ArcadeOS 2.5 AdvMame Ultimarc Arcadevga Romlist Trouble :banghead:

<< < (2/3) > >>

Orclord:
Have you put ultimarc.dat in your Arcadeos dir..

Taken from Ultimarc...

ArcadeOS.

This is a good choice for a DOS front-end but does not automatically read the available VESA resolution list from a VGA card. The list of available resolutions is held in the MAME.DAT file.
Thanks to Tony Saxton, (http://mame.how.to/) there is a special MAME.DAT file here for using this card with ArcadeOS. Download the file ULTIMARC.DAT and copy over the existing file in your ArcadeOS folder. Then all of the ArcadeVGA resolutions will be available for choice in the game configuration menu (press "start2").


CathalDublin:
will try that out tomorrow, see where it says it needs to be build 2.5, would you say thats and higher? as I'm running 2.52
also I'm using advance mame not dmame so I wonder will that matter
thanks for the help and I'll let you's know how I get on

CathalDublin:
OK any help here would be brillant
I now have
Arcadeos V2.5 which is the only version that works with the ultimarc.dat
problem now is that arcadeos 2.5 wont find the romlist in the latest mame or the latest advance mame
any other Ideas?
If code needs to be changed in arcadeos for this to work if anyone could give the the required info and I'll ask my bro to change it for me
Thanks Guys

Hi Cynos.
Maybe I can help you in something!!!
I have one question for you, why you uses ArcadeOs. For better achieves with your configuration try to use ADVMENU with ADVMAME.
Advmenu at the moment is still in development, ArcadeOS no.
Here you can find a great tutorial to run both programs, Advmame and Advmenu...(sorry, is in Spanish but you can translate it with the inets translators....and there's plenty of photos too....;) )

In this tutorial, I explained every option and how to make the best performance with arcade monitors.
My config is very similar to yours:
PIV 2,4Ghz, Win98SE (without GUI), Ms-Dos, AVGA (Ati 7000 based...take care with it....AVGA 9X series seems not to work OK.), Advmame (0.99) and Advmenu..(the last version)

Cheers.

CathalDublin:
I cant get advancemenu to disply anything, it's like its choosing a resolution wayy to high for my monitor, its just scrambled
