Radeon 2600 XT - yeah vista and this card (Cat 7.6), I know im pushing my luck already.
I have a feeling its not making the correct entries into the Vista Registry as needed.
Anybody seen this?

Hm...
Do you get the "higher" resolutions in 15KHz?
If you feel lucky, you can either dump a part of your windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Control / Video) or attach the registry backup that soft15khz should create.
As far as I know, the software itself works, however the newer video hard- and software may be a problem...
A GeForce 8800 with ForceWare 158 didn't work with lower resolutions on XP either.
At the moment, I can't do very much as I don't have those "highend" hardware :)
However I'm lookin into 3Dfx again, as it seems to be possible we get interlace on those cards at last. It works on linux side, so it SHOULD be possible to do it on windows too :)
I'm also trying to get hands on an Volari V3XT, V5 or V8, as someone told me they support custom resolutions. However nobody owns such a rare gem, and a normal V3 doesn't work ;)
Also I don't know why the newer Matrox cards don't display low resolutions.
Seems like a "limit" in the windows driver, higher resolutions work fine.
(After reading this post, I just noticed bad my english must be *gg*)

Has anyone tried this with a Dell laptop yet? I will dig mine up to see what card in embedded... Unfortunately, I think is in Intel based. :(
This would be a great option to shove my laptop in my old cocktail cabinet. :)

Yeah, would be nice to know what chipset/graphic card.
Laptops with Radeon or GeForce chips should work fine out of the box.
Intel with an GMA-900 (and newer) Chipset "may work" with a beta version of Soft-15KHz too.

Hey guys, I'm really new to this mame/cabinet stuff and I have a few questions (Is there a more noob way to start a post?? ;))
I just picked up a cabinet. The game itself is Karnov, that looks like it used to be a space invaders cabinet.
Anyway the guy informed me that it is a jamma cabinet.. So I'm wondering if I got a J-Pac board and hooked up a compatible video card with Soft-15khz is that all I will need to be able to use the arcade monitor that is inside the cabinet. I would really like to use it since the machine is in perfect working order.
Let me know if I'm way off here guys, but from what I've read this is all I will need. I'm looking forward to getting this project going ;D
Cheers
Carlito

Carlito: that's pretty simplified, but yeah, in a nutshell, that's it.
