me again... I got it to work, it looks great, however, new questions occured. I managed to get some of the games work at the regular settings, the others will get a picture that is unstable, bunch of lines that is. I assume it has to do everything with the right resolution. I am not sure where exactly I enter those custom resolutions, is it into the mame software, or??? anyways, thanks for the help Sailor, 15khz worked after 4-5 hours of headache... I had to tweak thsoe little knowbs in the back of my monitor, but as I said, if I want to play those games with shakey picture I will have to re-tweak... so, eh long night
larsoncc:
I have some questions, to see what I should be attempting next... I have Soft-15khz running, but:
1. If higher resolutions don't work (640x480 and up), is that an issue with my monitor (WG 25K7193) or Video Card (tried GeForce 3 and GeForce 6200)? Or is this perhaps an issue with QuickRes (not displaying interlaced resolutions)?
2. Is this project open source? I'd like to modify the form to fit into a 640x240 screen, and position the buttons to the top of the form.
3. NOOB MAME/MAME32 questions: How do I force games into SMALLER resolutions (example, I'm running 640x240, want to run Ms. Pac Man [288], best I've done so far is cut off the bottom 48 px). Is there a way to change the button for ESC (exit game) and in MAME 32, a way to change the "launch game" button from Enter to something else?
PS - one thing that I've found very useful in this experience is Remote Desktop in /admin (console) mode, and pinning the start bar to the top of the screen. :)

Cannot help you with first two questions but might be able to help you with this one. If I remember well (and I am not next to my computer to be able to check that out), in mame32, once you start a ROM you may press TAB on your keyboard and it will give you a few pretty good options... change your general controls / change your in-game controls (for that particular ROM you have just started), a very good option is game information (if your ROM does not work on your arcade system and it works on your LCD, and you are wondering what resolution you might need for certain non-working roms... you can find it here - correct me if I am wrnong) and finally, there is a user interface controls (or something similiar at the bottom), here you can change ESC function and ENTER function and so on...
Now my question is:
I have managed to get most of my Mame32 ROMs work perfectlly fine, however, there are few that I cannot play due to a, what I believe to be, sync/resolution issue (funny lines and z picture or somthing like that) wel, I am in a need of the resolutions for those games... pac-man, mr. pac-man, vs super mario bros, vs dr mario, lode runne (1,2,3,4) galaga88... any help out there?!
Thanks
