Crtemudriver without test mode?
« on: March 21, 2022, 12:39:54 am »
I use my daily PC to power my arcade setup, is there anyway around crtemudriver test mode? Otherwise I have to reinstall it literally everyday due to games with easy anti cheat.

For GM on my daily PC I simply added some essential super-resolutions with VMM. I did not install CRT_emudriver so no need for TEST mode.

What GPU, driver and Windows version are you using?

I'm trying to do the same, but VMM is rejecting super-resolutions, other than 2560x480.

I don't *think* so. Test-signing allows you to install drivers that don't have an official digital certificate. And Calamity is not able to obtain one of those for his version (i.e. for crt_emudriver) because that's for big companies and costs money and time.

I do wonder if at some point AMD themselves will get on board. They were certainly willing to talk to the Supermodel devs, though not to do much about the ~legacy issue involved.

Nope.
Is there something preventing you from having another box?

Used PCs that will run most everything are typically so cheap why not just have a dedicated unit?
Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools! I can fix it.

This is possible because the HD 4000 family uses the ancient driver interface that didn't have a low resolution check. With newer cards, you can't add low resolution on stock drivers (unless you use this method).

Important note: posts reporting GM issues without a log will be IGNORED.
Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.
