Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards
SailorSat:
They're still in bussiness, although most like with integrated stuff for notebooks and settop boxes.
I'm trying to get my hand on a V5 or V8 for quite some time, but can only find V3 cards.
Sure they're quite rare like a matrox parhelia... who really buys matrox today?
Going to take a look on eBay :)

Thank you for this awesome tool! ;D
I am using a 27" TV connected by component cables to a dvi to component on my Nvidia Gforce6200, can I use this program to be able to get a better video quality?

Would there be any damage to the monitor if I selected a 15khz resolution? I just want to be sure, as I'll be setting up my dedicated MAME PC today or tomorrow, but I won't have an actual arcade monitor hooked up to it for a while.

JJ, I have been messing with this yesterday and I've got a normal Multisync PC monitor on the vga connector of my card (Radeon 9600) and my Scart TV (RGB) hooked up to my DVI port (through a VGA convertor and a hacked VGA cable). I setup the TV to clone the pc monitor.
When I have a standard VGA rez 640x480 the PC monitor displays fine and the TV interlaces. If I select a true 15KHz mode the PC Monitor just goes blank (out of range) and the TV shows the de-interlaced image. I haven't had a problem with the PC monitor or the TV duffing up. If I select a rez not suitable for the TV then it just doesn't sync (like Sailor Sat says). I couldn't guarantee that all monitors and TV's would be happy but this is my experience.
The only problem I did have is when I selected a resoultion (i think it was 848 x 480) and neither the PC monitor or TV could sync. I then had to go into safe mode and uninstall the video card to reset the driver.
Hope this helps!

You should give the newer QuickRes a try, If you switch to a resolution like that, simply hit ESC on the keyboard and it goes back.

Couldn't you have just booted into Safe Mode and uninstalled/reinstalled your drivers from there?
