add new modelines for arcadevga?
manman:
please bear with me, I don't know much about adding/programming resolutions (modelines?) or any of that yourself, but from what I could gather, when people want custom resolution to match older arcade games, they often do this with soft 15khz and add it themselves if it's not already there. I'm using an arcadeVGA though, so not only do I not really need soft 15khz, but I also read that they don't play well together (i'm not sure if that's why, but whenever I try to run it I get a "type mismatch" error.
So i'm wondering- I'd like to run GGPO fullscreen at native arcade resolution, but the arcade vga doesn't support the actual native cps2 and neo-geo resolutions, only close approximations. As far as I can tell you can't set this manually in ggpo (fba) like you can with mame, all you can do is choose 'arcade' as the fullscreen resolution which is taking the value from something hardcoded i'm guessing. So when I go fullscreen I get an error that my card doesn't support that resolution.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get around this please?

Winmodelines supports ArcadeVGA (at least the old versions not the 3000 one):

i own the arcadevga 3000 :( are you saying you only know for sure that it suports pre-3000, or you know for sure that it DOESN'T support the 3000?
Well, I might as well give it a try anyway... thanks for the help! If Winmodelines is not compatible, does anyone else know of something similar that might work?

I'm only sure it supports ArcadeVGA 1, it might as well work with 3000 but I haven't tested it nor know anybody that has.

As far as I know, the ArcadeVGA since version 2 has been non-programmable without hacking the bios. In which case, why use it?
