Arcade VGA Safe Mode Woes
Knoxximus:
I have an Ultimarc Arcade VGA caed installed on the PC I'm MAMEming. I'm stuck in this endless reboot loop, and when I try to get into safe mode to install the AVGA specific drivers, it's like computer doesn't even know that "F8" even exists. Is there somekind of secret trick to successfully access safe mode? ???
SirPeale:
So...on boot, just before the OS starts, and you start hammering away @ F8, it does nothing?
This is on Windows 98, right?
Knoxximus:
I got XP.....but yeah, I start hammering and it will either freeze on the initial screen or keep on going to the reboot.
SirPeale:
Odd...XP should give you the option. I doubt it's ArcadeVGA related, though.
Have you tried swapping another card to see if the result is the same?
wboy:
Can remember of the top of my head, but you may be able to access Safe Mode if you try booting from the XP CD again. I know it has repair options when you do it... but that said, it may not take you exactly to safe mode as such.
