Disregard what was said earlier. Got it working. Now that I've got things set up and working, there are a few kinks I need to work out. I've used the tv out on my Radeon card (9600 series) with a JVC 27530 (the most recommended tv lately) and some things are screwed up. Yeah, some of these questions would go in another forum, but for sanity's sake, I'll keep them all together, and this forum gets the most exposure anyway. 1. The boot up image and Windows loading screens are scrolling/flipping on the tv. Any workaround to this? Once windows is completely loaded, everything's fine. 2. edit: The screen isn't tilted. It's actually warped in the lower left corner. It warps upwards. 3. The smart strip. I assumed that when powering down the pc, everything else would shut off. That isn't the case. Since the mobo still has "dormant power" or whatever you wanna call it, everything else stays on. I thought most people used the pc to power on everything by pushing a power switch, and THEN everything else turns on. For now, everything is on as soon as the smart strip is on, since the mobo already has the "dormant power." Can you disable this "power" in the BIOS? If you can, then I'm not certain which entry to change. Other than these things, everything looks fine so far. The sound works GREAT on my altec lansing 4.1s. Tried ZSNES and the picture looked like it normally would on tv. So emus seem to be good. Haven't tried MAME yet. |

do not use a on and off switch I have used arcade momentary switches and others. ( from older towers) find the docs on your mother board or trace the wires going to the power buttom on your tower you can cut the wires and add some more wire going to a arcade button. |
| hypernova:
I don't have a tower. That's the point. I just wanna quick-test everything to see if it all powers up. |
| RayB:
For quicktest, just quickly make contact between the two pins, but don't leave it on. |
| daywane:
a flat head screw driver will work. stick between the pins and twist screw driver ( softly) contacting the 2 power pins remove screw driver |
