Adding perfect-yuv 0 to the xmamerc on both of these computers seems to have fixed the problem. I can see Popeye and Columns 97 now. This may be a problem common to the integrated video on Intel motherboards. I just tried xmame on another machine that also has an Intel motherboard (a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 so it's newer than my machines) and it exhibited the same behaviour. Perhaps we should add a note about this to the xmame documentation. "If you are using xv mode and the screen or window just goes black (and X may lock up if you are using full-screen mode) with certain games, try adding -noperfect-yuv to your xmame commandline, or perfect-yuv 0 to your xmamerc file." Thank you ever so much for your help. I sincerely appreciate it. What is "perfect yuv", anyway? _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list Xmame@toybox.twisted.org.uk http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
