Computer built, emulators running - now I discover a problem
(1/2) > >>
Jasonlyvers:
I have everything built and running with my frontend (HS).  My problem: I'm using Win 7 64 bit, and soft 15 appears to not work on Win 7.  I'm using integrated graphics (which works fine).  Here are my options:


* Switch to XP 64 bit, install soft 15 (can I still run with integrated graphics, or do I need a GPU?)
*     This would require a JPAC
* Sell my arcade monitor, drop in a 27" TV and use an HDMI to Composite converter
*     I think the JPAC is out since there is no arcade monitor, would need to switch to an IPAC?

Any other ways to fix this issue?  What would YOU do?
CheffoJeffo:
Why would switching OS require you to get a JPac ?
Ansa89:
I think he build/configured a pc using a normal 31KHz screen.
Now he wants to put that pc into a cabinet and (obviously) he needs a pc_to_jamma connector.

IMHO the best choice is to buy a jpac/jammasd and eventually a graphic card and use soft15khz.
If you wanna use a normal tv, then I suggest to build a vga_to_scart cable for better video result.
Jasonlyvers:
I appreciate the quick responses.

Sorry, wasn't clear.  Switching doesn't require it - I have to buy it if use an arcade monitor.  If I don't, I can skip it and use an iPac to hook up my controls and send the signal to the TV directly.

Any recommendations on a card that is VERY compatible/stable?  I'm a little tired of building and tweaking. I'm way over budget already - I can run everything I play on integrated graphics, so the card is only required to support Soft 15 - price is a definite concern at this point.
Ansa89:
ATI radeon HD4850 or ATI radeon HD5450 or ATI radeon 9200.
I know these cards to work well with linux, so I think they are good also for soft15khz.
