Mame menus are unreadable?

(1/2) > >>

deano7:
I am building a new mame box and for some reason, when I hit "TAB", my mame menus are not legible.  They are all pixelated and distorted.  Anyone know why this is?  Also, I get sound errors for every game, what do I need in order to get the sound to work?  Thanks in advance!

Flip The Switch:
The menu is distorted probably because you have direct draw enabled, do you have a gfx card? if so turn on direct3D and it should be nice and crisp and clear.

as for sound errors, you may have to explain more, is it skipping/jumping or are you receiving some kind of error msg?

deano7:
The sound error is "Error creating directsound 88780078".  I have included a picture of the wierd menus in Mame.  I have tried d3d and directdraw but neither works correctly.  I am using arcadeVGA PCIE card.  Thanks for the help!

Ginsu Victim:
Big enough picture there?

deano7:
I found this site and I must have had a corrupt or unusable font.  I downloaded a new .BDF file and it works fine now. http://mameworld.info/mrdo/mame_artwork_supp.html
