I downloaded MAME32 0.117 and about 12 roms to play. I followed all of the instructions (placing the roms in the roms folder, etc), but when I want to run a game I get these error messages "Device \\.\Display1 currently in an unsupported mode" then "Unable to initialize Direct3D". I'm running Windows XP Pro with an Intel Celeron 1.0 G cpu and 512MB of RAM. I did install DirectX 9.0 and my 5 year old graphics card (from Intel) has the latest driver. I'm guessing its my graphics card, but the games I want to play are all at least 15 years old. Do I have to get a new card or should I look for an earlier version of MAME? All of the other emulators for NES, SNES, and Sega run perfectly. Any help is appreciated!
