rxd Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Does anyone know how to completely, utterly, permanently lock Windows 7 screen resolution to 800x600 60hz? The pc in my Mame cab died so I replaced it with a Windows 7 64 bit pc and it works surprisingly well (a few emulators don't work but there are others i can use instead) except for 1 issue that's driving me nuts. Some games I have think they know better than me and change the screen resolution which causes my monitor to go over range and screws everything up. There was a way to force XP to only allow 1 resolution but I can't find a similar setting in Windows 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated....

rxd Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Nobody knows how to do this? Or is it that nobody else has this problem? Kind of surprised about this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Are the games screwing up XP's screen resolution or do the games themselves in MAME need their resolution changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxd Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Mame is fine. I have a bunch of casual pc games by Popcap and Big Fish etc that are doing this. Actually other than Meka completely locking up emulation seems to work surprisingly well. It's just those pop cap/big fish etc games. But some of them were quite popular with my friends.

mbd30 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Just make sure "switch resolutions to fit" is unchecked in the screen menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 If you're still having issues, you can force resolutions using MultiRes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
