[Freevo-users] MAME and keyboard--cheesy workaround

2004-08-02 Thread Victor B. Putz
(posting this to the list mostly in case someone needs this information later) I'm not certain of the hoops that Freevo puts child applications through, but as configured it launches xmame as a child application in such a way that there is a lag (or something) in the keyboard response. This rang

2004-07-31 Thread Victor B. Putz
OK, here's an odd one, and I'm legitimately baffled. I am using the xmame/games plugin from freevo, and overall it works well. But there is a fairly serious problem: when I run xmame from within freevo, something is preventing rapid keypresses (in other words, keys pressed close together are int

OK, this is one I should have been able to figure out for myself, but it's perplexing me. In my "recorded TV" folder, freevo is happily making an .fxd file for every .avi that is recorded. So I get pairs for everything recorded, ie 06-28_23:30_Whose_Line_Is_It_Anyway_-_.avi 06-28_23:30_Whose_Lin

Here's a curious one, and I'll hunt it down if no one knows, but I figured I'd ask. My xmame configuration is not listing certain games for which I have the rom AND the rom passes verification. I only know of one (T-mek), and it's not even a game I particularly am dying to play, but it irks me th

2004-03-14 Thread Victor Putz
Well, after scouring the NewEgg refurbished bin, I found an inexpensive A7N8X-X to throw an old Athlon 1400 in, and so my Freevo has a badly-needed upgrade from the Celeron 300 (overclocked to 450) that I was using. It's fantastic, but... ...video recording is now wonky. Old recorded episodes

I wound up with an Asus GeForce MX440-based card, and I like it a lot. I'd like it even better if I could use NVTV, but since I'm running the thing with no regular CRT and connected to the TV, I'm pretty much stuck in 640x480... and the nvtv window is too big to fit onto the screen. Now, I fre

Hmm, sounds like a fairly strong recommendation for the G400, even without the cable (I built my own LIRC reciever, so I don't mind having to make the cable if I need). One thing I've heard is that the TV-out-enabled second display on the G400 is "unaccelerated", whatever that means (not sure
