Back after LONG IDLE.. Help?

<< < (2/3) > >>

robboman:
Thanks for the tips.  I found a dual core PC with serial and PS2 that aught to be fast enough for me.  I went with WinXP 32 just because the only x64 media I had seemed to bluescreen the box trying to install it :(.  I stripped out some useless OS junk and it seems to boot and run fast.  I got the sticks, buttons and trackball working.  Spinner doesn't work yet.. WIP.   

I also found an ATI Radeon 4650 vid card which works with Calamity's CRT Emudriver.  I have to say, Groovymame is AWESOME with this and the D9200.  Really no hassle at all getting original arcade resolutions here.

I started playing with Hyperspin, looks pretty cool so far!

Having fun!

I love it when the system works:

1.  Solicit advice on BYOAC
2.  Receive advice
3.  Implement advice
4.  Enjoy fun and profit aplenty

Also, I own both a D9200 and an older generation arcadevga card, so I can run it either 15khz or vga and you know what, I just run it VGA 60hz, as I was tired of readjusting the darn monitor all the time for all the original video modes.

Hmmm, I have a D9400 and never have to adjust anything because it saves geometry settings in memory ???
I can't imagine having that rare-as-gold monitor and only using it for VGA!

To the OP, I would highly recommend investigating GroovyMAME + CRT Emu driver (see the groovymame forum here).  IMO it's probably the biggest breakthrough in emulation since you left the scene.  There is a built-in setting specifically for the D9200 specs too.  It's now possible to get perfect refresh rates and resolutions with no annoying screen tearing for all games in MAME.
