for linux, you can use: device_video SDL fb slang which can take advantage of graphics drivers. you need to make sure that sdl, framebuffer and slang are indeed installed. also, the user account must be allowed to use these drivers/devices. root takes care of this problem. in windows, only svgawin, sdl, and auto is allowed. |

Isn't svgawin the Win equivalent of doing SDL fb slang in Linux? |

But are the features any different? |
| tikbalang:
the features would be the same, but svgawin would be faster since the display is not stretched to the default windows screen size. most probably, SDL is at work when in windows. you can tell when you go to the video menu in-game, and look at the clock frequencies: "0/0/0". i think SDL performance can be improved if windows desktop is purposely set to a much lower resolution. by default, XP's minimum is 800*600 but there is a trick out there to allow 640*480. at least, that's how i understand how advmame works. |
