Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards
SailorSat:
Err... Not really, I just use the base ones :)
However I got something lurking around.
We have the "Cruis'n"-Resolution (25kHz though)
modeline "512x400 25kHz 57Hz" 15,87 512 576 640 640 400 404 408 435 -hsync -vsync

Cool.
Hey just to test since I am limited with modelines right now on nvidia card. can you tell me what modeline would run pacman as close as possible to its orginal state. Keep in mind I am running a Bilabs 27 inch monitor in the horizontal position.
thanks sailor
Btw I havent heard back from the omega driver team yet. I know you had mentioned intel driver limit. When he responses to my email I can ask about that too. Do you want to tell me specifically what to ask about the intel driver need to be addressed?

Err... Is that a Multisync Monitor or just 15kHz?
In 15kHz you would use 352x288, however the game will be slowed down from 60Hz to 50Hz.
In 25kHz i would use 512x384, although you will get some borders above and below.
Its quite impossible to get close to its real state on a standard Arcade Monitor, although it COULD be possible your monitor can go up to something like 16.5kHz, and a vertical refresh of say 55 to 56Hz, however I wouldn't fool around with that as it would certainly not work with other games/resolutions.

Somewhere in there should be a counter running from 1 to 5, in Intel GMA drivers it references to "DTD_#" where # is the number. In the Intel Embedded drivers the same happens, although the registry key has another name.
bent98:
27" 15~48 kHz VeriFlat™
Autosync™
CGA/EGA/VGA/SVGA/XGA Penta-Resolution
V-Freq. 47~90 Hz
those are the specs so yes I can do 16.5hz. Would you be able to give me the specifix modeline that in your option would best run pacman.
thanks again for your help sailor

Be VERY carefull :) I don't belive there are that many monitors that support 15kHz - 31kHz, most support only 15-16kHz, 24-25kHz, 31+kHz.
However here we have 3 modelines running 352x288 pixel resolution with real 55Hz, 57Hz or 60Hz
--- Code: ---modeline '352x288 18,7kHz 60Hz' 8,68 352 368 408 464 288 289 292 312 -hsync -vsync
modeline '352x288 17,7kHz 57Hz' 8,25 352 368 408 464 288 289 292 312 -hsync -vsync
modeline '352x288 17,1kHz 55Hz' 7,96 352 368 408 464 288 289 292 312 -hsync -vsync
--- End code ---
Those are way higher than 16.5kHz ("extended resolution").
Although your monitor won't blow up if it doesn't work.
