88 Fingers Louie Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I'm having problems with kawaks. When I run the program, I get no video display! Where the Capcom vs SNK graphic would be, there is a transparent hole. Whatever is on the screen behind it is visible, and if I drag the window around, it takes that image with it. The 'load rom' screen works, and it will actually load the rom. I can hear the sounds but still get no video display. I'm running a 598 mHz Pentium with integrated graphics and Windows XP. Anyone know how to fix this problem? I would love to play Neo Geo games on my computer without having to resort to Rage X (not that there's anything wrong with that, I just don't want to have to rename all of my roms).

Gryph Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 (edited) Get a different version of Kawaks and see if it does the same thing. Also, try Nebula and FBA. Edited February 11, 2005 by GryphonKlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I've tried kawaks 148b/dev, 150, 152, 153 with no problems at all on win95. 146 crashes a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Does pressing ALT+ENTER do anything for you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swithin Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 On a whim, try changing video memory to system memory or autodetect and tell us if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 It know that some versions of kawaks are a bit sketchy on machines that have and integrate graphics card. I don't know which version or what chips are the culprits. So yeah, try different version and try Nebula also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88 Fingers Louie Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 All versions of Kawaks behave the same way for me (145, 146, 148d, 150,152,153). Changing the video memory allocation doesn't help, nor does going to full screen. My computer is able to run Nebula, and even MAME (although it takes ten minutes to load a rom). I've never tried FBA. Having run various emus on other computers, I just like Kawaks the best. Oh well. Thanks for the ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko_jacko Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Try tinkering around with the video settings, like the resolution, colour depth etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucandrake Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 How are you so sure that kawaks run's with Integrated Graphics? I had a $100 computer like that once when I first started running rom's and emu's, no luck for me ethier, and yes I was running with IG. But I transfered the roms and emu's by burning disc's on this computer and it wasnt kawaks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try installing updated drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucandrake Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Well that might work, who knows , I wonder if this is a common problem or a rare one, if its common search on google for answers you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
