: anyone know how to use a tv with arcadeos and dos 6.2 Please let me know as I really want to use a tv in my cabinet.
Well you pretty much just need a video card with tv/s-video out or a pc-tv converter (I had the latter but bought an ati card for a better picture.) Then all you have to do is configure arcadeos to use 320X240 mode so you can actually read the text. Starting it with the -incabinet 0 switch should do it. If you are across the pond and using a PAL tv, then I think it's 2 instead of 0. 1 is supposed to be for NTSC, but when I use that it gives me an unreadable screen, so that one is mostly for arcade monitors.
