How come 3D games don't work on MAME?
Gavica:
For Example I have SW Trilogy, Virtua Striker 99, Dragons Lair, etc
And they all say when I load, game might not work properly and then I get a blue screen???
why this happens?
FrizzleFried:
#1 Dragon's Lair is not a 3D game...it is a Laserdisc game. If you want to run Dragon's Lair you can either (A) Wait for support in MAME (within the next 6 months likely) or go get "Daphne"...a different emulator that currently emulates a number of Laserdisc games.
#2 MAME does not use ANY "graphics card" processing because they are all different and the idea of MAME is that it runs "RIGHT" on every system. You will find that MAME runs the same on an old piece of crap video card as it would on a brand new Nvidia/ATI card. If you are looking for GPU support, there are a number of alternatives to MAME to look in to...
#3 MAME isn't about playing games, but rather PRESERVING and DOCUMENTING video games. Playing is just a nice side effect.
Gavica:
ok, so how I can play the 3D games like SW Trilogy, Virtua Strikers etc?
FrizzleFried:
Try a different emulator? Get the PC versions? Uh, buy the actual arcade cabinets? Um, er....I dunno. I haven't used many other emulators than MAME so I can't comment on how well they work....but you aren't going to get many 3D games up and running on MAME at a decent frame rate anytime soon.
Gavica:
but do these high end games work your mame?
I've only used Mame32 v0.90
