DOS vs. Windows vs. roms?

<< < (3/3)

Thanks Tiger-Heli, that's good info there.

I've got the right version of dmame now to work with my roms.  So I'm ok in that resepct, but still running into the same "black screen" issue.

I've been told by a reliable source that it's most likely due to a sound card conflict.  I'm hoping some fool has already tried and succeeded with the AC97 dos drivers, but tonight I'm hoping to get that C-Media sound card working. I've got DOS drivers for that card so hopefully I'll make some progress there.

More comments and suggestions are welcome.

Tiger-Heli:
There is supposed to be some way with Dmame that it prompts you for a soundcard -

Does Dmame generate a mame.cfg or mame.ini file (probably .cfg).

If so, look for a soundcard entry in there and try changing the values to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (believe zero was none, so that should at least get MAME to run). 

Here you go - have a look at this page: http://www.mameworld.net/easyemu/mameguide/mamedossetup.htm
