:Hi guys! I picked up a new ATI video card so I could try out the TV out. After finally getting it up and running (drivers are a pain in the @$$) it looks great. I tried it out on my 27" TV and Windows text isn't that great but MAME games and other emu's are awsome! Thing is while it works in Windows I use a frontend and boot straight into DOS. When I do this the screen just goes completely black. Does that mean the card won't work in pure DOS? Has anyone got around this? I could always boot into Windows and have it start the frontend but wanted to keep it in DOS so Windows wouldn't be a system hog. I'm running on a 233MMX with 64 megs of memory. Can't wait to put everything back together and slap a 25" tv in to the cabinet. I also have a Celeron 400 on the way, so maybe the Windows thing wouldn't be too bad. Anyways, if anyone has a solution to use a ATI card for TV out in pure DOS please post or drop by the chat room! Thanks for any info....
Later and Game On! ---------->Rocket2600
