Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards
lole:
Hi
Here I am having trouble with the soft-15kHz
configuration/
- video card: ATI Radeon HD4850 PCI-E http://community.arcadeinfo.de/showthread.php?t=7925&page=5
- os: windows xp
- catalyst 9.2
- monitor 25" videocolor 15khz
what is strange is happening:
Catalyst installation, reboot, install the soft 15-kHz resolution 800x600 reboot.
From that time on first boot, but not all the time I get a display and sometimes I have a black screen, when I display if I restart again and I have a black screen this one is final, I can not get a display whatever resolution
I tested with another version of catalyst, and still have the same problem, I tested with another adapter DVI / VGA, always the same, I tested the install of usermodes, same problem, I used another versions of the utility Avres (Avres avres1, avres2) nothing changes.
by cons I did the test with the calamity drivers http://mario.groovy.org/GroovyMame/WindowsATIDrivers/, then everything works, but unfortunately, it does not allow me to use Hyperspin :laugh2:
I installed VNC, I get no results, even if I change the resolution on rebooting I still get a black screen
I went through the forum, and the world, to find a person who is the same problem as me .......................... nothing ....... ..................................... desert
help me please ............. I'm very thirsty :cry:
Sorry for my very approximate English, I'm french.

Try the OTHER output (if you have 2 dvi outputs)

That Hyperspin bug is a huge pain in the ass. I really wish someone over there would make it a priority to fix it. If they can't fix it themselves, they should reach out to the community for help. I'm sure someone has the skills and the motivation to fix it.
Supposedly, if you use one of the older cards that is compatible with Calamity's patched Catalyst 6.5 drivers, Hyperspin works. Here's a list of cards that work with the older drivers, though I believe that there are a few more models that aren't listed...
ATI Radeon 7000, 7200, 7500, 8500, 9000, 9100,
9200, 9250, 9500, 9550, 9600, 9700,
9800, X300, X550, X600, X700, X800,
X850, X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900,
X1950, ArcadeVGA 9200/9250, etc.
I believe that these two cards would also work based on the GPU: X1550, X1650
You can find used X1300 cards on Ebay starting at 99 cents with free shipping, so it might be worth checking out.

On the first one I never obtain anything, I have an input signal 31khz, thus I always used the second.
I will test other DVI adapter, but I doubt the problem is there, but you never know .....
are there any specific brands of adapters??
Krick thank you for your valuable advice, if I do not work with the soft 15kHz I would consider this possibility, although I find the drivers calamity are less convenient to use the soft-15kHz
thank you again
