Hmmm. D3D worked fine on mine until about .150 or something, wherein black display occured, but it would coin-up (you could hear it), so MAME was running. I didn't play games on it, just occasionally tested with it. Not an issue now because main and game rigs are quad core/HD3000.

Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
