[Xmame] -vrs problem
Hi, Could some kind soul tell me what rom comes after batmanfr when verifying a rom set? Currently, when I do a -vrs switch, it gets through batmanfr, then stops and proceeds to use up ALL my ram unitl I ctrl-C... so I'm wondering what the offending romset is.

Re: [Xmame] mortal kombat 2 and 3
Mortal kombat 2 and 3 runs fine except for the audio. For 2 or three minutes, the sound is good, then it start to make glitches and flicking for some minutes then the sound comes back to normal for 2 or 3 minutes, etc ... but I stay at 100% 60/60 fps !? Did you try some of the other version of MK2/3, there are several slightly different versions out there so maybe you're problem is related only to the 'default' mk2/3 version of mame buth not to the other versions? (They also used slighty different HW in those arcade machines as well) Did you try increasing the soundbuffer (although sinced the problem occurs after minutes I guess this won't help that much) You say you're 100% 60/60... Maybe you can try a fixed frameskip of 2 or 3? This might gain you some extra time to improve the emulation. Also don't forget that MK2 and 3ines have some of the more heavier sound hardware thats out there to emulate. I tried to compile with sdl and sdl sound. When I run it using framebuffer in a console I don't have the sounbd problem, if i try the same binary under X I got the sound problem. BUT ! If i use this binary (SDL + SDL sound) when I shut down artds from kde I don't have sound problem under X ___ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame

Re: [Xmame] ArcadeWM
--- Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Screenshots? Perhaps I should try to better explain what this is. ArcadeWM is a special window manager which runs in parallell with your ordinary window manager but which controls one of your monitors (which is connected to one of your graphics cards). It will display any window which opens on that screen in fullscreen mode, and it will use your spare keyboard for input (you need atleast two). This primarily means two things: 1) You can run any game and any emulator in full screen mode (regardless of whether this was intended by the programmer) as long as it doesn't open more than one window and as long as it only requires keyboard input (no mouse). 2) You can use your computer as an ordinary workstation and play games with your arcade cabinet simultaneously. ArcadeWM takes over one screen and one keyboard, the rest of your system is left intact. I should probably point out that I haven't had the chance to test on any system other than my own. That's why I call it version 0.1. And that's where you guys come in. :) Best regards /M __ Do you Yahoo!?
