Hi,
I have big problems with my monitor. It's a Hantarex MTC900. It works perfectly with the originally installed PCB, but when I connect my PC (with an ATI Rage Pro II) the picture is terrible. I tried arcmon.sys with ArcadeOS but the screen is flickering an somtimes jumping.
The configuration with AdvMenu/AdvMame is nearly impossible.
Mostly the screen looks like this:

Even after playing around with the monitor settings the picture has a "rainbow-effect" on the left side

and the vertical lines are dancing:

Somtimes it happes, that just changing the bgcolor makes the screen looking like the first picture.
To make it short: I have a very unstably picture - is there a way to fix it?

The rainbow effect looks like you have a magnet too close to that side of the screen--speakers nearby? As far as the picture goes, I couldn't get a decent picture from advmame until I went to the trident t64--after that setup was a breeze. Some video cards just don't support 15Khz monitors. My first card was an ATI rage3d and it wouldn't display anything. After using advmame and the trident for 2 years, I say, buy the arcadevga and be done with it--no fuss no muss. Just my $.02
