I have spent far too much time trying to get sound in DOS - as much as I love the results of advmame no sound is er, well it's just not right is it?
Firstly, the hardware - bargain basement stuff so don't get excited!
Asrock 741GX mobo, 256mb DDR, ATI Radeon 7000, 40 gig HD, Taxan monitor all wraped up in a Universal Space Panic cocktail cab so the first requirement is proper orientation (vertical) for both front end and mame version.
So......
Win XP?
I have a SB128 PCI card - is there any benefit to using that over the onboard AC97?
What Frontend for vertical cab use (no keyboard)?
What version/derivative of MAME?
All ideas welcomed - I've got to get this show on the road asap!
Not that it matters much but P1 is stock 4/8 way joy whereas P2 is trackball
