I totally don't know whether to use DOS or Windows anymore, or even what front end for that matter. I have been using ArcadeOS under DOS for a long time now, but a lot of the games don't go full screen, and I want to use hardware stretching.. and after reading around here, it seems there's no reason -not- to use Windows..
Here are my machine specs:
Arcade Cabinet / Arcade Monitor
ATI 3D Rage Pro Video Card
PIII 500mhz
128 MB RAM
Soundblaster 16
What I'm worried about is hooking this up and blowing out my arcade monitor when I load Windows due to not having the proper video settings or whatever I need to get it to work.. I'm pretty in the dark about that.. can someone point me to some help? I am pretty much terrified of blowing out my arcade monitor, so I've been very hesistant to mess with anything.
Also, if someone can recommend a Windows front end that supports MAME, Nesticle, KGen98, etc, and can get the games to run full screen.. it would be much appreciated.
Thanks for any help,
Chad
