Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards
klin:
Tab ^, push several times up until you reach "Horizontal Stretch" and change it to 1.00
Thats actually a "feature" in MAME...
Neogeo does output 320 pixels, but most software use only 304, and the extra 16 pixel contain garbage.
Mamedev's decided to zoom out those pixel because they don't want to get false bug reports for the neogeo driver.

I am currently using Mame Plus Plus and I am having problem locating "Horizontal Stretch" onscreen.
Could I get more info on your instruction?
thank you for the wonderful software...

Today my new GFX card arrived, a nice GeForce 8600GT, so I tried the new ForceWare (162.18) and it does not show resolutions below 512x384.
However with the same ForceWare, and an (quite dusty) 6600GT it works fine with the lower resolutions.
So it seems the GeForce 8 series can't support the low pixelclock.
However 640x480 interlace works fine. So does 25kHz and 31kHz.
*EDIT*
No wait... pixelclock is NOT the problem!
NVidia just seems to "filter out" resolutions by their.. well resolution ;)
No Modes less than 512 pixels width and 384 lines height...
Now wtf are they thinking? :)

With ^ I mean the key left of 1, just below ESC.
If you press it, sort of a menu pops up with Volume etc.
Press Cursor Up several times until you reach Horizontal Stretch (see image) and change it to 1.00

I tried ForceWare 162.18 with a GeForce FX 5500 - it only showed resolutions above 640x480 (but the 640x480 resolution itself was very odd). 720x480 worked fine, though.
So, the problem was just the new drivers ? Because I returned the card thinking it would not work with low resolutions. :hissy:
SailorSat:
I can't say for sure.
The ForceWare 162.18 works fine with a 6600GT.
The nvidia tech support isn't very helpfull at all.
They say the 8600GT supports those low modes, however they can't figure out why they don't show up. (lol!)
calitomans:
Anyone tried this tool on a radeon x1650? I am probably going to purchase one, but wanted some feedback first...
Thx
