ATI drivers are hacked drivers for ATI cards that extend normal capabilities (number of resolutions, etc.) They won't work with the AVGA3000, that's why I suggested Linux instead.

Your response implies (not intentionally, of course) that GroovyMAME won't work with an ArcadeVGA 3000 in Windows.

You can use GroovyMAME with an ArcadeVGA3000.  The only drawback is the ArcadeVGA 3000 is limited to about 30 pre-defined resolutions.  GroovyMAME will do the best it can with what the ArcadeVGA allows.


So to recap...


* GroovyMAME IS the best MAME build for an ArcadeVGA 3000.
* An ArcadeVGA 3000 is NOT the best video card for GroovyMAME, but it will certainly work.
* The OPTIMAL CONFIGURATION is GroovyMAME + a supported ATI video card + Calamity's hacked ATI drivers.

Thanks krick, that's absolutely correct.

I'd add that Chris Kennedy worked hard to give specific support for the AVGA3000 under GroovyArcade, so for this OS it's probably the best card as it allows 15 KHz right from boot without the Windows limitations.
