New CRT Emudriver/VMMaker/Arcade OSD download, documentation and discussion site

[Calamity]

I am trying to move the desktop resolution (640x480p) that has been shifted to the right with it but it does not do anything?
I selected a different desktop res to make sure i was doing it correctly

You can't do modifications to the mode used currently by the desktop. Just set your desktop to a different mode temporarily and do the changes to 640x480, then switch your desktop back to this mode.

yep that works!

Thanks a million Calamity!

I'm considering buying an athlon 200ge or 3000g. Does it work with the current crt emudriver version?

Thanks.

Eiusdemmodi's got server issues once again. As I'm not sure when we'll be back, this may help in the meantime:

A suggestion if I may; when it's back you should really post a copy of the Installation and quick configuration (2019) thread here on BYOAC.
Because when eius' down and we can't give around the link to people who need it like now, it's kind of nooooooh

I'll upload that thread in a back-up service and post the link here as soon as it's back on-line. Thanks for the heads-up.

Hi, apologies if this is a dumb question - but I'm about to build a new PC to play Demul in 31Khz (as well as Groovymame in 15khz) on my Blast City cab.
What's the best graphics card I should get that is supported by Emudriver that will power Naomi 2 and Atomiswave games?

Thanks

[tronbaby]

In case anyone else is interested, I’ve got a follow up to my question above.
I went for an R9 380. I did some investigation and the 380 and 380x were the last Radeon cards to include analogue out through DVI-I.
I’m using it with an i7 4770k CPU overclocked to 4.3ghz and unfortunately, using default settings, it’s not good enough to play Naomi or Atomiswave in Demul.
Standard GroovyMame games are brilliant, but I’m not able to have the 31khz newer games on too.
I’m guessing someone else has cracked this using j-pac and CRTemu?

[Recapnation]

Which are the "default settings"? Those specs should be more than enough for bare-bones emulation at 480-P, which is what you're after. You don't need CRT Emudriver for that, though.

Hi, I just installed latest CRT Emudriver and Groovymame on my pc (Win7, CPU AMD Athlon, GPU Ati Radeon R5 230) connected to a fantastic monitor Commodore 1084S.

The image quality is superb, but I have a few questions:

- I don't have installed super resolutions. I generated the modelines with the user_mode.ini file from WMMaker... I didn't understand what super resolutions can do 

- verticals games (like 1941) are displayed with an interlaced resolution... is it right ?

- During the PC startup, bios splash screen and Win7 loading screen are out of frequency, is it possible to fix this?

Thanks in advance for reply

Hello,
I recently bought a mini-pc "Barebone AMD Mini-PC 500-AMD fx-8800 / 4gb / Radeon r7". I installed Windows 7 Professional x64 on it. The only drivers that I installed were those of the network card and the sound card.
I went to the calamity forum page and downloaded these at first:

- Download CRT Emudriver & CRT Tools 2.0 beta 15 (Crimson 16.2.1 for GCN* cards) for Windows 7/8/10 64-bits

               Desktop: AMD Radeon™ HD 7700-7900, HD 8500-8900 Series
                             AMD Radeon™ R7 200, R7 300, R9 200, R9 300, R9 Nano, R9 Fury Series
                     APU: AMD A-Series APUs with Radeon™ R4, R5, R6, or R7 Graphics   
                             AMD Pro A-Series APUs with Radeon™ R5 or R7 Graphics   
                             AMD Athlon™ Series APUs with Radeon™ R3 Graphics   
                             AMD Sempron™ Series APUs with Radeon™ R3 Graphics   
                             AMD A-Series APUs with Radeon™ R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, or R8 Graphics
                             AMD Pro A-Series APUs with Radeon™ R5, R6, or R7 Graphics
                             AMD FX-Series APUs with Radeon™ R7 Graphics
                             AMD E-Series APUs with Radeon™ R2 Graphics
                             AMD Radeon™ HD 8180 - HD 8400 Series Graphics
               Mobility: AMD Radeon™ R9 M300, R7 M300, R9 M200, R7 M200, R5 M200 Series           
                             AMD Radeon™ HD 7700M-7900M, HD 8500M-8900M Series

In red I have marked what my video card should be.

After installing the CRT Emudriver 2.0 drivers and restarting the PC several times, start VMMAKER (both as administrator and not). In the "Video card" tab in the output selection, the "Analogic_0" item does not appear, but as you see only the digital HDMI ones. My pc has an HDMI port and a VGA port. I first tried to attach a samsung CRT monitor to the VGA port and nothing. And then I also tried, after restarting the PC, to connect the video card via the HDMI port on an LCD monitor. But in the output selection, Digital_0 and Digital_4 always give me and Analogic_0 never shows me.



Then I tried to completely uninstall the CRT driver, through the setup, restart your PC and download the new version:
- Download CRT Emudriver & CRT Tools 2.0 beta 15 (Adrenalin 18.5.1 for GCN* cards) for Windows 7/8 64-bits

As you can see, always on the list, my video card seems to be supported.
I repeated exactly the same steps again and the same thing, the "Analogic_0" entry is not in the list.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Hi DreyMix,

Your APU probably sees the VGA connector as a digital output, internally, your MB is probably using a DAC for that. I'd try enabling EDID emulation over the Digital_4 output, and see if that sends video through the VGA connector.

[DreyMIX]

Hi Calamity,
Thanks for the reply. Could it be that I have these BIOS settings? I left them as default.

[DreyMIX]

I tried to uninstall the new CRT Emudriver & CRT Tools 2.0 beta 15 drivers (Adrenalin 18.5.1 for GCN * cards) and reinstall the 16.2.1 again. After rebooting and checking that the drivers were installed correctly, I started the VMMAKER software again.

I tried to select the "Digital_4" output as you told me, while I already had the VGA cable attached to the samsung CRT monitor. So I closed the VMMAKER program and went to the desktop. With the right mouse button, I chose "Screen resolution", I selected the 2nd screen (640x480) and I said put it as main screen. So the samsung monitor went out of sync. I unplugged the samsung vga monitor cable and attached the Arcade Press VGA to Scart cable to the TV instead. I also attached the USB socket (for 5v) to a free socket on the PC. You see something, but the image is completely moved.

PS: I also tried to change the BIOS settings, putting the "Int Graphics (IGD)" item on "Primary Video Adapter". But nothing has changed, as regards the list of available outputs of EDID.
