Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards
Malenko:
close to what I meant, simpsons runs at 288x224 so find a resolution close to that one that works like 300x240 (i just made that resolution up) just find which res is closest to native and see if it runs. Im not in front of my mame and Im working another 70 hour week this week, wish I coul dbe more help.

Malenko, are you talking about changing the actual PC resolution to something close to the native Simpsons res? If so, the lowest mine currently goes is 640x480 @60hz. If you're talking about adding custom modelines to match the resolution, I already attempted that with mixed results (see my string of incoherent posts above). As of right now, I can get Simpsons to run perfectly in cabMAME with switchres set to "0", as long as it's not running through Hyperspin. If I run Hyperspin first, then select MAME > The Simpsons, the game runs in a single window (which is an improvement), but the window isn't full screen. It's about half of the full screen size.
I'm positive this is simply something I have set incorrectly in either the mame.ini file or in Hyperspin, but I'm evidently not intelligent enough to figure it out.
As for the 70 hour work weeks...ugh. I hope your job is at least enjoyable.

I think maybe my post was incoherent, lol
what if you did a modeline like
modeline "288x224@60" 6,03648 288 304 352 384 224 236 256 262 -hsync -vsync
except do the calcs to use a slightly higher or loser resolution that fits. if it works in cabmame it should work in regular mame, do you have mame changing windows resolution to match game resolution? I'll be honest I'm not an expert on soft15 or cabmame

I guess I'm a little iffy on the best settings when using cabMAME, soft-15khz and Hyperspin as well. And I guess I'm not sure if the custom modeline I created was applied properly. Is that able to be checked?
As it sits currently MAME runs perfectly OUTSIDE of Hyperspin (including the troublesome Konami titles) when I have "switchres" set to 0 i nthe mame.ini file. I assume this means MAME is not switching resolutions. When I run MAME through Hyperspin though, the game displays in the center of the screen at about half its normal size with black all around it. Hyperspin is set to display at full screen, though. Very odd...or I'm just missing something obvious.
Does anybody out there use the cabMAME, soft-15khz and Hyperspin combo that would be willing to post their mame.ini file?

Edit because i know what is wrong: my card has the 7,12 mhz limit, i bought an old x600 on ebay and i hope it will work, can someone tell me if is so or i jus wasted 15 euros?
This was the original message
Hi i succesfully installed soft 15khz on a radeon hd 2400xt ( i gave up using the integrated one of the asus m35) i still have a small problem: all the .x240 resolutoons are not @15khz(other seems to be fine) the frequency protection on my jamma adaper filters them out. Any idea why this happens? could replace theese resolutons with new modelines help?
