Still here

so i'm still here, just been really busy and haven't been thinking about posting. i've had a little break from the table as i haven't had a chance. but i started playing around again last night.
i decided i am going to try freedos again, but this time with advancemame, which works really well under freedos. so i now have a fast booting table directly into the advancemenu frontend. i still haven't got the internal sound card working under freedos, but i've seen other people able to get certain soundblaster cards working. so i bid on one of those cards on ebay today, and hopefully will win the auction. not bad for $10.
i keep changing everything, i know, but i'm determined to find the best setup. advancemame is really quite clever, i looked up lg's website to get the h-sync and v-sync specs on the screen and gave these to advancemame's config util, which helped me configure perfect video modes for the different games. and boy does it work well!
the only drawback of using advancemame is for some reason it doesn't like the ati radeon 9200 i have, so i am using my old geforce 2mx i have lying around, which works surprisingly well.
wow this is turning into a really long post :)
