CRT Emu Driver Versions / Hardware Compatibility Question
« on: February 20, 2017, 01:07:07 am »
I've done a few Groovy mame setups, but its been a while and I have always used windows xp versions.

I grabbed a pc from a local thriftstore that I want to use for my vertical setup
(shooters / vertical classics)
Specs:
 - Core 2 duo e6300
 - 2gb ram
 - Win xp 32


They also had ati HD6450 cheap so I grabbed that (i assumed it worked with the catalyst 9.3 version etc)

BUT it looks like for the HD6450, to use CRTemu drivers + groovy mame I would have to upgrade to Win 7 64 and use the Crt emu drivers for win 7, correct?

whether you HAVE to or not.. you'd be better off with win 7 any way

Definitely.

And yes, HD 5000+ cards are only supported by CRT Emudriver for Win-7 and up.
