: Simply beautiful! It's ranks right up there with ArcadeOS and MAME itself as an invaluable contribution to arcade retrogaming and cabinet building!
: I'm running MAME in pure DOS with a Rage Pro card and a 25" WG K7000 monitor. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Hell, I'm sure I have a lot of learn. Advance MAME has a complicated set up procedure -- not for a newbie -- but I don't think we have that problem here.
: I consider myself a purist. Faithfully re-creating the arcade experience has always been my top priority. Not having a rotatable monitor was always a sore spot -- I really felt like I needed to build a second a cab with one.
: BUT, the image quality vertical games on a horizontal arcade monitor is excellent here. I'd give it a score of 97% -- not perfect, but damn close. "Even" for me, I'd safely say anyone planning their projects can avoid a rotatable monitor and be perfectly happy.
: Thanks creators of Advance MAME! I can't praise it hight enough.
: Joe
: P.S. Andy Geez, nice to see you back on the boards. What exactly has your brilliant, but diabolical, mind cooked up. Looking forward to seeing THAT project!
