How to reduce size of in-game configuration menu?
#258864 - 07/02/11 01:59 PM


I updated to MAME 0.143 to try HLSL. How do I reduce the size of the in-game configuration menu (Tab key)? In particular, the Slider Controls menu covers almost the entire screen, making it difficult to see what I'm adjusting.

I'm running WinXP, GeForce 9600GT, and 2560x1600 display.

Just use the tilde (~) version of the sliders instead.

Good idea! Thank you.

I also experimented with the -uifont option and my narrow TrueType fonts, trying to make the Tab menu narrower. I was successful, except for a few fonts that MAME wouldn't load. Then I realized that MAME seems to be truncating the Windows font name to 31 characters, so I need to specify a truncated name too. For example:

The full font name didn't work:
-uifont "Univers LT 39 Thin Ultra Condensed"

But this worked:
-uifont "Univers LT 39 Thin Ultra Conden"

Most people won't have the Univers font, but I discovered a Windows built-in font that displays very narrow:
-uifont "System"
