RE: "No Video Modes Available" Error

Thanks for the reply Alex.  I set the monitor settings through the "Advcfg"
program.
 
Horizontal:      30-95Khz
Vertical:          50-160Hz
Video:            135Mhz
 
I didn't set it for the video card (I thought that AdvMame would already
know those settings).  I will try and add them tonight and see if that makes
any difference.
 
Hugh

Try adding h,v,p,clock settings specific to your video card and monitor to
your advmame.rc

Hello,

 

I installed and setup AdvancedMame for DOS.  I ran the "Advcfg" utility to
setup the monitor configuration.  When I try and run a game I get the
following error:

 

"No Video Modes Available"

"Unable to start video Emulation"

 

Does this mean that I cannot play this particular game under AdvandedMame?
If so, is it because my Monitor is the limiting factor, or my Video card?
The video card that I am using is supported under the DOS AdvancedMame
release (ie: it's on the list).

 

Thanks,

 

Hugh
