In Reply to: MAME, Linux, and arcade monitor? Possible? posted by Mark Thomas on August 16, 1999 at 18:10:37:
: I was wondering if anyone has used MAME on Linux with output on an arcade monitor. Does the Linux version of MAME have the "-monitor arcade" option? Are there any frontends that would work?
: I may end up going with ArcadeOS on DOS, but I'd much rather use Linux if it's possible.
: Just curious if anyone has successfully gone that route... thanks
I don't know if anyone has done it, and looking through the xmame source code, I don't see anything special for arcade monitors, but if you can make an X modeline for the monitor I would imagine it would work. Of course, if you don't get the right mode line, you might damage the monitor as well.
You might try asking on the xmame mailing list. You can find details about joining the list at www.xmame.retrogames.com
