Just installed Win 7 but before I install super resolutions, what's the difference between these and the normal user modes?
--- End quote ---
Pros
-----
Smaller mode list -> better overall system performance (long mode lists make system slow during boot and mode switching in W7)
Superwide resolutions -> perfect horizontal centering, much higher refresh accuracy (~7 times more accurate)
Cons
-----
You need a faster GPU to use frame_delay without tearing.
arcadeswede:
Sweet! Sounds like super resolution is the way to go then :D
What's the minimum requirements in terms of memory on graphics cards to be able to use frame_delay without tearing when using super resolutions?
lettuce:
So it there any downside to using using new 5xxx or 6xxx series gpus compared to older 2xxx and 4xxx series cards??. I know a while back the older series card allowed for more and lower res presets than newer cards, is this still the case?
haynor666:
Blurry interlaced resolutions, that's all. Besides this it's better to use HD5xxx or higher because new cards does not suffer from halved interlaced resolutions for example Taito Type X games works correctly.

Thank you so much for the guide "Installing CRT Emudriver 2.0 - HD 4350 - Windows 7 - super resolutions"!
I just had a question and wondered if I may have done something wrong. Please keep in mind this is my first time dealing with all this.
I completed this step correctly:
* "Now that we have the good stuff on the TV, it's time to remove the desktop from the PC monitor. Still in Display->Screen Resolution I go to the "Multiple displays" pull-down menu and select "Show desktop only on 2". Click Apply.
* "The PC screen will turn black, and so will do its icon in the display dialog."Then I unplugged the PC monitor as instructed, and here is the step where my experience differs from the guide:
* "This step is vital. I must force Windows to detect the new situation, and memorize it. And I want it to happen now when I have the control, not later at boot time. To do this, click on Detect."When I clicked on Detect, nothing happened. My main desktop didn't move over to the other input. So I wasn't able to complete the rest of that part of the guide.
I just went right into setting up MAME. I launched games and they seemed to work correctly. I reset my PC and it loaded the desktop at 15khz on my K7000 arcade monitor.
One thing I noticed is that when the VGA from my Jpac was plugged into the DVI>VGA converter in the beginning of the guide, the picture was more stable. Now that it's plugged into the VGA, it appears to be more shaky/jumpy on the desktop (actual games display just fine).
Anyway, just curious what I'm missing out on or what I may have messed up.
