It might not be my Viper 330 because I get the same error with both the Matrox and the Hercules cards...
I get a SIGSEGV error in Allegro when I try to run the Game Launcher frontend and I get the same error when I try to run the FreeBE/AF install program... This is strange...
: : I have a temporary AMD 233/32 meg RAM, no AGP in my cabinet and I don't want to spend any money on (it since it is only temporary)...
: : It is a dedicated emulator machine with a multisync monitor running pure dos (no need for windows, arcade monitor, tv-out, 3d etc.)
: : I have the following left over videocards:
: : Diamond Viper 330 (works in mame but causes other Allegro related problems)
: Strange. I have never had any problems at all with my Viper 330 in Mame. Do you have the "latest" drivers? Which games (rom names please) are giving you these problems?
: : Matrox G200 (sucks in mame)
: : S3 Vision964 (S3 usually suck)
: : Hercules Dynamite 128 (don't know anything on this one)
: : No name Tseng ET4000 based card (big old PCI card)
: : Any ideas on witch one would be best for MAME?
: : Any ideas on other, better, low budget cards for MAME?
: : Thanks in advance for any replies / EmuMannen
