Hi Renier :)
I think is possible for using the integrated videocard. Most of us use ATI video cards (radeon 9000series, x300, x600, hd4000 series, and some more). You can try to test with some Ati videocard with your system?
Maybe this is the problem.

I've now installed GA and have tested a selection of roms. Almost all the roms I'd want work, but I'm having some weird problems with a few roms. For example with NbaJam/NbajaTE I don't have any picture. Soud works and the game "works", but no picture at all. Also as I tried Mappy, I got "out of range" shown on my standard svga lcd monitor osd.
How can I test the groovymame from/in the shell, so that I'd see any possible errors?
Please not that I'm running a standard svga lcd monitor for now. later I'm hooking up the new 25" MAKVISION :)
Thanks :)

Hi Renier, does it get to the point where the logo is shown? If that's the case, press ESC as soon as you see the logo to exit the logo screen and see the boot sequence.

Launch LXDE (change AdvMenu by LXDE in the corresponding gasetup menu), then open a terminal there, so you can launch GroovyMAME from command line: groovymame romname
If you want to create a log: groovymame romname -v -md 4 > romname.txt
I'd expect to get all sort of 'out of range' displays when testing GA on a SVGA monitor, unless you create a specific monitor_specs that meets your exact monitor, a futile effort if you ask me.
Installing GA with a SVGA monitor and then moving to an arcade one causes some issues, in my experience. They can be solved easily once you know what needs to be touched, anyway.

Thanks Calamity :) Yes, I know about the "risks" of using another monitor for installation, but I just wanted toi save time and do the computer tinkering before I get the monitor. I hope my time saving effort suceeds ;)
I guess I'll leave the problematic games untouched at this point and wait till I get the Makvision and suitable modelines.
Thanks one again!
