Unfortunately, even with EDID dongle, it is impossible to get resolution with pixel clock lower than 8.00Mhz :hissy: I know it is possible to tweak modelines, but it is to share with other that this card seems not so good with Soft15Khz. Except if sailorssat knows a tips to make it working. Sailorsat if you read me :notworthy:

Sorry Karnov64,
I was not looking at your post.
For your issue :
1 : apply to both, in that case you are sure that you will have 15Khz !
2 : in that case, you have to use the custom modelines install. Just create the *.txt with the 5 modelines you need and install those one.
Enjoy

Hm... My GTX460 (and a GTX260) worked fine even with the lowest settings. Maybe there are different chip revisions?
You could try the "universal" resolution approach.
That means, take one resolution like 2560x240 and tell mame to stretch to fullscreen.
You won't get any visible stretching artifacts because the resolution is so high.
But you will need to add other big resolutions with different amount of lines (x224, x256 etc.) for other games.

SAILORSAT sorry to ask here but may i ask a question, you could answer with just one word if you want (yes or no): :laugh:
will there be anymore cabmame releases? (or perhaps 0.143 is the final one)
and iori01: .. thanks for your help but i have discovered soft15khz is not working for my laptop with intel mobile 965 gfx (very poor basic gfx device :() (also powerstrip does not work, so i gave up :lol)
SailorSat:
Yes there will be a 0.145 release.
