Robert Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 OK, here's the story, I downloaded the new mame source and compiled it, no problems. I have a newish computer (got it last christmas) running XP. Video card is a Radeion X850 Series (can have 2 monitors plugged in although I only use one), and the display properties show Direct3d as being there. Go to command prompt, enter >mame anygame It says: Proposed video mode not supported on device \\.\DISPLAY1 Unable to initialize Direct3D. osd_init failed and then throws me back to the desktop. I tried ddraw and gdi, and these work fine. It's just d3d that is troublesome. I ran dxdiag and all tests were passed. Guess it's a computer problem, what do you suggest?

James Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Have you tried to update the drivers for your card ?Perhaps you should disconnect one of the monitors . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 My Radeon X300se works fine with the D3D9 renderer maybe you can try using different drivers (I'm using the an old version of the DNA drivers for ATI cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 There's only one monitor connected. I accidently fixed it. What I did was change the propertiesof my command prompt from "Full Screen" to "Window". Happy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
