> Yes, but that made no difference. This has to do with Nvidia. Nvidia and MAME, has never been friends. To make it work, you need to use the last Nvidia drivers, that supported Direct X 9.0. From what I remember the version number is at least below 300.xx, so something like 295.xx should work.
For whatever stupid reason, Nvidia ditched the Direct X 9.0 support pretty early, unlike other vendors. ATI supports it till today. MAME devs blame Windows Direct X for no reason. Must be the 2500$ Nvidia cards they can’t use with MAME and Windows properly.
But a promising new renderer rewriting is on the way. Just Desserts has taken this challenge, so that MAME users can use Direct X 12 in the future. I wish him everything good for this and I hope it will include the vector renderer and fx as well (from version 0.179), which was the last version that supported rendering of vector points in a object. Since vector rendering never maked it into bgfx, I have hope, that it will be included into the Direct X 12 support. If a person can make this a reality, then it is Just Desserts.
