If it looks like half the game is showing up and the colors are bad.... then its cuz you are not running in 640x480 mode. SmashTV is 16bit color. 16bit color is only supported in 640x480 mode on an arcade monitor. SO.... either force it to 640x480 res... or force it to 8bit color.

: I got my machine finished last night... there really is nothing like playing real arcade games with real controls on a real monitor!

: I do have a question for you ArcadeOS and MAME experts...

: ... some games, e.g. Space Harrier and Smash TV, just leave an ugly mess on screen. It's not the kind of mess you get with vertical hold problems. Are there any known issues with these games? Or could it be my graphics card (Matrox Millenium II)?

: Thanks for any help,
