Hi, everyone.

I would like to know what are the recommanded parameters in mame.ini with soft15khz ?
I'm talking about video parameters:

video D3D or DDRAW
hwstretch 0 or 1
triplebuffer 0 or 1
switchresolution 0 or 1

I don't know what's best ?
Sometimes it seems unable to launch game and tries to expand the pagefile.sys

?

video DDRAW
hwstretch 0
triplebuffer 0 or 1
switchresolution 1

Hi,

I just did a quick test.
When I put switchresolution=1
Galaga doesn't launch.
The screen stays black.
I assume it's the limitation from graphic card videos modes. (nvidia 6200)

EDIT : I remove nvidia keys in the hives "run" (user and local machine) and now it works.

I tried soft-15khz with an Nvidia GeForce G210 using the version 270.61 drivers on Windows Vista SP2 x64. When I run soft-15khz, the card is identified correctly and I can toggle between the two video ports on the card using the buttons on the left, but all of the options on the bottom (install, uninstall, etc.) are greyed out. Is this card not compatible? I also tried running the .exe as Administrator and that didn't make a difference.

Most likely the driver is not recognized. I'll take a look into this

Don't know if it helps, but I attached a sceenshot.

Actually I seem to be blind. Windows Vista and Seven does NOT work with NVidia for now and therefore the buttons are disabled.

Is it just Nvidia cards? I was able to get my hands on a Radeon HD3450 (which I haven't tried yet, but I see from other threads that it works), but I didn't know if it only worked in Windows XP.

ATI works fine so far.
Problem was/is that NVidia changed the mode format with every release in the early days of Vista and kept it that way ´til Seven betas

Guten Tag, Hello.

I patched a ion nvidia used on a Xp Pro.

I have a problem on resolution like 800x600 and 640x480.
In fact, all the "standard" vga resolution.

It's like the patch doesn't work on those. The screen splits in two.

It works on every other resolution.

What's wrong ?
