PLEASE MOVE TO SOFTWARE


Ok.....I've got everything working great on the avga and arcade monitor....most games work without changing settings...but some games like spyhunter, tapper and such are getting screen flicker ( refresh rate I'm guessing )  just using mame32 for testing right now, well actually I just like looking at the games...they look so nice now :) what  setting should I change so they display correctly....I want them to display vertically and correct orientation....it will be in a cocktail eventually......I will migrate to mamewah and command line mame when i get there.......would appreciate any advice...currently running windows xp and have the resolution at 640x288 16bit.....need to get panning working though......

thanks all

I'm not at home at the moment so I'm not sure....I tried alot of different combos, but probably didn't try the right one.....if someone could just give me their spy hunter or tapper....I can probably work from there.....regardless....I'll post the setup tonite when I get home...

IIRC those games run @ refresh of 30Hz interlaced or something like that.  I wonder if that's why they are behaving that way.  I do remember someone else having an issue w/ Spy Hunter and got it going.  Search the forum archives, it might turn up there.

Yup, Spy Hunter, Tapper, Rampage, etc all use low-res background graphics, with high-res sprites. So there's something special about the display for those games...
