When done, exit Mame and head back to the ini file and change the respective values under "DIRECT3D POST-PROCESSING OPTIONS". Make a backup of mame.ini 1st!!! Just sayin'. If you have a game that's unique to the others or your working with different overlays/bezels/artwork, you can 'save' game-specific settings by: Modifying the mame.ini file (as noted above but without saving as mame.ini) Save it as romfilename.ini ..into the "ini" subfolder.

Mogochagi Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Thanks for that, will do. Garbanzo, do you mean a copy of my settings or a screenshot of the game? Will do though, right now, I just need to rest my brain, its fried from all this foolery hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
