Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards
The Big Man:
I'm so confused, can someone help me please? I've come to the conclusion that theres nothing wrong with any of my hardware, what exactly should I be doing once I've used soft15khz to change the output of my graphics card. Lets start from the begining, I've used the software, my pc is now connected to my cab, windows has booted and all is fine and I'm looking at my windows desktop which is running in 640x480 32bit. I'm using the Mamewah frontend (also set to 640x480), when I run it I can select a game which loads no problem, I can play the game without issue but I don't know what resoulution the game is using, upon exit from the game back to the menu i've lost sync, what am I doing wrong and where does quickres come into it cause when I run it and click on the resolutions it comes up with I lose sync! please help! I'm about to give up!

The fact that you loose sync is buggin me.
I'd say...
boot up the cab -> start soft15khz -> uninstall and reinstall 15khz -> reboot

This is my first build and things are going well except one bug that I can not solve. I am running a GeForce 8800 GT and have installed the most recent drivers. I installed Soft-15KHz and rebooted, all while plugged into my VGA monitor. As soon as windows booted up it went blank and gave an out of range error on the screen. I moved my connection from my computer monitor to my J-Pac and the arcade monitor looked great. Now, if I reboot and leave the arcade monitor connected it comes up with a split screen. If I reboot with the computer monitor connected as soon as windows boots I get the error and switch over my connections and everything is fine. Do I have to boot to the computer monitor each time and manually switch my connection over to the J-Pac each time or is there a way to leave my arcade monitor connected all the time?

I think I remember some kind of thing like this with Mamewah; older versions, perhaps....though, it is a dinosaur. Try a different front end.

Yes. Leave it connected to your PC. Set your desktop for a 15khz compatible resolution - for example, 640x240.

Sounds like a classic EDID issue. You'll need an edid dongle. Or you might get another gfx card (Radeon 4350/4550)
