Screen "flickering" in MAME
councilface:
How would I find out if my video is onboard. Apologies but im only semi PC literate. I understand that I can find this out by entering DXDIAG in the run command but Im unsure where to look after I've done this.
Within reason Im quite happy to spend a bit on my PC to get some of the more modern games running (and the older games running smooth). Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved.
I forgot to say, the flickering/stuttering only happens after playing on my cab for a while. Dunno if this helps.
Thanks for reading.

The way to tell if it's onboard or not is to check where your monitor plugs in. If it's off by itself in a slot, it's not onboard. If everything else you plug in is right up against it, it's probably onboard.

Its about 5 years old I guess. I stole it from my Mrs.
Would my lack of Ram be the reason that newer games (PS based I think) seem to stutter/slowdown massively?
Would be lovely to have a few games of radiant silvergun :cheers:

your incredibly weak processor would be the reason. you need a top-end core 2 duo to run the newer stuff.
