I'm getting the ArcadeOS screen OK but I'm running Advance Mame. It looked like when I installed Advance Mame the Mame.exe file was replaced in the process. I was running the latest version of mame and was only having problems running vertical games (vertical roll) So I installed Advance Mame to remedy this.

Thanks,

Doug

PS Sorry for all the newbie questions, I do appreciate everyones help.

: OK the first thing is to get the monitor working. I set up my monitor using Arcadeos. If it loads up and the screen doesn't roll plus fits the screen you have the connection right.

: But if you start getting signal failure it's due to an offical MAME problem not the Monitor.
: The next version of MAME to be released very soon has all of the memory faults fixed. (This bug has been in the last 3 releases of MAME.)
: Then not long after Advance MAME will have all those bugs ironed too
: That's if all goes well! :))

: : Now I'm getting a weird error when I try to launch a game from arcadeos..the error reads
: : EXITING DUE TO SIGNAL SIGILL
: : then it says
: : INVALID OP CODE AT EP002C4054

: : Helllllppp!!

: : : Thanks, I'll give it a whirl.. I have both the vsync and hsync wires twisted together..is that what you mean by the hack? Please advise...

: : : Thanks again!!
: : : : Sounds like a 19". You probably won't go wrong w/ a hclock of 15.75 and a vclock of 60. If that works, try expanding your vclock to 50-60 and see if you can get anything in the PAL ranges (~50Hz). If not it's probably a standard NTSC arcade monitor. Also, make sure you have your vga hack cable connected to the Negative sync and not positive on the back of the monitor.

: : : : : Help!! I have an arcade monitor and I'm wondering what the hclock and vclock is for it so I can configure Advance Mame. The only markings I can find on the back are 19VMJP22, 19VMNP22, AND 510VJB22. I'm getting bad vertical roll with vertical games so I started using Advance Mame to correct the problem. If it's any help the cabinet was a Moon Patrol that was converted to Altered Beast but the monitor has Dig Dug burned into it.
: : : : : Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!!
