You don't have to add anything to the autoexec.bat and config.sys to get tv-out to work. It's built into the hardware, so it automatically switches on in dos if a tv is available. As for arcadeos, i don't have a clue.... I gave up on true dos front-ends a long time ago.

: What type of configuration lines do I need in the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat?

:
: : Ati cards "probe" your tv to see if it's there. A consequence of this is you have to use a store bought and not a hand made cable. If the insulation isn't solid the whole way down, your card won't always be able to detect the tv and won't let you switch it on.

: : : Your tv has to be on and connected to your vid card BEFORE you turn on your pc. You must also keep your mame res settings below the maximum that your tv-out can handle, but it should show up as soon as you boot up your pc.

: : : : : Have you tried not having a pc monitor connected and only having the tv connected when you boot the computer?

: : : : : : I am using ArcadeOS and an ATI Rage Pro II and DOS7 with S-Video out to a TV. Can someone help me get the TV Out to work from DOS mode?

: : : : : : Thanks,

: : : : I hadn't thought of that. What type of configuration lines do I need in the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat?
