Hi,

I'm interested in testing groovymame, so i have install the calamity drivers 6.5 (on the ultimarc drivers) but i can't use groovymame in d3d mode( i have directx 9 + test ok with dxdiag). Always have message "unable to initialize direct3d". Is the first arcadevga compatible with directx9 and groovymame?

Calamity:
ArcadeVGA based on Radeon 7000 is not explicitly supported by the driver, so chances are that it's not properly installed and Windows is loading the default driver instead.

caskad:
even ddraw on previous groovymame?

Old build of groovymame 13c test should be OK ? non?

Calamity:
It says "ArcadeVGA 9200/9250", and "Radeon 7000", not ArcadeVGA 7000  :)

I just don't have the PCI identifiers for the older ArcadeVGA cards, so even if the drivers do support the Radeon 7000 chipset, AVGA 7000 card will probably be rejected on Windows startup.

I bet White_widow57 needed to force the driver in order to get it installed. CRT_Emudriver must not be forced!

White_widow57:
The only thing I have found to install the calamity was to install it over the ultimarc drivers because:

    - Before installing drivers, xp always crash(blue screen) when xp is launched -> impossible to install calamity drivers!
    - If I load Xp in safe mode, drivers require DirectX -> impossible to install calamity drivers!

So I install Ultimarc drivers in safe mode, and after that I can install calamity's over in normal mode. Mame always says "unable to initialize Direct3d" with Ultimarc and with Calamity drivers :/
