CRT Emudriver in AMD APU? (sorry if has been asked before)

Yes, I restarted windows after installing the driver and test mode was enabled all the time. Today I tried making another clean installation of windows 10, and as you said it seems CRT Emudriver has some kind of problem with my computer, here you have some photos from the installation and the device manager after that
After this, the installer recognizes the graphics as AMD RADEON HD 7400M although my integrated graphics is an AMD RADEON HD 6620G, that could be the problem I think. Here you have the rest of the pics from the device manager with the yellow icon...
and from the device status
Thank you for answering Calamity , I hope you can guide me to solve the problem if there's a solution, if not I'll have to search for another pc with a compatible graphics card, I was very excited with the idea of running groovymame on my crt tv and this was a huge let down for me :scared
Calamity:
Your card's pci id is not included in the driver .inf file. Have you tried with the Emudriver version based on Catalyst 12.6?
prisonerofheaven:
Mmm nope, I had not tried that, I assumed that "Crimson 16.2.1 non-GCN* cards" was the one for my graphics card. I didnīt have much time today before going to work, but I have installed the version based on Catalyst 12.6 and it shows promise. I have taken some photos.
First of all, when I try to install Emudriver based on Catalyst 12.6, it seems the installation recognizes 2 devices:
If I check the first or both of the options this happens...
But then I tried with only the second option and...well, there's hope again :applaud:
When installed, one of the found devices is my graphics card, and then, when I run VMMaker, it founds Crt Emudriver at last :notworthy: :cheers:
When I got to that step it was time for me to go to work :cry:, so I couldn't follow the rest of the guide, but I have good vibrations this time, fingers crossed.
I'll update tomorrow and keep you posted, I hope this post will be of use to more people with AMD APUs like mine. Thanks again for the help Calamity , and sorry if my english is a bit rough, it's not my first language.
Calamity:
Probably you didn't uninstall 16.2.1 before installing 12.6, did you?
prisonerofheaven:
Yes, I did uninstall 16.2 before installing 12.6, and then the 16.2 installer only showed one "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter", then I restarted the laptop and proceeded to install 16.2, and that installer showed me the two display adapters, I don't know if it's because it's an APU ??? , after the instalation showed both the 6620G and the 7400M, but VMMaker only detects the 6620G display, so I hope it's good news. I'm typing this from work, and when I arrive home it will be very late, so I'll try tomorrow when I have some time. I have not received my VGA->SCART cable anyway, I expect it will arrive tomorrow, then I'll check for sure if it's working.
