How to set the degree of stretching?
02/05/13 05:29 PM


Hi,
I've got a little problem with my MAME configuration and I thought that maybe you could help me.

I have an LCD monitor with a resolution of 1360x768 pixels.
I play "Street Fighter II" which has a native resolution of 384x224 pixels.

This is my command line call:
mame sf2ua -video ddraw -nohws -view native

With this configuration, MAME will strech the game image as much as it can with interger ratios. So, on my screen, the game will be stretched three times which results in an image of 1152x672 pixels (with the rest being put in black bars). Because that's the largest size possible. If I just had a screen of 800x600 pixels, the game would be stretched to 768x448 (i.e. two times).

Alright, so far, so good.
Now my question:

What do I have to do to get a smaller image? In the moment, MAME stretches the game three times because that's what the screen is capable of. But what can I do if I just want it to be stretched two times?

The reason is: My screen is widescreen, but I always sit right in front of it. For computer work it's alright, but if I play a game, the image is too big for me. So, I'd like MAME to use not the maximum possible stretching, but the one that I set manually. (Like: Use the original resolution and stretch it 2x2 times, even though you could use 3x3.)

Is that possible? How can I do this? How can I tell MAME that, despite the screen's resolution of 1360x768, it shall only stretch the game twice and not three times?
