SirPeale:
Have you tried DOS MAME yet?

Truz:
do you mean dos mame by itself without mamewah?

right now i am running mame .80 but (the win version) but the problem has happened in mame .79b and mame32 as well.


I went to the mame website and there is not downloads up for the dos version of mame .80, where do i get it from?

SirPeale:
Yes, I meant DOS command line MAME.  Doesn't matter if it's the latest version or not, just for testing purposes.

Truz:
HOLY CRAP!

So i finally got a chance to try out the dos version of mame (the .80b version is up now on the mame site) and i think it may have worked.I did an entire play through the game without it beeping once at all. I give it another test in a few to see if i get it

But more astonishing than this was the way the game looked!!!! WOW!! The windows version of mame made my game look nothing like this. It looks amazing. Whats the deal why does it look so much better i wish i could show you guys the difference it is like night and day. First of all in dos mame it looked like it had scan lines automatically, and it seemed as if it was running the native resolution of the game (it had almost a widescreen effect because the top and bottom were black bars). I guess that is the resolution of the game. But i must say the game looked absolutley amazing. I could not believe my eyes the difference was that much. What do you think is the cause of this. I never messes with the windows mame display settings really (but i never did run it through command line only through mamewah).

Im really cannot believe how good the game looked when running it in the dos command line mame. Why do you guys think this is? When i say this i truly mean that the difference was astonishing.

The difference in picture and clarity has me more excited than the actual beeping problem (which i think dos mame may have fixed as well).


So heres to hoping this has fixed my beeping prob (i will test again and report back). But do any of you know why the game looks amazing now? Thank so much peale, hopefully this has solved my problem.

Truz:
Sorry if my post is a little incoherent because of the bad grammar and such, i was really excited about what i had found, hehe
