yes and advmame/advmenu fails to run until i unload/uninstall it. i get "unusable framebuffer pointer" error. attached are my rc files.
--- Quote ---I got the latest sdl.dll and replaced the old one with it, but there was an error that said 'Unacceptable/unspecified framebuffer'. Something like that. I didn't change to my newer card, though. I first wanted to see whether it would run as-is.

i'm sorry it didn't work for you. i have no explanation why it didn't. i use the dos version for gaming. i only use the win version of advancemame to check the roms. what good is svgawin for, by the way?
thanks.

No no, I think you're not understanding. The lastest SDL.dll, the version you're using, won't work with Advancemame and my Nvidia 6200. It would seem that one has to use the dll that comes with the Advancemame download. That's what I've been using with my Nvidia 6200 and the svgawin drivers do work.
(However, maybe that newer SDL.dll is needed to for use with newer cards, like my ATI X800. I know this is lazy, but I've ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- with it so many times, I'm going to wait for the new release, first.)
tikbalang:
you are right. i rolled back the sdl driver and now svgawin is working. i don't feel any difference but i'm keeping it this way until the next release.
Ummon:
Oh, right, a bunch of things I wanted to ask you about your rc file. What's with the '#' in several places. Why do you have all those device_video_clocks formats?...what monitor (or monitors??) are you using? AND...why does one of the clocks have 280 as an upper pixel clock value?
tikbalang:
the "#" are to comment out setttings when i replace hardware. it is easier to switchback to the old one when something goes wrong. at one point i had three pc monitors, but finally settled using the minimum default settings that worked for all three.
the values for the Samsung SyncMaster 1100p Plus were taken from the manual.
device_video_clock 5-280 / 30-115 / 50-160
