Re: Question to AdvanceMame Gods from lowly mortal

Since you're running a VGA monitor on your cabinet, set-up is pretty easy. 
There is no reason to create the advmame.rc file on another computer and copy 
it over.

You can run `advcfg -advmamec` to do the initial video mode set-up for your 
monitor. It's a good idea if you know the exact frequencies for the monitor 
you're using, although advcfg has a pretty decent list to get you started if 
you don't. This will create an advmame.rc file with the video clocks and at 
least a couple of modelines to get you started.

From there, running `advmame -default` will fill-in the rest of the advmame.rc 
file. A lot of the settings stored in advmame.rc can be changed from in 
advmame itself, but for the rest you can edit the file in any text editor.

This all assumes you have a full installation of the software on the cabinet. 
The AdvanceCD project is meant for booting on PC's with multisync monitors; I 
don't think customizing it to drive an arcade monitor would be a simple 
undertaking.

If it's a dedicated cabinet, you could really use a nerd friend that could 
help you get it set-up to run under Linux with svgalib or a graphical 
framebuffer [not X and definitely not Windows].
