Config piMame?

Hi everyone, especially to Shea :)

I just wonder if there is a config-file for piMame?
Every config I have made so far have been in the /boot/config.txt file.

Well, there is the /boot/config.txt file for the Raspberry Pi itself.

What kind of extra configurations would you like PiMAME to have?

There are configs for advmenu and advmame written in ~/.advance

I found .advance in $HOME, and last time I checked it, it was empty.

I have problems with the configuration of the width of the display.
You see, I have rotated the display 270 degrees (display_rotate=3 in /boot/config.txt), to play for example Gun Smoke in TATE. The Mame interface looks good and fills up the screen, but when a game have been picked (in this case, Gun Smoke), the picture shows like a small line.
Can I create a config-file for each particular game?

I forgot to mention that I use a SD-TV with mode 1 (4:3 ratio).

on the command line, if you type:
ls ~/.advance
there should be a bunch of files. If you don't have any files there, then something might be wrong with your install. Once I know if you have any files there, I can assist more.

Thanks!

I'm home now and had some time over to spend for Raspberry Pi.
Yes, I saw now that .advance (you just have to type in "ls -a" in your home directory, to list all files, include .*-files), contained some excellent files. Don't know how I could miss that before. Big thanks anyway. Don't have time right now to read and try different setups, but will write back when I have, in case more ppl have their thoughts on setting up something similar.

Howdy, Stranger!
