Hello SailorSat,
First, let me say to you a relly big thanks for your wonderful soft, that make lot of things possible with retrogaming.
I'm using ATI4350 by now on my New Astro City, soft15Khz works like a charm, but I plan to change the 15/24 chassis of my cabinet by a new one 15/24/31 auto switch to enjoy type x emulation in 480p
The problem is that some game I run in 480i by now , will be obliged to be in 480p after, and I think the result will not be the same.
For example I play Rival schools in 480i, If I put it in my normal PC with 480p, it's bad.
Do you know if it's possible to have 480i and 480p resolution at the same time on my computer ? maybe tweaking a bit with 640x480 for 31Khz and 641x480 for 15Khz ?
do you think it's possible ? Or am I completely crazy :dizzy:

Alright,
I have a problem with my arcade monitor... well, I hope its solvable since I am so close to getting my ultimate arcade macheen up and running.
I got my P4 with 1GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon 7000 with a 6.11 Catalyst ready to go... using hyperspin and mame along with few other software additions... Instead of spending me money on ArcadeVGA I went other way and spent $20 for regular VGA card... I am planning to use Sailor's great little tool, soft 15khz and J-PAC with my JAMMA. So, my problem occures once I conect my PC to a J-PAC via VGA cable... I get a double picture... The colours look great the sharpness is on top, however it is two screens split vertically. I tried installing all the frequencies for both card options in soft-15Khz, I tried only installing one, I tried using a DVI port on my video card and a VGAtoDVI convertor, nothing did the trick. Am I missing something? I change soft 15Khz settings in windows and try loading hyperspin with Win XP hidden. I used quickres first time to set my resolution to the lowest available - I believe it was 640-480 or something... any suggestions?
By the way, I am also writing a tutorial/personal experience with PC / arcade system from the scratch www.tellaedhel.com any suggestions and comments are more then welcome.
What other options do I have in order to resolve a double screen issue? I downloaded 6.5 Catalyst as I read that should be a version used, and I was going to play with resolutions a bit more... I am not sure if that could have caused this to occur.
Thank you in advance and SailorSat thanks for the software, very neat gadget.
SailorSat:
Is it a 15kHz arcade screen? If so, don't install all three options! Just 15kHz and reboot.
(also make sure you have selected a 60Hz mode)

Thanks so much for such a quick response. Ok, it is Wells-Gardner 19K4901 and I believe it is 15Khz... I will try one of the two card with only 15Khz (which I did, but I will be trying the other one later today) also, are we talking about 60hz refresh rate within the windows display settings/monitors?
