I've been reading on alot of the newer arcade systems, and they are becoming more and more based around modern day PC hardware than game console hardware. Whereas NAOMI is essentially dreamcast hardware, Sega's newest arcade system board, the Lindbergh is essentially a standard PC inside an arcade cabinet. Due to the fact that the games are originally designed to run on the same hardware found in most home computers, there is a very good chance that if you could get your hands on the files and get past all the anti-piracy measures, VF5 would run better on a modern day high-end PC than NFL Blitz would. It makes little sense, but the idea that NFL Blitz was designed to run on vastly different hardware than what is in your PC makes a all the difference. The Lindbergh arcade board from SEGA is essentially as follows... * CPU: Pentium 4 3.0 GHz with 1 megabyte L2 Cache, Hyper Threading Compatible, 800 MHz FSB * RAM: 184 pin DDR SDRAM PC3200(400 MHz) 512 MiB Ã? 2(Dual) * GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 AGP (NV40), 256 Bit GDDR3 256 MiB, compatible with Vertex Shader 3.0 & Pixel Shader 3.0 * Sound: 64 channel, 5.1 ch SP-DIF * LAN: On board, 10/100/1000 BASE-TX. JVS I/O Connector * Serial: 2 Channel (can switch one channel between 232C and 422) * Other: USB port x 4, Compatible HDTV (High Definition), DVD Drive Support, Sega ALL.NET online support * Operating System: Linux[24] * Protection : High Spec original security module. My computer is faster than that. I gave up on waiting for PC hardware to catch up to Blitz. I just went out and got a dreamcast, a controller adapter for my joystiq panel, and voila... I also use my dreamcast to play other arcade games such as MvC2. I just put the dreamcast in my cabinet.

I've searched the forums and faqs/tutorials for an answer to my question, but I cannot seem to find anyone else with a similar problem. I'm trying to run a custom bezel that I made in photoshop when I play vertical games in MAME. I've got the bezel setting turned on, and I replaced the old mame.png and left the old mask.png file alone since it didn't need to be changed, yet everytime I play a vertical game, the same old MAME/GameEx logos appear as the bezel. I don't understand where the image is coming from, seeing as how the old file is completely gone at this point. Can anyone help me out?

thanks alot for the help.

Hi guys. This might be my first post here, not sure, but I've been coming here to get info during the process of building my MAME cabinet running gameex and I've found alot of helpful info here. However, I've sort of hit a road block. As some of you may know, certain MAME games require you to change their parameters from the command line when you launch them in order for them to run correctly. The game I am speaking of in this case is Die Hard Arcade. In order for it to run, you have to change the BIOS setting from Japan to US when you launch the game from a command line by typing: mame diehard -bios us Is there anyway to make it default to this parameter in the game configuration or anything so that every time I load it it will automatically launch with the US BIOS? I figure this should enable me to run it through gameex. I'd also like to know if anyone knows of any easy ways to turn on mouse support in MAME. I know it's easy in MAME32, but I have yet to figure it out in regular MAME.
