  • Me want to build arcade controls!
ArcadeVGA no image
« on: October 18, 2017, 05:13:23 am »
Hello there !

I have been trying to setup an arcadeVGA card without much luck up to now  :(

A few months ago, I posted a request for help on the french forum Gamoover http://www.gamoover.net/Forums/index.php?topic=36994.0 but got no reply. Since arcadecontrols seems to be the "official" channel for requesting help on arcadeVGA, you are my last hope  ;D

EDIT:
I contacted Ultimarc about my issue and they told me that the official support channel is to contact them directly.

My setup :

AMD Athlon X4 with windows 10
ArcadeVGA 5000
J-PAC
Hantarex monitor
And an old ASUS 4:3 flat LCD monitor, just to perform checks


The issue :

No image on the arcade monitor unless I do the following :
Boot with only the LCD plugged in
When in Windows, plug the arcade monitor

If I don't do this, I get a black screen on the arcade monitor and an "Unsupported resolutions" message on the LCD.

Any idea ?

Thanks

What happens when you swap the monitor ports over?

"Unsupported resolutions" on LCD and nothing on arcade monitor  :-\

Worth a shot :)

I really feels like a detection issue, but i'm not sure how the AVGA cards work in that regard.

You have a fair chunk of Ultimarc hardware there, and Andy from Ultimarc is known for following up. See if you can get in contact with him through the site.
