soft15khz help

[fogisgod]

Hi all

I have a Virtua Striker cab which has a medium res 25khz monitor, will soft15khz when installed on my computer enable me to emulate classic 15khz games on the 25khz monitor.

Cheers

Also when I run soft15khz do I install 15khz or 25khz onto my graphics card as the monitor is 25khz...... Stupid question but just want to make sure I can run 15khz games.

No, you won't be able to run 15kHz native resolutions on your 25kHz monitor.  A 25kHz monitor can only display 25kHz resolutions.  You'd have to scale 15kHz resolutions up somewhat, and it won't scale very evenly.  15kHz means around 240p, which scales much better to 480p, which you'd need a 31kHz monitor for.

Are you positive your monitor is 25kHz only?  You'd need a different display do get a nice picture with anything other native 25kHz games, of which there's not many good ones.  Get a 15kHz monitor, a trisync 15/25/31kHz monitor, or a 15kHz "standard definition" CRT TV.

If it's got a sega nanao monitor (like all vf/vs cabs i've seen) there's a jumper on the monitor chassis that makes it run in 15k mode.
If your not sure take a photo and i'll let you know if it's there.
I've also played around with soft 15k, if your chassis has the jumper change it and install 15k mode.
If it's got no jumper and your stuck with 25k, just install with 25k mode and see what it looks like, you might be able to adjust better using emulators built in adjustments.
