Hi the other day i decided to start working on my mame machine again. since my laptop power supply died i haven't had a computer to put in it... but i went out and bought a power supplyjust to find that one of my motherboards was dead....i found another one and started working on that, it was quite a chore since i didn't have a cd drive for drivers and the like... after working on that for about 3 hours i finally got mame32 on it and was about to load asteroids and the computer reset and went to the bios screen and stopped working, i reset it, it didn't get into windows, i tried again, i got into windows and the the graphics got all screwy... and it froze... now it doesn't start at all, and i had proper cooling for it ??? i am currently using a pentium 100 that can BARELY run pacman without sound >:( does anyone have ANY idea wtf is wrong with this board? is it the graphics card? is it the processor? i am getting desperate to play some pacman and double dragon... :'( |

Look for "swollen" or leaking capacitors on the board. |
| menace:
for a pentium 100, use vantage or an older build of mame--will run it flawlessly--newer mame builds are more processor intensive, I assume mame32's GUI needs some more horsepower as well. |
| Nailz:
Like Menace said, older version of Mame, ditch Mame32 and try to run it in DOS if you can on something like ArcadeOS. |
