Chris Kirmse Is My Hero

Sometimes, reading gets you into trouble. 

In my initial research, I read that Advmame has special features and
enhancements to work with TVs, so I decided it was the right emulator
for me. Since then, I've put many hours into getting advmame to work. I
obtained a video card that was highly recommended by EasyMameCab and
compiled my kernel with all the right features, but all my attempts
ended in miserable failure. Even when I could get something on my VGA
monitor, my TV never displayed anything but garbage, despite hours of
tweaking with advconfig and playing with X and fb and grub. Not even
AdvanceCD would work right on my system! It always froze. I was starting
to think my computer was the problem.

So last night I installed MameUI32 on Windows 98. Bingo! Everything
works fantastically. I'm not even using an "approved" video card any
more. It's a Radeon 9250, but not made by ATI. The graphics look good,
the image scans correctly on my 25" TV for both horizontal and vertical
games, and vector games, too. The sound is excellent, except I'm using
an old sound card without buffering support, so I have to set the
latency up a bit. 

I'm a happy camper, sitting here trying rom after rom and finding zero
problems...
