Hi
I am pissed off. i cant get my machine running how i want. I tried GL it works great. 2 problems though. hidding the windows system stuff, and scanlines..they do not go nice and deep like MAME32. I tried using mame 32 and it looks and plays great, but when used with GL the scanlines etc do not work? any ideas please. I love GL ease of use, but i need mame to look good

The scanlines is a mame thing, not a gl thing... you need to check mame's configuration files.

To hide the "windows system stuff" your only real option is to change the "shell" entry in your win.ini file to point to gl.  This will lock you out of windows though and make it a dedicated machine.  The only way to get back to the windows desktop after this is to boot into dos and re-edit the win.ini file.  

Btw, making a heading like "I'm ticked" isn't the best way to get help. These are very noob problems and saying your so angry over them just shows your impatience and lack of research.  

Hope that helps.

I tried to set shell=arcadeos.exe and it just made my system hang. Is there something else I need to do for that to work?

Thanks

Hi,
I am frustrated that is all sorry bout that. I still cant get mame to be FULL SCREEN with scanlines. You have to turn hwstretch off to get them, but then the screen is not full size. I have checked all the faqs on mame and this is what it said to do on mame official faq. Says no scanlines if u go hwstretch.

As for hidding windows. i thought there would be a decent program to do this? I have had no luck though :(  Other than that, things are running good.

Howard_Casto:
ArcadeOs is goofy... if im not mistaken you have to replace shell with a bat  file that launches aos to use it as your shell.  

so make a bat file that says:

cd\
c:
cd path
cd to
cd aos
aos.exe

or whatever your equivelent is
