ArcadeVGA card and Direct 3D

I do have the older AVGA 7200 and I installed drivers I got dowloaded from this forum somewhere.  I had problems with the drivers provided on the CD.  I will check the exact driver version when I get home.  If we ruled out Direct X 9.0 then I suspect it might be a resolution setting because I can run the emulators in a normal window but get the error when I switch to full screen.

 :-[ Well don't I feel very silly now...  I completely forgot that the ArcadeVGA card didn't support 320x240.  I made a custom resolution of 321x240 in FCEU and bingo - it went full screen.  Thanks!

Yup that did the trick! FCEU now works.  I think VirtuaNes is better though and I would like to get that running but it doesn't have a custom res setting.

Argh, all is not well for me afterall.  I needed to setup a 180 degree monitor rotation for my cocktail cabinet in the ATI Control Panel.  Once I did that I started getting the same "DirectDraw: Error Setting Display Mode" error, regardless of the resolution.  Any thoughts?
Troz:
Still no luck no matter what I do.  Can someone else with an ArcadeVGA and FCE Ultra try this?  Rotate your screen 180 in the ATI Control Panel and try running FECU in fullscreen mode.  Thanks.
