thanks anyway. i tried to play it in neorage and it did load although it only shows some test screen but anyways, my mame32 file must have some error. what page in this topic where a link to the working mame emu is posted. KOF2003 shows the Dot Cross Hatch in NeoRAGEx. It is use to set up the monitor so that the picture fits the screen and that the aspect ration is correct.
