Thanks calamity. Great job with the guide. Unfortunately I had to travel to London so I can't try it for a couple weeks. Pm me if you accept donations?
Calamity:
[23/01/2016][CRT Emudriver 2.0][CRT Tools 2.0][beta 6]
- [Emudriver] Fixed critical bug in driver that caused the system to get frozen randomly upon display device restart.
- [VMMaker]
- [Arcade OSD] Correctly assing sync polarity to AMD HD 5000+ cards. Because AMD documentation is wrong, VMMaker where assigning the polarities the wrong way. This must be the direct cause of most out-of-sync issues reported till now. What happened is that GM assigned positive sync instead of negative, and vice versa. This is fixed now, but you'll need to update your crt_range definitions. By default, negative sync (0) is what should be used in most cases. Thanks to intealls for doing proper checks with an oscilloscope and R-Typer for double-checking.
- [VMMaker] ATI legacy: now interlaced modes are reported with full refresh (not halved) in W7+. This should solve problems with games that use a hardcoded 60 Hz refresh.
- [VMMaker] Better alignment of modeline generator to GroovyMAME's.
- [Arcade OSD] Fixed Powerstrip support.
Calamity:
[26/01/2016][CRT Emudriver 2.0][CRT Tools 2.0][beta 7]
- [Emudriver] Forced reset of interleave flag upon device power-up. Fixes problem with ATOM-15 flashed cards that caused a shrinked picture with progressive modes and double picture with interlaced modes.
Thanks to R-Typer for testing!

Still using beta 5. If I install b6 (or b7 now), should I go back and change my arcade presets in vmmaker and mame.ini back to 0 (negative sync)? I had set them to 1 for beta 5.

It depends on the video card family, the sync polarity has to be switched for HD 5000+ only. Legacy cards already had the right polarities before beta 6.
