Since our monitors are horizontal, and gunsmoke is a vertical game (unless you are turning yours sideways) you can't run the native resolution for it. Usually you can get pretty close, and you definitely have more options than without Soft15Khz. I've got all my horizontal games looking spectacular, but I've yet to mess with Gunsmoke to see if I can get it looking good. Also, your Nieman is (probably) not a digital multisync. This means that you can really only configure it for either 15Khz OR 31Khz. In otherwords, you can configure it to work with low rez games in mame at 15Khz, but if you're popping back to your front end and it is running at 640x480 (31Khz), it just aint gonna look right. You need digital memory in there to remember the screen settings for each resolution, and I don't believe the Niemans can do this. I think if I had a Nieman, I'd probably just stick to 640x480, use the default video setting of D3D (don't turn off filtering), and use set prescaling to 2 to sharpen it a bit. This is what I was doing before I made the switch and it looked pretty decent. |

I said you can use any version for this just a tip the (US Set 2) levels 3 and 6 are swapped. So when your on level 3 using US Set 2 The Indian Chief (which really is supposed to be level 6 on all other rom versions)you can earn alot of pts. but it's alot more difficult than the traditional level 3 (The Ninja. on US Set1,World,Japan set). The Indian Chief Level has many hidden dragon flies in the barrels worth 10,000 pts. ea. Also along with Stars, & cows... and when you kill the enemies on that level they are worth more pts. Also the Indian Chief I think is worth 85,000 pts alone but he is usually difficult to beat, just try to retain one of the 3x horses found on that level! Its a good early way to rack up your score but the level like I said is alot more difficult. |
