Does anyone have a config that I can use or would recommend?

DirkDiggler_ESQ:

I have a K7400 and have been running AdvanceMame via DOS.  I was never able to really get all of my resolutions set quite right, but it was tolerable.  Now with the demise of AdvanceMame, I'm trying to figure out the best way to re-do my box.

With the current setup, I am using a Radeon 9200, but I also have an ArcadeVGA.  I can install either Windows 98 or XP.

I'm willing to purchase a different video card if it means that someone has a similar setup and I can just use a copy of their config.  I've always had a real problem in the past getting the resolution and sizing exactly right and didn't know if some of the newer video changes in Mame would make this job any easier.

Thanks!

Take a look here (these settings are for the newer versions of MAME with the video rewrite):

I still have one of the original ArcadeVGA cards based off of the 7200 I think.  Will those settings still work with it?

I've now also just gotten a hold of an FX5200 and I'm trying to figure out which would be the best card to use with my K7400; the old ArcadeVGA, the FX5200, or the 9200.

Yep they should work fine as long as you are using a recent version of MAME (v0.108 or above).

DirkDiggler_ESQ:

I finally got around to working on this.

Got XP installed and the ArcadeVGA driver.  Since the spec sheet for the K7400 says that the resolution is 640 x 200, would it be best to set the Windows resolution to 640 x 288 or 640 x 480 assuming it doesn't look too small or flicker too much?

Thanks!
