AdvanceCD is a bootable live CD, DVD and USB disk of a minimal Linux distribution containing the AdvanceMAME emulator.

You can boot it in any PC and play the contained games without any installation. The default distribution contains the arcade games Gridlee, Poly Play and Robby Roto and it uses only 20 Mbyte leaving the whole disk for your roms.

The official site of AdvanceCD is :

AdvanceCD Build Notes

3.7 app.img 1)

app.img is a compressed iso9660 filesystem image using the zisofs extension. This filesystem is mounted by the /etc/rc.d/rc.S startup script present in the initrd filesystem. It contains all the emulator software and all the Linux Kernel modules.

Please note that the zisofs extension is supported only in Linux. You cannot read this filesystem in Windows without using special tools.

app.img mounten / ändern

In /boot/app.img sind alle Konfigurationen. Die muss man ändern und eine neue app.img erstellen, wenn was nicht passt. Erst mal mounten:

sudo mount -o loop /media/AdvanceCD/boot/app.img /mnt/usb/

Eine normale Daten-CD enthält i.d.R. ein ISO9660-Filesystem. Der Linux-Kernel kennt aber auch eine mittels Rockridge realisierte, transparente Erweiterungs namens zisofs, mit der man komprimierte CDs lesen kann (Kompression ca. 1:2 bei Programmen, bei Dokus etwas mehr).

In aktuellen mkisofs-Paketen sind die Tools oft schon enthalten.

#gemountete app.img in home mounten:
mkdir ~/src
cp -r /mnt/usb/* ~/src/
#Jetzt AENDERUNGEN VORNEHMEN!
# daten sind in src
mkzftree src dst
# jetzt sind in dst die komprimierten Daten
mkisofs -file-mode 555 -z -R -o app.img dst
# testz.iso ist das komprimierte

Jetzt die neue app.img in /boot/ kopieren. fertig. Am besten vorher noch das Original sichern (umbenennen)

Manual Operation Mode

In the manual operation mode the programs scan a list of `good' video modelines created manually and chose the best available. You must prevently create this list of video modelines with the `advv' utility.

This is the description of the few basic steps required to run the programs in the manual operation mode.

  • For AdvamceMAME add in the in the file `advmame.rc' these options:
diplay_mode auto

display_adjust x

  • Add in the the file `advmame.rc' or `advmenu.rc' the `p/h/vclock' options that specify which horizontal and vertical clocks are supported by your monitor. Generally these values are specified in the technical page of your monitor manual. These are some example :

Generic PC SVGA multisync monitor :

device_video_pclock 10 - 90
device_video_hclock 30.5 - 60
device_video_vclock 55 - 130

Generic PC VGA monitor :

device_video_pclock 10 - 50
device_video_hclock 31.5
device_video_vclock 55 - 130

Generic LCD screen :

device_video_pclock 0 - 0
device_video_hclock 0
device_video_vclock 0

PAL/SECAM TV (European) :

device_video_pclock 5 - 50
device_video_hclock 15.62
device_video_vclock 50

PAL/SECAM TV (European) which supports also NTSC modes (very common if you use the SCART input) :

device_video_pclock 5 - 50

device_video_hclock 15.62, 15.73 device_video_vclock 49 - 61

NTSC TV (USA) :

device_video_pclock 5 - 50
device_video_hclock 15.73
device_video_vclock 60

Generic Arcade Monitor Standard Resolution 15 kHz (CGA) :

device_video_pclock 5 - 50
device_video_hclock 15.75
device_video_vclock 49 - 61

Generic Arcade Monitor Medium Resolution 25 kHz (EGA) :

device_video_pclock 5 - 50
device_video_hclock 25
device_video_vclock 49 - 61

Generic Atari Monitor Extended Resolution 16 kHz

device_video_pclock 5 - 50
device_video_hclock 16.5
device_video_vclock 53

Please note that the manuals of some Arcade Monitors incorrectly state a wide range of horizontal frequency like 15 - 31 kHz. Generally these monitors support only the three fixed frequency 15.75, 25, 31.1 kHz. For example the Wells Gardner D9200.

  • Run the `advv' program for AdvanceMAME or `advv -advmenuv' for AdvanceMENU.
  • Test the video modelines of your interest pressing ENTER on them. If the mode isn't centered try centering it with the ARROW keys. When you have finished press ENTER to save your modifications or ESC to restore the previous setting. Returned in the video mode list, if the mode is displayed correctly, you can select it to be used by the programs pressing SPACE. It's very important that in all the selected modes the screen area is completely visible. Otherwise, when playing, part of the game may be out of screen. Video modes displayed in red aren't supported by your video hardware.
  • When you have selected the list of `good' video modes press F2 to save them in your configuration file.
  • Press ESC to exit from `advv'
  • Run `advmame' or the front-end `advmenu'
