Title: ATI 3D Rage PRO AGP -> DOS
Post by: sharpfork on August 17, 2004, 01:04:13 am

Howdee all-

I'm trying to move my Mac based cabinet to a Dell Optiplex GX1 PIII 500with on board ATI 3D Rage PRO AGP x2 runing XP pro.  I fiddled with all sorts of video options in the DOS MAME 56 and all I get on screen is some funky lines.  I'm guessing I need to find some sort of DOS driver but am not sure where to start.  I poked around advancemame but was even more lost.

Any ideas?

I'm confused.  You mean command line MAME, not DOS MAME right?

Hello-

I'm the confused one  ;) .  Maybe thats my problem.  

I want to run Mamewah which I understood has to use the DOS version of MAME.  I can get various flavors of Windows MAME to run from the command line inside XP with only some sound issues I have not tried to deal with.  I'm trying to get the "mame056b_dos_i686.zip" download to work.  Am I being a big dork and trying to get a pure DOS version to run inside Windows?  Remember, I'm a Mac guy.

Take care

mamewah runs with other versions of mame, not just the dos version.  If you were to get the "mame056b_i686.zip" version--this is the windows command line version and can be run right from xp.  Are you using an arcade monitor or a pc monitor?

I think you'll only want the _i686 if you're running a Pentium Pro.
