WTF happened to EasyMAMEcab website?

MotorHedJr:
Guys,

I got a new PNY GeForce 6200.  This required a mobo upgrade too.  The parts are all here, and the build begins today.  Wish me luck and I will post specs of the final system configuration when it is working.  Again, thanks for the help  :)

i think SDL performance can be improved if windows desktop is purposely set to a much lower resolution. by default, XP's minimum is 800*600 but there is a trick out there to allow 640*480.

at least, that's how i understand how advmame works.

SDL in Windows means it'll use any modes you've loaded. I've loaded soft15 and used those modes. No reason to, really, but I was curious. Plus, you get tearing bad on scrollers. Best to use svgawin.
