Dude. Are you getting ANY video via the composite? Like desktop, etc? It's
already going to be 15khz, though it'll likely be scaled, because that's
what the TV will take. In fact, this is probably what's messing things up.
If you get stable desktop video, try a game through vanilla mame or mame32
and see how it looks. I doubt it'll look any different than with
Advancemame.

However, try that first. If it works, then you can try to use Advancemame by
typing in the device_video_clock (for example, 0-50 / 15.7 / 50-60  ((yes,
you need the spaces)) ) and see how that works.
