Ok, here's the question:
I've got my standalone cabinet, running a reasonably recent version of Linux. (dont remember what version 2.4.something) It's got my old workstation in it, dual p2-400s, Matrox G400-MAX and 512k (?) of RAM. Currently it's running xmame 0.58(9?) in xwindows+DGA at 640x480 so I think most games are scaled x2. I use a VGA->TV dongle, (a "LifeView" one which doesn't remember it's settings thru a power cycle, so I can't reccomend it), and can't go over 800x600. (well i can goto 1024x768, but the scaling is terrible) Most games are perfect, but some of the later model games don't run so smoothly. (Puzzly bobble 2 (and later) for example). Does anyone have any sage advice on what flavour of xmame (i.e.: gl, sdl, dga, svga, holo-projected, ...) will give the best performance on this box ? I tried GL, but even with the MGA-MAX hardware (very good for it's time) performance was much slower (hardware GL is working properly). cheersbigears, -kt -- Kingsley Turner, (mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://MadDogsBreakfast.com - Travel Tales: The good, bad, and down-right ugly _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
