Hi Dee2er, I kept it at 240p..works really good so im going the "if it works to break it" route ;-) Love the Arpicade man it's awesome, i went bloating it all with video-snaps for all game, even the console ones :D I got the genesis and pc engine, playstation and arcades with mame & fba..im very hap...

what is strange is i see that there is some code in the advmame.sh script that should prevent vertical games from being stretched:

(Please note I am usin...

think i found the issue with controls lost in advmame after switching back from a mame172 game
In mame172's mame.ini file i modified the following:

keyboardprovider "auto" -> "raw"

that seem to have solved it, more testing needed but so far so good

Hi Dee2er, (yep, finally got the name right sorry about that... :D ) were you able to try-out the "Riding Fight" game? :-) It's a blast, i have it running on a ubuntu arcade dedicated pc with groovymame, i would love to have this one working on the arpicade (i have a pi 3, not the latest pi3 B+ ) in...
