ArcadeVGA with PC monitor (and running DOS)
<< < (3/4) > >>
esaelectrionics:
im running arcadevga 2 ,the system boots into dos and is using glaunch FE ,
I have it set to triple buffers and it is totally smooth no tearing
and no jumping in scrolling in 15khz or 30khz.
The sound works fine with no crackling.
im using a sblive dos driver with DPMI installed also which i had heard conflicts with my soundcard.
Under windows XP/windows 98 I cannot get scrolling and ultra smooth screen update in any way, no matter what settings ive used,it is quite good under windows but dos is much smoother if setup well.
I am really pleased with the system,the colours are a little dull but apart from that its really running nice and solid.

im running mame 0.79 for dos at the moment.

I got a reply from Andy that ADVMAME is not COMPATIBLE with the NEW AVGA Cards (not supported). I could not get any MODELINES or just to start ADVV at all w/ ADvmenu/Advmame.  :'(

Hopefully, if there will be a BIG SURPRISE from Andrea, that a NEW and IMPROVED Advemene/ADvmame and supports the NEW AVGA cards, I will also be in heaven like the rest of us (hey, I can dream can't I ? ) (HINT HINT ANDREA)     :applaud:

I thought advmame was no longer supported, thus no longer being updated for new MAME versions?

At any rate, after much research, I have gone with a PCI-E ArcadeVGA. I ordered the parts to build a new pc for it go in, and by the weekend I should have a testbed to test which OS/ FE / MAME version / settings I like for my setup. The home tv, although widescreen, accepts SCART RGB inputs. I have an old VGA cable and a SCART connector, so will rig up a cable to test the computer's output.

Exciting times ahead. Maybe its time I put a Project Announcements thread up...
shorthair:
I'm still wondering why people are wanting to use Advmame with an avga?...they both do the same thing, except Advmame does more and supports many common cards. The avga is much less effor to get rolling, but Advmame has more options.
