Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards
bent98:
Ok What about all the 50hz modes in the 15hz range ? Do I need a seperate custom config file? Also one other quick question my monitor doesnt have an option to display what resolution its in on the OSD is there a program or setting in mame to show the actual resoultion running? I cant run to show me what its running at? One last questions you had mentioned Cabmame to help with tearing on arcade monitors. I compile my own mame source for optimiztion of Dual core Intel proccessors. I also compile Hi_diff into my builds. Can I used the 121_u1 soundsync hack with 121_u4 version of mame?

I just tried the custom.txt file and it worked. However when I used the switch resolution checkbox and ran donkey kong screen went black. By default mame is running everything at 800x640.

Should work, but you also need the 121u1_emuspeed.diff for soundsync to work.

Well... try giving donkey kong a fixed resolution then.

The only software I know that does this is PowerStrip, if you enable the (auto) OSD. It shows the exact timing of you graphics card onscreen after you switch resolution. BUT it is known to malfunction with lowres resolutions, causing the system to freeze for 2 or 3 seconds.
However for MAME, you could try running MAME from the command line and turning on "verbose".

I think I am just going to run all games in 640x480 d3d with cabmame. I would like the flexablity to use my own mame compile and just add the sound fix. I did try to compile the all the hacks into my .121U4 build of mame but recieved this error when compiling.
src/emu/video.c: In function 'recompute_speed':
src/emu/video.c:1612: error: 'OPTION_REDRAW' undeclared (first use in this function)

mingw32-make: *** [obj/windows/mame/emu/video.o] Error 1
Is that beause I am using ur hacks from mame 121u1 in a mame 121u4 build? What specific diffs should I be using?
SailorSat:
Well yeah, I usually update the hacks every few releases.
Seems somethink broke (or some patch did now work)
