but how do you go about testing and setting up video modes when the display doesn't even work in text mode (I'm assuming text mode doesn't work)?
When you run mv.exe to configure your video modes, there's already in mame.cfg the specs of your monitor (you put it there before starting) so the mv.exe program use these specs to change the video frequency of the monitor so you can see what you need in text mode, *right on the arcade monitor*.
: ArcadeOS works great - I just turn on the monitor after I hear the startup noise, and life is good. Is there a way to use AracadeOS's settings as a starting point?
I don't use it, can't help here
