HOW TO CHECK NATIVE GAME RESOLUTIONS IN MAME PC

To get around that problem, MAME tells the VGA card to stretch the image to fit the PC resolution. These arcade resolutions could not, until now, be displayed in Windows on a PC monitor. This is needed because most arcade games do not use PC resolutions suchas 640 X 480, 1024 X 768 etc. When you run most MAME games, a process called Hardware Stretch is used. What is the benefit of this card? My ordinary card seems to work fine with MAME.

The ArcadeVGA card allows a no-hassle way to emulate the video logic of an original game board without having to use any special drivers or configuration, and, for the first time, also allows this to work in Windows. The boot and DOS screens can never be displayed correctly using ordinary cards. Most standard cards will not allow the pixel clock to drop low enough for low resolution modes such as 320 X240. Sometimes even cards with "known good" chipsets will not work owing to having a different OEM BIOS. Even if you can get the card to display 640 X 480 at 15Khz that is nowhere near the capability ofthe ArcadeVGA since there are 30 other lower resolutions available when using this card. Also you can never really be certain that your card will work at all, at 15khz. This has always been a problem area though.Advanced MAME is notoriously difficult to configure. Yes it is true that some older cards can be configured to output a15Khz horizontal scan, by using special drivers, or by functionality built into applications such as Advanced MAME. Why do I need a special card? I thought ordinary VGA cards can work with arcade monitors.
