Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards

--- Quote from: andy_blanc on June 30, 2017, 05:55:44 am ---I'm trying to run a GTX 1060 /W10 with the 2nd display connected to a B&O MX4000 using the UMSA. Does anyone know if that is even possible? The Nvidia Control Panel gives me complete control of custom timings but the closest I can get it is a split screen on 540*480i.

Split screen as in side-by-side identical images? That means you're getting 480p out of the GPU, not 480i. AFAIK there's no way to get 480i or other 15kHz modes out of an Nvidia GPU anywhere near as new as yours while using Windows. You can type what you want into the NVCP, but the driver won't deliver lower than 31kHz/480p. Linux might be another story. Sorry!

Seeing that the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro is supported, is there any possibility of hooking up an iMac (2007) with a VGA output adapter to SCART? From Sweden so our CRT's support RGB scart.
Pretty unfamiliar with this topic still as I just acquired this computer, but figured I'd throw a quick question here before I delve too deeply into how to get analog signals from certain video cards.

Late reply, but these day's you're much better off with crt_emudriver and a compatible card. A good place to start is the GroovyMAME subforum on here, which is also the crt_emudriver home, just about.

:blank: Summary: Anyone using an ATI/AMD HD 5450 or HD 5000 series GPU with Soft15khz?. No luck googling for all but one guy saying he has it "working".
Soft15khz has been serving me well paired with an ATI X700 + WG D9400 for so many years. Can't thank SailorSat enough like the rest of us here.
However, MAME development has up'd the GPU's minimum Shader Model to at least 3.0 if you're to use DirectDraw/Direct3D. Unless you set video to GDI and fix your resolution (bleh), you need to have at least a Radeon HD X1000 series GPU from 2005 or later.

My second solution to this was to "simply" use an ArcadeVGA 3000 which supports Shader Model 4.0. After many hours however, I've not been successful in having my Wells Gardner D9400 switch resolution/refresh properly. Here's my thread to troubleshoot that. Also attached that thread's photo.

Which brings me back to my first and original solution which was to buy an ATI card of this vintage/era. I found that VisonTek still sells new Radeon HD 5450 cards plus they're cheap. Unfortunately, either or both Soft15khz doesn't support this card outright or I don't have the correct model line entries to get this working. Once I run the tool whether I "install" just the 15khz, 31khz or "User" (don't know what this means) and reboot, resolutions are all wonky and I have to reset settings by reinstalling the last set of drivers from AMD/ATI:

So my PC has an old mobo with an OC'd core2duo CPU with a PCIe 1.0 x16 slot. Short of looking for one of the reportedly compatible cards below (or getting the ArcadeVGA 3000 to work), does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get the HD 5450 to work with Soft15khz?
Thanks for reading this wall of text. Hopefully someone else will find this post from google days/weeks/months/years later and have a solution other than just getting a new PC setup. :cry: :blah: :hissy: :dizzy:

Just and update in case this post is found by someone else googling months/years from now, I was able to resolve the ArcadeVGA 3000 and my Wells Gardner D9400 on Windows XP x64. I'll leave the X700 in a box in case I come across another old computer that can be used with Soft15khz.
I'm still interested in getting an ATI HD 5450 working with Soft15khz since even in 2020 they are plenty available new at stores as the bargain GPU.
