Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards
orchidius:
Hi there,
I've picked up work again on my never-ending arcade project, and seemingly one of the last hurdles to tackle is the SCART cable and tv setup (been struggling with that one for a while now). The cab now runs off a relatively new core2duo laptop with a Nvidia geforce 7300 GPU. I currently have the following cable setup:
VGA -----------> SCART
1 15
6 13
2 11
7 9
3 7
8 5
9 100ohm 16
5 18
13 1000ohm 20
14 1000ohm 20
10 17
But this setup is not working. Here's the picture I'm getting: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/39/img0788d.jpg/. Could the problem here be that the card is too "new" for the soft15khz tool? Are the drivers not right? Is the cable not right (again)? Could it be fixed with a dongle?
Please help!

Hm... Are you sure the TV is on the right channel? (AV-1 or whatever)
You can try if the card is giving the right frequencies by unplugin the SCART cable and plugin a VGA monitor. Once you select 640x480 or any other "low resolution" the VGA screen should either turn off or show something like "frequency out of range".

This is what I'm getting when I plug in an average CRT computermonitor on just the 15khz setting. It's obviously doing something, but is this the "right" thing?

TV set has two, tried both.
Also tried my other laptop today, to no avail. It's a Nvidia 6300. Same result.
