Not all but some do...It does work really well though I must say.

Which version of mame are you using? I use mameuifx and I've got a romcenter tool to check them all. Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that rom in particular, but it will go through and check out some of your other roms. Games usually load up instantly as far as I can tell, I'm running mine on a pentium 4 with 1 gig of ram and it doesn't take that long to load up the roms.

99% of the roms load instantly - I chose Metal Slug 5 for the test because it's one of three games I could find that actually take long to load. I loaded that one on purpose. That game actually shows a progress on the screen while loading 1%...25%...50%...75% etc. That game and a couple that needed Chud files take longer to load.
The main reason I chose that game for the test was because we were hearing skipping in the audio. We installed a new video card and a soundblaster max card that I got for free (SCORE!!!) and that was the first time we were going to run Metal Slug 5 since the new hardware was installed and the video was on the screen.
As the video shows theres no jumping in the audio and the game plays fine. I'm going to use this game for testing on everything because it makes the machine work a lot harder than running Pacman for instance.
This is the only game I will have on my play list that doesn't load instantly. I'll put up another vid once I get back up to the house tomorrow so you guys can see its fast and awesome :)

I have a little a few monitor issues I need to post pix of but one problem is the same at this guys post
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=107613.0
We adjusted 2 pots on the flyback (I think) - One was a focus and one was a brightness - Black little box with the red wire connected to the monitor cup thing.
Where is this "Screen" pot?????? I'm pretty sure they are retrace lines because my picture looks exactly the same but my lines are green.
I guess my question is where is this 3rd Pot on the flyback? I don't see it.
I also have a 1/2" wavy spot at the top of the monitor I'll need to take pictures of. I'm sure this is common.
Cap kit? :badmood:
