defianceEgyptia Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 When i start a mame rom in launchbox, the window does not cover my entire screen. Any thoughts on how to correct this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 What do you mean exactly ? Do you mean Mame is opening in windowed mode or do you mean that the gameplay screen is not filling in all the black space ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open MAME Select Configure Options Select Video Options Select Window Mode and set it to Off Hit Escape Select Save Configuration (this is important, or all is lost) Hit Escape Exit MAME Return to LaunchBox Play games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Or you can edit the mame.ini file and look for the following section and set window to 0 instead of 1. # # OSD VIDEO OPTIONS # video auto numscreens 1 window 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duhmez Posted Wednesday at 04:42 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:42 AM I had the same issue. HOwever, when I go ito mame options,VIDEO, there are only 2 settings, neither of them let me change windowed or full screen. Neither did going to tools>manage emulators> then I added -window to the command line in launchbox not working. Finally I did edit the mame.ini file in the mame root directory and set window to 1 rather than zero. This finally fixed it. If anyone reads this, do the opposite if u want ful screen, set it to 0 For the record, I am using the base command line mame.exe, maybe this is why I had no video options in mame itself. The screenshot of the guy in an earlier post did not match my mame video setting at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
