Vista VS front end?
<< < (6/8) > >>
Visitor Q:
I could never get mame64 to compile right, I am going to try again with the next version.
brpadington:
I tried running Vista 64 on my cab but ultimately abandoned the idea due to the long boot time. I wasnt able to obtain a copy of xp 64bit so i went with Ubuntu Hardy X64. The boot time is amazing and the speed improvement was apparent instantly. When i had xp i had to run antivirus and anti spyware all the time due to my cab being connected to my wireless network.

 I just wish i could get  Mortal Kombat 4 for Pc to work in wine. :angry:

FYI: MaLa works fine under Vista (if you must use it)  if you change the Apperance settings to something other than Aero    ;D
drventure:
Loadman's right about aero.

I was having piles of problems with screen flashing and bad rendering till I turned off aero.

Now, it works flawlessly, as far as I can tell.

About the ridiculous pop ups. Just turn off UAC. Doing that, Vista is just as secure as XP, and you get no more irritating prompts.

But even with UAC turned on, once you've got the cab setup, you shouldn't ever hit any of them...

I've tried MaLa and Maximus
and the both work, but with little gliches I'd like to avoid on a cab

I know, I know use XP ;)
But I'd like to take advantage of vista64 and mame 64

Does anything run nice with Vista?
Why not try Xp x64? I'm sure you'd find a "trial copy" handy enough on the web.
I use Windows XPSE on my arcade and am delighted with its performance P4 Dual core, 2gb ram, arcadevga

P.S
Is windows 7 not the future?
