After playing with this for a while, here are my findings for anyone interested.
Everything that I've tried to play works fine, sounds good and is more-than-playable. Most stuff works just dandy with the -ef 1 parameter; some of the heavy-duty games need the -bufsize 4 to avoid any noticeable choppiness in the sound. I have bufsize 2 set in my xmamerc file which works for pretty much everything. The best quality for everything is, of course, no video effects. Everything that I've tried is pretty-much perfect that way. Installing my Microsoft Sidewinder joystick under RedHat 7.2 is the same as RedHat 7.1. I still can't get the game window to close properly. As described before, hitting ESC freezes the game; closing the window with the mouse sometimes works and sometimes gives me an error message in the termnal window where it hangs until I hit ctrl-c. (The game window goes away, but the command prompt in the terminal doesn't come back until I hit ctrl-c.) Unfortunately, this makes gRustibus pretty much unusable. If I allow it to minimize while a game is loaded (gRustibus default setting) then it won't un-minimize when I exit the game until I open a terminal window and "killall mame" This is on a new MSI 845 Pro motherboard with a Pentium 4/1.4GHz CPU and 256mb of ram, using the built-in soundchip and gameport. _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
