I'll give it a try once it's done downloading. I'm rigging up my VGA to RGB cable for my IIgs monitor right now as a first test subject.

So if im want to put this on a USB drive (as i dont have a cd drive on my arcade PC) how do i go about going that with the iso file on your github page?
arfink:
Are you going to try to burn the USB from Windows or from Linux? If in Windows, please use Rufus.

If you are doing it in Linux, that gets a little more complicated and you'll want to see if your distro has a USB writing tool built in. Many do.

Well, I seem to be having some weird issues getting this to work. When I boot off the USB, the automatic detection actually works about 50% of the time. If it somehow auto-selects a 240p mode my monitor (an Apple IIgs RGB color monitor) will display without issues, however sometimes it will seemingly pick a 480i mode, which the IIgs monitor doesn't know how to handle, so the image is too tall but is otherwise clear and synced. Speaking of sync, this monitor wants composite sync, but is happy with H and V sync just tied together, no issues there.
Once booted successfully I can set things up in gasetup to force 320x240 mode for X, etc, and it plays nicely. However, once I install to the HDD it doesn't remember my settings and I'm not able to get it to display. It picks the wrong output port (DVI-1, instead of VGA-1) and uses the wrong sync, even when I tell it otherwise. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
Also, I'm fairly sure the old Phenom II I'm running doesn't have enough muscle for this version of Mame, as World Rally drops to 50% speed most of the time. :P

You can burn it on a USB pen, no problem, that's what I do.
