Franco:
Thanks for the tip! I never knew about this prog.

MAME at work, loving that idea!

advancemame is a modded version of mame.  runs straight off the cd. best of all it's dead easy to configure.

It's probably my usb stick.  I setup it both as not USB-ZIp compatible and as USB-ZIP compatible when running the makeusb bat file.  But I couldn;t get it to boot on this computer.

But it needs to be able to boot on whatever I put in my arcade.  I think I will resurect my dual celeron system again.  I want to do the usb stick thing because it would be easy to add games, and it is rewritable so I can switch settings easily.  That way if I want to setup samba and a network share I don't have to host the roms on that stick.

I tried 3 computers (with 2 monitors each) this weekend until I found a combination that worked. I'm generally disappointed by the limited video card and monitor support. But I was pleased with the setup and "installation" once it worked. But I can't imagine suggesting this to anyone that doesn't know how to grep xrc files.

The first computer had an incompatible video card, and possible an incompatible LCD display; but switching to a CRT didn't allow advanceCD to run. The second computer froze up whenever MAME launched. The third computer had an LCD display that was incompatible so I switched it out for an old 15 inch CRT monitor.

It seems odd that AdvanceCD doesn't work on TVs and Arcade Monitors when it's based on AdvanceMAME which specializes in working on TVs and Arcade Monitors. *shrug*

I do like the effort and I hope to expand on it a bit, for personal use. :)

Just found this prog, it's sweet!  ran perfectly right off the vanilla install.

Before I burned the CD I copied a bunch of roms into the roms folder and viola, they showed up on the burned CD just fine.  I still need to copy the snapshots/movies/screenshots files for the full effect.

I wonder how hard it would be to get the screen rotated?  I'll check into that, also.  But very impressed so far.
