On following up to your post,
With the muddy text it can not be helped.
Depending on your monitor you may see missing lines whilst playing the game. This is not a problem of the horizontal/vertical orientation, but it's a problem of Arcade/TV monitors (but not PC monitor) which have a FIXED number of rows. So if this number is lesser than the lines of the game some lines are necessary lost.
As for future versions 16bit support is being worked on thou, but it is a little way off still.
I'm also gald to see that you installed it and plays well for you
Thanks
Nick
: I just set up Advance MAME in my cabinet running on an arcade monitor. It does a good good of scaling games to a resolution that will work with your setup. Before games like Cyberball and Discs of Tron only displayed a portion of the gamefield, now both display fine. The scaling is not perfect and produces effects like muddy text, etc. It make the games playable, though. I'm pretty happy with it, but I'll only use it for the games that the official MAME doesn't run in my setup.
: It's very easy to set up, too. Add a few lines to the MAME.CFG file and run one config program that aids in testing all of the available modes.
