Thanks!
Are these technical details typed up anywhere?
Also, is there any concern about the dot clock and newer cards?
Thanks again

Not typed up in one place, Calamity has mentioned it though.
yes, for RX 500 series cards. No dot clock problems reported with R7/R9 300 series AFAIK.

Hi again,
We need some of this stuff typed up! There is a very pervasive perception out there that any junker PC will run MAME (or Groovy) and that clearly isn’t the case if you want to get close to arcade-perfect emulation. :)
When I bought the R9 a few years back it was the best, or one of the best, Groovy cards. Is this still the case or has something else eclipsed it at this point?
Thanks again!

i like a card with an analog output and no dot clock lower limit, myself. I suppose an RX 580 is going to be more powerful - I think that's as high as crt_eumdriver supports now. But you need to make sure you get a compatible hdmi- or DP-to-VGA dongle that can handle 15kHz and also composite sync, if you need that. A lot of cheap newer dongles don't work. I bought like a dozen different ones from Ali and eBay and only one worked. The Tendak adapters won't. The fricking HDMI Fury 2 won't either. That said, a lot of generic older AG6200-based dongles will. Some new ones still use the same old setup, so will work also - you generally have to go brand name like uGreen or Belkin or Comsol or something, but testing one is the only way to be sure.

Some modern games, especially online games, will complain that test signing must be turned off to play online. It interferes with some anti-cheating software. A better option is to use dual boot. One instance of windows for CRT, and one for steam/modern games. In the CRT boot disable the nvidia gpu, and in the gaming boot disable the CRT gpu. Works for me in windows 10/11.
