Thanks sailorsat for reply,
But I found another solution, I just bought a 8800 GTX for cheap as mentioned in your thread, and works amazing,
Every resolution is OK, and no more bug or graphical artefact in Type X game.
Also, I have another request, I was testing your hack of Zsnes 1.51, works amazing except a small artefact under textbox on some game. In the mean time, I found version 1.42 released by dabone with the same kind of hack, works fine without artefact, but it's based on 1.42 version.
I would like to ask you some help to apply hack of dabone (source available) on the 1.51 release, do you think you can help me ?
Many thanks.

Hi SailorSat,
Thanks for your investment in this tool and the hardwork you have put forth supporting it. I have what I hope is a quick question. I have purchased a J-Pac which I am attempting to use with a Konami X-Men (4-player) cabinet with original 25in WG monitor. I am able to get my laptop (which has a cracked screen) to connect to and display successfully on the arcade monitor only after booting into windows and then connecting it as a secondary monitor. However, everytime the laptop is rebooted it will lose the 640x480 resolution and will be at least 800 x 600 which causes the arcade monitor to roll (because I don't think it supports anything higher than 640 x 480). I am using Windows XP SP3 and Hyperspin FE. Do you have any suggestions for how I can force windows XP to boot into 640 x 480 or prevent it from using any resolution higher than that? I'm not worried about damaging the arcade monitor because of the J-Pac, but I would like to get this working. Thanks!

Didn't know where to post this, but I use soft-15khz so I'll ask here.
I was wondering if there is a software flicker filter I can use for interlaced games, as I simply don't use this resolution due to the eye-raping flicker. This would be amazing for gamecube & ps2 emulation too.
I could ask the creators of the respective emulators to incorporate a flicker filter, but I can't imagine them catering to such a small minority.
I would also be willing to migrate my emulation activities to linux/ubuntu if anyone knows of a flicker filter for those OSs
thanks for reading!

I'm having a problem with a GeForce 6600 on the TV-based cab I'm building: it switches to 31KHz for any resolution where the width is smaller than 384. This means only CPS1 and CPS2 games look right: NeoGeo and all other consoles go out of sync on the TV.
I'm on Windows XP 32-bit using Forceware 71.84. The card is PCI-express. Is there anything I could try to get it working? Custom resolutions? BIOS flashing?

@C4N3:
800x600 should be fine, as it still is 15kHz, but 50Hz vertical (thats where the rolling comes from.)
@wilch:
Use low resolution modes. Not the interlaced ones.
@M3d10n:
Do ALL of the lower res modes behave like that?
