Help. Windows XP Resolution Issue

(1/1)

C4N3:
Greetings Experts,
I am converting an existing cab to MAME. The cabinet has a 25in WG Arcade Monitor that is capable of 640 x 480. I have an ATI graphics card and I've applied Soft15khz. The problem I'm having is that everytime I boot up, Windows XP defaults to 800 x 600 which cause the screen on the monitor to distort. Any suggestions or directions to FORCE windows XP to boot at 640 x 480 without disabling the graphics driver, which I will need to emulate?

I'm using a JPAC to connect to the display and Hyperspin is my FE. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again!

Well, since this is the "Linux" forum, the answer is:
put you hard disk into the microwave for about 10 minutes at full power, then buy a new hard disk and install linux :laugh2: .

Seriously: imho this is not the best place where ask your question.

C4N3:
Yeah, I really didn't realize I posted this in the linux forum... I thought I was in the one above this. Oops.

dmarcum99:
download Calamity's EMU CRT drivers if you are using the right ATI card.  Check out the goovymame forum and check it out.  Download the appropriate drivers for your card/OS (32/64bit) and go from there. 

His drivers are excellent and if you research enough in the groovymame forum, you may find yourself ditching soft15khz/mame for Calamity's drivers and groovymame with Hyperspin. 

Good luck!
