[vipezz]

ok i'm new here, so hi to all off you 

now to the real point, i have a problem   .
i set up an arcade machine to work with my pc for mame and stuff. i formatted the pc, i installed mame and i installed arcadeos. i left the settings for mame unchanged. for arcadeos i only changed the options

[vipezz]

nobody?

Kind of hard to follow what you are doing.
ArcadeOS With Arcade Monitor works OK
MAME with Arcade Monitor does not work

What version of MAME are you using? what games are you trying? What resolution are they?
What video card are you using?
From your question it looks like ArcadeOS is working as expected, but you need to configure MAME to work with Arcade Monitor

[vipezz]

that probably is the problem, could you please tell me how to do this cause i havent modified mame in any way yet, you know how to configure it for the arcade monitor?

[lokki]

you know how to configure it for the arcade monitor?

you have not answered any of the questions. What Video Card are you using?
What version of MAME are you using.

oops sorry about that m8, i use a nvidia geforce4 ti4200 card,
i used mame but after your second post i tried the dosmame, wich runs fine, but now when i load a game the screen is really small .     btw, i dont know if this works but would i be able to play n64 games trough the arcadeos on my arcade monitor?

edit: the screen is perfect now, i can play games, buti have no sound, i tried all seven soundcard modes available in arcadeos but none works.

Are you using Windows, or DOS?  ArcadeOS and dmame should be run under DOS *only*.

As for your sound issue, you didn't mention your sound hardware.  The included drivers only work on those particular chipsets.

i use windows xp, i aint that much of a hero in DOS.

as for the sound problem, i use avance97. so i guess, i'll have to buy a new soundcard to get the music going?

ArcadeOS is a DOS ONLY application.  You will have other issues at hand then the ones you have already encountered.

I've heard of AC'97 sound drivers for DOS, but never explored them.

XP can only drop down to 800x600, most likely that is your problem...

I'm running Windows XP SP2 at 640x480 @ 60Hz....so it is possible.

True enough, but you had to apply a hack to get it down there...

You can do it right from the control panel, no hacks needed.  Granted, it's a PITA, but possible.
