Thanks! Good to know. Once I can get the JVS to work with it, it continues running in the back ground so if the game locks up you should be able to exit/escape and reboot it. Not ideal .. but it is what it is.
I've been messing around with Mame4Rage2 today to run on the X2.
For starters, the 32 bit version of version .40 doesn't seem to work at all. It just crashes on both my desktop and the X2, so I used the previous version and got it to launch fine
Initially the controls didn't respond like
@Dreygor and suspected that it wasn't built with dinput in mind. (I'm using a modified version of Corey's cjvs tool) Using a hex editor on the 32 bit exe I edited it to force direct input and that got my controls working.
It plays and runs playably but the audio stutters are obnoxious. The x2 may be a bit underpowered for this game. Not sure what your experience was on that front.
