i tried modifiying the latest build, for the life of me i cant get the roms to run. im using winxp ntfs. any help? note: i used to have no problems whatsoever with other versions. |

where did you put the roms? After you unzip the downloaded advcd pentium file put the roms in the folder: arcade\rom and then execute the createimage file (or whatever it's called?). It creates the .iso file which you then burn to CD. The roms are built into the iso. |

For that you need drivers which support TV out. Currently AdvanceMAME supports FBDev (no TV-out support), SVGALib (no TV-out support), and SDL via X (TV-out support, dependant on the driver you use). Also it's worth noting that the PAL and NTSC TV settings in the advcfg utility are for people who desire to build their own RGB hacks to output direct from the analogue DSUB15 on most video cards straight into RGB input on a TV (ie: SCART, etc). Arcade monitor support is there, but you have to change the config file manually. This step was done on purpose to prevent not so bright people from destroying their PC monitors. Consider it a litmus test: if you have to ask HOW to add support for real arcade hardware, then you probably shouldn't be doing it. |

Bah! litmus test.. I'd say that would bethe case 50% of the time. I have modified the config for this by adding my own .rc file to whatever \dir that it was sappose to go in but it is very tough to get the arcade monitors to werk with it. do we have any advance Cd gurus in this forum? thx d88 |

yeah i have alot of questions about advcd, i want 2 player,6 -button support. i know how to edit the .rcs, like picoing in linux and make extract make app etc. but when i get the app.img file i copy it to a windows box and put it in the root folder. lately i cant get it to work anymore, im pretty sure i got the roms in the rom folder. im using an xp ntfs setup, will this affect the cd image created? |
