PC

I am not suggesting you use mame32 on your cab but just download it as suggested before to use as a diagnostic tool to check your video out.  If your card does not support hardware stretching, this option will be disabled in Mame32.  This way you know for sure if you need to go buy a pci video card that supports hardware stretching.

Ahhhhhhh. Good idea. I'll give that a try...Thanks wahmmo!

Just checked an ATI rage 128 and it has hardware stretching.  If you need a card this could be a good option as they are fairly cheap and I have seen them in PCI.

I'm guessing that your video is onboard.  Not *always* a bad thing, what's the chipset  for the video?

And to dispell a myth, sometimes the video card *does* matter.  I've got a couple of PCI cards that give me about 3 FPS.  Don't remember what their chipsets were, but they had like 512k RAM on board.  I had one with 2M that did the same.  Don't remember the chipset on that one either.
