Home Page Forums MAME Non-Windows MAME Support SDLMAME (Test 1B now available!)

There is a bug with fullscreen. If mame is closed being in fullscreen it doesn't return to the original resolution.

I have been looking the source to fix it, but i'm no sure. Do you have any type of documentation for the source ?

I assume you mean on Linux, because I don't see this on the Mac. Anyway, it's not a bug in SDLMAME: it happens with certain combinations of SDL, the xorg 7.x servers, and the NVidia binary drivers. It went away either from an xorg update issued by Fedora or the newest 8762 NV drivers, I don't know which specifically because I applied both at the same time.

Yes, sorry. I'm on linux, with xorg 7.0 and nvidia binary drivers. Seems that i have that weird combination.

Actually, it may yet be a problem on this end. My ancient binary based on 0.93 doesn't do it, but current does. And my WIP NEStopia port (also using SDL) doesn't do it either. I'll bet something isn't getting shut down properly.

Incidentally, on FC5 or other modern distros you can usually restore the right mode by blind-typing 'xrandr -o 0' (that's lowercase O then the number zero). If your focus lands on an xterm/konsole/whatever after MAME exits, that'll usually work, although sometimes I don't get mouse control back.

UPDATE: That wascally Giles no longer calls osd_quit() from the core, so SDL_Quit() is therefore missing too. Yeearrrgh.

ONCE MORE WITH FEELING: Fixes are now up on my blog - both a "test1b" full archive (which in reality only changes src/sdl/sdlmain.c) and a zip with just the changed file.
