New CRT Emudriver/VMMaker/Arcade OSD download, documentation and discussion site
Draconis Lucae:
Hi all, first post, I am here because I am having some challenges getting CRT emudriver to work and am hoping I can get assistance from Calamity or someone else seasoned in troubleshooting on this. I am attempting to install this on a Lenovo Thinkcentre M715Q with a 2400G iGPU, which seems to be supported by CRT EMU 2.0 for Adrenaline 18.5.1. All the outputs on this are DisplayPort, so i'm also using a DisplayPort to VGA converter, connecting it to a digital monitor that has a VGA port until I can get a 15khz signal.
Before doing anything, put on a fresh Windows 10 install and uninstalled the Radeon 11 Vega Graphics Driver that loads by defauly. I then follow the instructions written by Calamity and everything seems to go fine until I get to the EDID Emulation part with VMMaker. Although the CRTEmu driver is loaded and recognized, I can't select any output for EDID emulation and it's generally unavailable.
Not sure what else to do at this point, it just seems stuck? I haven't found many specific questions about the 2400G in online searches either.
UPDATE: Actually left this post sitting in draft for a little bit and noticed...the M715Q has a 2400GE. Only release a few months later, but maybe that's the issue? Submitting anyways to verify since the setup for crtemu recognized it and everything.

Hey guys,
I know it isn't possible to have two AMD GPUs when using Emudriver. I had a thought though, would it be possible to have a secondary of Windows just for the supported GPU? Just for Emudriver? I have a secondary PC I was using for emulation via Emudriver, but it's pretty slow compared to my main gaming pc.

Your gpu was probably released after this version of the driver. We'd need a new CRT Emudriver based on a newer AMD driver in order to support it.
At the moment I can't give any probable date for this to happen.

Hi Calamity, I was wondering if you were still planning on releasing an updated version of Emudriver that covers new systems? I recall you saying you wanted to do that recently but cannot find the forum post atm. I'm running a very unique setup that uses integrated graphics and it requires me to use windows 11, which actually works with vmmaker and allows me to install modelines with it (I'm using an R7 350 graphics card). Everything works perfectly except that the setup doesn't work with Emudriver beta 10, which was the last version of Emudriver that had the interlacing anti flicker patch. So I was wondering if you were planning on releasing a new version that allows people to select the anti flicker patch if they want that option. That's basically the only thing missing from my setup right now.

I actually stopped by this thread for this exact problem; I can't use test mode on my main OS for reasons and I noticed that if I just enable EDID emulation in vmmaker without using Emudriver, the only resulting resolution is 640x240 interlaced but it gives me a nice, clean, flicker-free display. Meanwhile, actually installing CRTEmudriver on a second OS that has test mode active results in the same flicker you get with a composite adapter.
Since I'm still on Win10, is there a link to this version somewhere so that I can test it? That flicker is just awful. (Edit: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5iMjDor3P__OGVGNmR1dzhiZms?resourcekey=0-53eP2FSKDTbncBC4pcLi3g)
Edit: Looking through the revision history, I see that this is actually something from a previous beta that was disabled... but why not make it optional? Is there any way to restore it?
It's even more baffling to me because consoles don't suffer from interlacing flicker...
chinagreenelvis:
Okay, I've had it. This is ridiculous. Having to enable test mode in Windows in order to install this thing is nonsense.
If getting a device driver signed costs money, can we not just collectively fund it?
