ATI rage pro with Asus MB issue Help!
« on: September 06, 2005, 10:20:09 pm »
I seem to have a lockup issue with ArcadeOs and dMame using dos 7.0. I am trying to get this ATI rage pro video card to work with an Asus motherboard with Via chipset. every time I try and run ArcadeOs or Mame in dos it just locks up. I have searched the forums and found a few people with similiar issues. One suggested installing the Via 4 in 1 update driver. I have done that and still i cannot get this resolved. Any suggestions? Ideas? I am at teh end of my rope on this one.

The 4in1 driver is for windows only.

Are you running freedos 7.0?

Try switching to a windows 98 dos boot.

http://www.bootdisk.com

see if that helps at all.

DOS DOES NOT REQUIRE DRIVERS FOR MOTHERBOARDS!
(Just sound and mouse drivers)



Are you running it from within windows??

These apps are made to run from dos only, not a dos command line window under windows.

To boot into straight dos mode edit your c:\msdos.sys file and change bootgui=0
(Also to disable the win98 splash screen add logo=0)

I am runnig dos and i have modified the msdos.sys.  I do not have a problem running arcadeos or dMame from within windows dos prompt.  I do get a lcokup when trying to run arcadeos or dmame from pure win98 Dos.

I should also add that the PC is curently using an Nvidia video card which does work fine in DOS. But the reason I am trying to use the ATI video card is that the TV out quality is much much better. as can be seen running arcadeos from within windows 98 dos command prompt.  I cannot stop using pure DOS because there are some games that simply have poor frame rates while runnigin in Win98. Also I do like the ease of shutdown in DOS.
