Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards
SailorSat:
It's flickering because 800x600 is a PAL resolution and running with 50hz.

Yea i ment 800x600 not 640, Ah I see now in your page 800x600 and 1024x768 are in 50hz.
So what can I do. I can change resolution in desktop to 640x480 but I still run other games that use 800x600 and 1024x768.
Is there a way to elimate soft15khz if 800 and 1024 are used?
SailorSat:
They all actually show up as 60hz to the OS :)
As for MAME...
In MAME.INI...
Switch to DirectDraw (video ddraw) and enable switching of resolutions (switchres 1), then enable tripple buffer to avoid tearing (triplebuffer 1).
If you want a real SMOOTH emulation you would want to disable throttle, frameskip and autoframeskip (throttle 0, frameskip 0 and autoframeskip 0).
Please note that you get sound disortions in the newer MAME builds, so consider giving "cabMAME" a try.

Thanks for the recommendations, can you tell me how if its possible to by pass the use of soft15khz when running 800x640 and 1024x768? I still those higher resoultions for visual pinball and vector games and ofcourse dont want them to run @ 50hz.
SailorSat:
Put a custom31kHz.txt in the same folder as soft-15khz.exe with the following contents...
--- Code: ---modeline '1024x768@60p' 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -vsync -hsync
modeline '800x600@60p' 40.0 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 -hsync -vsync
--- End code ---
The uninstall and reinstall Soft-15kHz.
