Much better, thanks!
Hurray Banana:
Just got back home and tried the 31 version, which works superb.
Many thanks, nice bit of software. :cheers:

I just got Soft-15KHz working with a GeForce2 MX400 card and Nvidia Forceware 93.71 !
I'm running WindowsXP with a desktop resolution of 512x240.
I'm using a horizontal WG 4600 monitor and I'd like to get vertical games like Pacman displaying without any hardware stretching. The resolution 352x288 would seem to be the best choice (since the regular Pacman resolution is 288 pixels high), but when I select this resolution the monitor's v-hold goes crazy. I tried the other resolutions that are 288 pixels high and get the same problem.
I don't know a whole lot about setting resolutions, but I'm guessing I need to adjust the 352x288 resolution somehow?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Joystick Jerk:
Say I install this, and I use it while I have a standard computer CRT hooked up to the computer. Would there be any damage to the monitor if I selected a 15khz resolution? I just want to be sure, as I'll be setting up my dedicated MAME PC today or tomorrow, but I won't have an actual arcade monitor hooked up to it for a while.
I also see that the installer lets you choose what modes and resolutions to install. Say I want to install all modes and resolutions, do I click Install 15khz, restart, and then go on to the next one, or can I do them all in one go? If I do have to restart in between each install, what order should I go in, 15-25-31, or 31-25-15?

You have the correct resolution -- you just need to find the V-HOLD knob in your monitor. I had an older arcade monitor that did this too. Strangely once it warmed up, it stopped rolling.
