Configuring HLSL for MAME 0.144

[vanrose72]

I'm having trouble configuring HLSL for MAME 0.144.

I have pasted the following settings into the mame.ini file, but HLSL does not appear to be enabled:

Code: [Select]

Is there a problem with my configuration, or should I be looking at hardware issues?

Windows Vista 64-bit
DirectX version 11
ATI Radeon HD 3450 video card (Pixel Shader 4.0 support)
Resolution set at 1680 x 1050

I have no idea what I'm doing here, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Solution:
Because I have DirectX 11, I needed to install the DirectX End User Runtime SDK to get DirectX 9.0c updates:
