MAME Core Resolution Issues

RetroArch Android devices
#1

I’m using the MAME core on Retroarch for Android, on an NVidia Shield Android TV. If I start these games under default settings, they display at a terrible resolution and the backtrounds shift and pixelate. If I enable “threaded video” under the main options and “alternate render method” in the MAME options, the problem seems to be fixed, but this overrides my Shader settings.

Is there a way to fix these display issues and use shaders as well?

the latest mame core has some weird resolution issues, yes. We haven’t come up with a good solution for that yet. In the meantime, we would direct you to one of the other cores, such as mame2003 or FBA. Those are both using old ROMsets, though…

Are there any plans for mame2014 to be back in the cores updater?

I used to have it working until I reinstalled everything and found it wasn’t available anymore.

I have been unable to figure out the file permissions to get it working by manually adding it to the cores directory (thanks a lot android security).

Thank you!

edit: had the wrong mame core version listed above, just fixed it
