Hi gentlemen,
I recently purchased the card and have it installed on a 64bit Win7 Pro. Does anyone know why MAME works perfectly before I installed the video card and software, and now whenever I open mame64.exe the cmd pops up and disappear and it is just not loading anything?
FYI, this is what I have:
mame 0.197 64bit
HyperSpin 1.5.1
Rocket launch 1.2.0.1
Sega blast city with Toshiba ms2931
I have edited the mame.ini to match with the installation instructions.
Please help, pleaseee help!!!

Open a windows command prompt in your MAME directory and try running MAME from the command line to see what error you get.
There's no way for anyone to help without specific error messages.

Try installing the DirectX 9.0c redist package. Around 95MB in size.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
Your arcade monitor is a Tri-Sync model, correct?
https://www.ultimarc.com/avgainst.html
Did you install the Ultimarc Tri-Sync utility as directed in the instructions?
Did you use the Auto-Resolution utility as directed in the instructions?
Quote:
Auto-Resolution Utilities
There is a utility which can be used to generate INI files for MAME which tell the program which resolution to run every game.
Gavin Bensons Utility is here. (Version 1.85, updated Feb 2018) This will handle the format of newer MAME versions and has a few other enhancements. Now also runs under Win7 64 bit.
This utility will scan the game list and generate INI files which specify the best resolution for each game. After running once, you don't need to worry about choosing the resolutions again. MAME will always run every game at the optimum resolution.

I'm pretty sure it's not a MAME problem.
If you Google the error message you're getting, it looks like a problem with the video card or the video card drivers.
For example, check this thread out...
http://www.rlauncher.com/forum/showthread.php?4521-Help
Do you have another video card installed in addition to the ArcadeVGA? Have you disabled the on-board video in the computer's BIOS?
Are you sure you have the latest DirectX 9 installed (see the link in my previous post)?
Also, check in Windows Device Manager and see if the ArcadeVGA shows up correctly.

Thanks for your advise, it seems like there isn’t a on/off switch, in the bios, for me to turn off the on-board video. I think i will have to get another mobo in order for me to move to the next step

What kind & how old is this thing(MB)?
What kind of MB is it? Have you got a model # to look up?

Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!
Optimist: Yes, it can!

It might not be necessary. Some motherboards will automatically disable the onboard video when you plug in a physical video card. It was just something to check.
What about the other things I mentioned?
Also, maybe try running dxdiag to check for directx problems.
