Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards
crabfists:
I got Soft15KHz working. Thank you Sailorsat for this great software! I am now enoying Earthbound on my CRT TV. :)
I set my screen resolution to 512x448 and I can see my Windows XP desktop fine all synced nicely. Then I fire up ZSnes and it looks great and fills the screen in windowed mode. I tried setting full screen at 512x448 but it displays in a frame that doesn't fill the screen.
I am confused about something though. Soft15KHz isn't supposed to work with all emulators but it has worked with everything I have tried. I started off using the 15khz enabled build of ZSnes but then I tried the normal ZSnes and that worked fine too. What is supposed to happen if an emulator doesn't work?
Antropus:
Problem solved!!! :D
I can surely confirm that this works:
AMD R9 290x
Catalyst 14.4
Windows 7 64
This is what I did and I hope this helps someone with the same problems/system specs:
1) I uninstalled all AMD drivers and shutdown my machine
2) I replaced the new card with the old HD4890 that I had working before and powered up the system.
3) I installed the Catalyst 13.9 legacy driver and reboot.
4) I installed Soft-15KHZ's all resolutions in all available cards, just to Uninstall everything right after that.
5) I uninstalled all AMD drivers again and shutdown.
6) I replaced the old card with the R9 290x and powered the system.
7) I installed Catalyst 14.4 (newer drivers might be the cuplrit for ir not to work before, not sure. This one works though)
8) Reboot
9) I ran Soft-15KHZ and I got 5 popups, one after the other saying "For pre-X1000 series Radeon cards Catalyst 6.5 is recommended.", which makes no sense in this case, since this card wasn't supported by that driver, so I just kept clicking ok.
10) Soft-15KHZ's interface shows up! The catch is that instead of listing the correct card's name, it shows a list of 5 available cards, all listed as "Standard VGA Graphics ..."
11) I added all resolutions to all of the 5 listed cards and reboot.
12) Back to windows I ran Quickres and BOOM! All resolutions are now listed!!! :D
I' m pretty sure some of those steps are probably not even necessary, but if nothing works for you, give it a go.
Cheers!

Hellooo long time no use soft15khz… I did not even know that win7 was supported:). I had all types of issues with Win7 many moons ago (over 12 years) so I was using XP. Setting up two new system for my Sony PVMs and the other for a WD9800 and NEC plus..
System one.
OS - WIN7 64bit
Sof15khz - 52
video card - ATI 4670
catalyst - 12-1_xp64_dd_ccc.esxi
once you intall the catalyst drivers make sure that you run soft15khz as Administrator. If you did not do that and install the 15hkz resolution and reboot the system nothing will happen.. You will not see the 15khz and bellow resolutions.. only the higher resolutions.. so RUN SOFT15khz AS ADMINISTRATOR and once you reboot you will see the 15hkz resolution if you only installed the 15khz and not the others 24 and 31. Please forgive me if anyone else pointed this out, I have not read the entire tread:) Next step is to setup MAME:)
SailorSat --- thank you for all the hardwork and keeping soft15khz up to date… :notworthy:

The link to download the Soft 15Khz software doesn't seem to work :(

Hm... looks like the community subdomain is broken right now... I've updated the link on the first post.
