V3.84 disable ROM scanning and game issue

[cool_factor]

Dont see the entries Im use to to disable rom scanning on start up, how do you do it now?


Also tac-scan opens too large on screen again. Cant find the lines I used last time to fix that Dee2er told me to do.

Heres the fix from v3.83:

## horizontal monitor settings
# vertical game on horizontal monitor
elif [ $rot == 90 ] || [ $rot == 270 ]; then
aconfig="-keepaspect -unevenstretch -nosyncrefresh -nowaitvsync -throttle"
#vector settings
elif [ $screen == vector ]; then
aconfig="-keepaspect -unevenstretch -nosyncrefresh -nowaitvsync -throttle"
# 480p high res settings (untested at other res)
elif [ $hdmimode == hdmi_mode=1 ]; then
aconfig="-unevenstretch"
else
# low res horizontal monitor settings
aconfig="-intscaley 1 -unevenstretchx -uifont uismall.bdf"
fi

heres v3.84:

## horizontal monitor settings
# vertical game on horizontal monitor
elif [ $rot == 90 ] || [ $rot == 270 ]; then
aconfig="-keepaspect -unevenstretch -nosyncrefresh -nowaitvsync -throttle -uifont uismall.bdf"
# 480p high res settings (untested at other res)
elif [ $hdmimode == hdmi_mode=1 ]; then
aconfig="-unevenstretch"
else
# low res horizontal monitor settings
aconfig="-intscaley 1 -unevenstretchx -uifont uismall.bdf"
fi

Do I just add in the vector settings as seen? Dont want to screw anything up..

to disable the new rom scanner in 3.84 look for this bit in run.sh:

## Scan roms for Attract-Mode list
## accepts 1 command 'all' 'arcade' 'console' 'acnoporn' or 'allnoporn'
bash /boot/launchers/ScanRoms_V007.sh allnoporn >/dev/null 2>&1

and hash out the bash line like you would have with the old one.

I must have lost that vectors change myself at some point, I must have made it on a test build that didn't go anywhere or something... It should be safe to add back. Looks like it should fit in the same place. Back the file up first to be safe and you shouldn't have any issues.

Ill give it a try.. thanks!

Adding those lines did nothing. Still loading incorrectly. That fix worked on v3.83 but not v3.84, guessing something else is missing.

What file do you edit for that vector fix?

[cool_factor]

download/file.php?id=85 this is the fix for v3.83, doesnt work with 3.84.

[dee2eR]

sorry, right you are it doesn't work with 3.84. Not sure what the difference is. I'll try and figure it out and update.

EDIT:
I've figured it out. There are two variables in the launcher that have been commented out (not used without the extra vector settings lines) you will need to uncomment for the special vector settings to work. Look for the type= and screen= lines.

What file do you edit for that vector fix?

this was for mame172

[cool_factor]

Here is the modified mame172.sh in the Launchers folder per what Dee2er explained how to fix. This is for V3.84 only at this point.

Great, thanks.
