Re: [advancemame-users] advmenu scripts?

[John W. C. <jo...@co...>]

If you MAME system's time from power on to switching to the correct v=
ideo
mode is <=3D 35 seconds, another alternative is the "Time Delayed LTG=
1"
SmartStrip from BITS Ltd.  http://www.bitsltd.net/smartstrip/buy.htm

Certainly a more "brute force" approach to turning on a 15KHz monitor=
, but
avoids soldering irons and breadboards for the wary.

HTH,
John

P.S. I don't have direct experience with the LTG1 model, only the LCG=
3
which works great for a VGA-friendly monitor.
