Title: Trident T64 Blade Video Card questions
Post by: liche on November 18, 2002, 07:54:30 am

Looking to purchase a Trident T64 Blade Video Card for maximum compatibility with my DOS Mame computer using the Wells Gardner VGA U3100 Arcade Monitor.  Just a few questions:

1.  Are all Trident T64 cards work for my application?  I.e., would there be any difference in compatability between a PCI and AGP version???

2.  Anyone with a Trident T64 wish to share their experiences, dislikes, etc...

3.  Anyone with a U3100 monitor have Trident T64 they are using???

Thanks

I use a Trrident AGP Blade T64 card.   Best card for advmenu, advmame.  Well worth it.
(PS I had an ATI, that card is only good for TV's.  Not arcade monitors. )  The T64 is perfect for arcade monitors.

Excellent.  Just received my Trident T64 card today.  Will hook it up tonite sometime.

Anything I need to know to configure this in pure DOS???  Or do I just connect it and let ADVMame take care of everything.

Thanks

Hey Super Dude!  Would you mind posting your Advmame.rc and your Advmenu.rc?  This would be a great help for those of us with arcade monitors.  What kind of monitor do you have?

I can post them if you want, but I don't know if it will help anyone since I am using a Panasonic 33 inch arcade cga monitor.  (A pretty unique monitor)  If you need help with setting up advmame or advmenu, I can help!

This site has all the info you need on T64 in Pure Dos.  It will even show you how to run Windows on an Arcade monitor with your Arcade Monitor!
