Calamitys drivers won't install with ArcadeVGA 9200 ???
« on: August 20, 2013, 04:55:14 pm »
Hi.

I'm trying to install the drivers with an Arcadevga AGP 9200, in a clean Windows XP corporate installation.

It boots into windows and I install the drivers 6'5 32bits. It detects the arcadevga 9200 and installs, then asks for a system restart.
When restarts, nothing happens, there is no driver at all installed.

What's wrong? I installed the drivers in several setups without trouble, this is the first ArcadeVGA I try and it seems not to work.

Thanks.

This can be a problem with some Windows "distributi0ns".  Before installing CRT Emudriver, make sure to uninstall the default ATI driver by manually removing it from device manager/display devices, booting in safe mode. You will know your  system is ready when you see a yellow exclamation on the devive manager after booting.

Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.

Thanks.

It helps a lot to fit an extra graphic card, an old PCI one as a primary device in BIOS. Then install the drivers through this card and when it's done remove the PCI card.
