vipezz:
so you can get a 800x600 resolution within powerstrip @ 15khz?
Howard_Casto:
no, because that isn't a resolution an arcade monitor can handle. 
youki:

--- Quote ---You go in and tweak a resolution until it displays on your arcade monitor (640x480 is already in there by default).  Once youget it tweaked you save it.  From now on any time an application tries to run that resolution and powerstrip is running, it overrides the windows settings for that res and uses the ones you defined.  Since mame can handle any res you throw at it (assuming the res exists, which it will if you make it in powerstrip) you can make a powerstrip tweak fo any arcade res you wish to run, as long as you can get it working from within powerstrip. 

I only mention this because not everyone is satisfied with 640x480i

Thanks , good to know, i didn't know that powerstrip can handle others resolutions.

One thing more, based on feedback i had on my forums about powerstrip , that could interrest you vipezz.

Some users prefer to use PowerStrip 3.30  instead of other version.
Because this version has a special mode where instead of using flickering to display 640x480 on ArcadeMonitor  , it simply use one pass but just remove one line on two. 

The advantage :
- No Flickering at all

The problem :
- Font on windows desktop a not really readable , but it seems that for FrontEnd and games it is very good.


vipezz:
well, i actually dont have any flicker, dunno why, was a bit surprised myself, screen is pretty sharp to. and almost everything i connect is playable trough powerstrip so for me arcadevga is not needed(although i have spend hours and hours to connect it all to eachother)
