: Okay, I've used Adv. Mame myself and its a great program if you get it configured correctly. Adv. Mame SHOULD only add to whatever modes you already have... not take any available ones away. Whether this happens or not can only be determined if you are testing it yourself but IMO you should definitely give it a try and see what happens. I would think that using Adv Mame would only help... not hurt. Additionally, you may want to look into AdvanceMenu and see if you can run multiple versions of Mame through it. That way, if you lose the modes you like by running Advance Mame you can run regular Mame as well for those games that need those modes.
I may have to give it a go .. I think I will look at the 640x480 mode a little closer, I seem to remember that it is very specific to the m64 chipset, .. but I cant see why AdvanceMame wouldnt use this resolution aswell....
: As far as the "rolling" or "squishing" that you are getting on your monitor, you can probably fix all of these problems by installing a cap kit. This does involve discharging and messing a little with the electronics but I've heard its very straightforward and simple. I think the link on how to do it is in the Tech and Tips page.
hmm .. Is this squishing something that can be fixed by a cap kit ? .. I always thought that it was something more to do with the intensity of the image and / or image bleeding . .. or something like that :)
I hope that a cap kit will be the fix I need though .. anyone else who has experience ?
thanks
