Yes, I'd try another video card. Easiest way to test. Do you have cwsdpmi.exe? I'm sure you do, it'd complain otherwise. There was a recent thread in the software forum regarding your problem, and the 'solution' was to have cwsdpmi load before each game. I think it was: cwsdpmi -x and then the game. Don't quote me on that. |
| Tiger-Heli:
Here's the thread Peale was talking about (I think): http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,28999.0.html Looks like you need CWSdpmi Version 5, but you can launch it with the -p -x options in your autoexec.bat. But this is just for Vantage, not the funky MAME graphics prob, AFAICT. |
| OSCAR:
Yeah, forgot to add that I'm also using cwsdpmi ver 5. I'll have to try Vantage again with those flags for cwsdpmi and see if I can get it to fire up. I haven't tried advancemame with this video card yet, I have to see which drivers (vbeline, svgaline, etc) it is supported by and see if I can get some decent screens with it. The darn thing is, I'm just this close to making plain 'ole DOS MAME work perfectly if it weren't for that stupid smear. Ah, maybe I'll get some time this weekend to dink around with it some more. Thanks again everyone! |

Just advancemame a shot, with the right card it's video support is leaps and bounds above dmame. (I can even play satan's hollow in the original res on my monitor.) Later, dabone |
| OSCAR:
Success!! Definitely a MAME problem. Thanks for the suggestions on Vantage with the cwsdpmi flags, that did it. The nasty smear is gone and Vantage looks fantastic on this setup. I can't believe how easy Vantage is to configure once you have it running. Full screen on the games with no tweaking, using an antique Rage II video card, and plain 'ole DOS. Thanks again for the help, all! |
