Hit Enable edid emulation by accident, need help

<< < (2/3) > >>

Milsancho:
I get to safe mode without issues with the PC monitor and the HDMI output. Video mode maker isn't letting me disable edid emulation, though. Any advice on how should I proceed? Should I try entering safe mode with the VGA output?

haynor666:
Try uninstall driver in safe mode.

Calamity:

If you're in safe mode, the video driver (crt emudriver) isn't loaded, so vmmaker can't do its job.

16 kHz shouldn't be out of sync for a TV, it depends on the model but most will take it happily.

You can as well uninstall the driver from safe mode as haynor666 said, just enter device manager, select the video card and uninstall its driver.

Milsancho:
Thanks for the replies. I tried with another TV in case but had the same result, a semi-out of sync situation, if that makes sense. Fortunately, I managed to solve it this way (Windows 7):

* I connected the system to a PC monitor (I used the VGA output)
* I rebooted the system and hit F8 till the OS boot mode menu appeared
* instead of selecting safe boot mode, I selected Boot in low resolution mode (640x480)
* I found that the monitor's diagnosis message now said 15khz instead of 16khz
* once Windows is booted (I could say thanks to the startup sound) I hotswapped the video cable to connect the system to the 15khz monitor (VGA to SCART)
* that's it, I got the desktop at 640x200 (I think) which is usable enough to open Arcade OSD and change the resolution mode


Now I wonder if I should disable edid emulation and enable it again or just leave it as it is.

Milsancho:
I'll answer myself: you must go to Video mode maker and disable edid emulation for the HDMI output otherwise there'll be similar issues when rebooting the system (desktop there but only partially so you cant really operate).

So what I wonder now is if I should never enable edid emulation for the HDMI output/PC monitor via DAC even if I'd like to add custom 31khz modes and beyond for it?
