Title: mame and display issue?
Post by: pbGames on September 22, 2013, 07:17:01 am

Hi,
  I am currently trying to convert an arcade machine into a mame.  I have a dual core pc and running windows xp.  I have a monitor connected to the pc via the motherboards VGA. I have downloaded mame 150 and when I run it from the command prrompt I get the following message.  Is this because I am using the motherboard driver?

C:\MAME>mame
Proposed video mode not supported on device \\.\DISPLAY1

Can somebody help out with this?

yes, it looks like DirectX is failing to start up, so either you don't have the current DX installed, or your drivers / video card are inadequate.

this should probably be handled a bit more cleanly in MAME.

Installing the chipset drivers and direct x has done the trick.
