WTF happened to EasyMAMEcab website?
<< < (2/5) > >>

Thanks Saint!

Now for the $50,000.00 question:

AGP video cards are obsolete.  You can find them here and there and I have a few extras lying around, but the real problem is that you cannot purchase a new MB w/ an AGP slot...
 
Has anyone tried any PCI or PCI express cards in the same Linux SVGAlib configuration as the EZMAME setup?  Any recommendations?  Desmatic, MRH, Whammoed, Elvis?

Is it even possible now that AdvMAME is no longer under development and may not even have the drivers?
 
Thanks,

Not True
Asrock do a few boards
I have one myself
http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=ConRoe865PE
there are other brands too

Also they still make Radeon and Matrox agp cards
Turnarcades:
I think there may be many easier solutions these days that do the same job as detailed on that site. Seeing as the technology/software is now becoming obsolete, you may do better to look at current solutions.
Ummon:
I don't think there's anything that does what Advavncemame can do in it's entirety. And I'm using a PCIe card with it, so no problems there. Also, I happened to look up Easymamecab and it's back around, whether by Twisty's hand or what I don't know.

Ummon,

Thanks, but:

Can you please amplify your answer?  :)

Are you able to get native modes with your video setup?

I doubt highly that a PCIe will display @ 15kHz w/ low pclocks in any thing but Linux or DOS.  What is your OS?

What you using for your Video display?  SVGA, LCD, TV, CRT, D9200? 

What video card is this PCIe? 

What are you using for your device_video = parameter in your advmame.rc file? 

What about these parameters: device_video_pclock? device_video_hclock? device_video_vclock?

Again here is my question:
