Title: Windows advmame, what video card to use?
Post by: Popcorrin on May 19, 2005, 01:31:52 pm

I am trying to get the windows version of advmame to work with my computer but I am having trouble finding a compatible video card.  I have tried a range of ati cards with no success.  I was wondering what cards other people have used to get the svgawin driver to work.
I would like to get a newer card that would also work well with pc games.
 Thanks

I found that the ATI card I had didnt work either. Downgraded to the Nvidia Geforce 2 that I had lying around and now it all works brilliantly. I am running AdvanceMame through windows XP with Mamewah as the front end. Trying to get Advance Menu working, but it isnt yet and Im clueless :D

So far, the Geforce2 has played all the games that my old 15Khz Arcade Monitor can handle :)

Good luck :)

AdvanceMAME tested and verified card list for Windows:
http://advancemame.sourceforge.net/doc-cardwin.html

All of those cards supported.  Or do you mean whether or not you'll have success with low pclocks for 15KHz modes?  In that case, I suggest reading up on easymamecab:
