Advance mame and vector?! Some work....some dont!
« on: August 22, 2004, 10:51:51 pm »
 :o
OK...lets see. I can run tempest, star wars for example, but I cant run asteroids deluxe or red barron. When I try too they give me tracebackerrors. Im assuming its my video configuratiion, but I saved the 640x480 setting for tempest for "all vector games", but still get errors.
any ideas?

Asteroids delux is using a backdrop (maybe red baron as well). Try to run them with artwork disabled

display_artwork_backdrop  no
display_artwork_overlay no
display_artwork_bezel no

If they work with artwork disabled you might need use "display_artwork_crop"

Well,
That WORKED! At least to get the game going. NOW I tried turning on crop...game still worked, no backdrop. Then I turned on display_artwork to yes and it gave me the same error. Isnt it possible to use backdrops in advmame? Do I have the wrong kind (bit format) or what setting do I need then?
Thanks,
~V
