sailor

So are you saying that with this dongle I can use a Nvidia GTX290 and get all the screens resolutions the ATI's get? Also Will the work with Vista 64 drivers?

I used those geforce 7 series resolution fixes, and they worked great on the 15KHz resolutions. But would someone be able to help me come up with new modelines for these following resolutions that are rolling:
512x288
800x600
1024x768

They don't double up or anything, just something about the refresh rates is making them roll. Thanks!

Here's a question for all the resolution guru's.  I've got a WG D9800.  I'm running windows XP and I've got a PC with an onboard Nvidia 6150.

I got Soft-15Khz going on it last week, and most of the games look spectacular (SailorSat, you really desearve a medal or something for hooking us all up with this).  However, on a few of the games, the geometry on my monitor is pretty bad, and no amount of tweaking of the digital settings can fix it.

In particular, Mortal Kombat (running at 401x256 I believe) and Paperboy (running at one of the 25 Khz rezes) both have an hourglass like shape to the picture.  I can't get rid of the it no matter how much I tweak the monitor settings.  I don't get why these resolutions look so weird, while all of the more conventional resolutions look just fine. 
THE SYSTEM          Popeye

About how much do you think those dongles will cost? I have a spare 8800GTS so I would be interested in one.

Will this work also with newer ATi's?
So we can get low res + no limit on the number of res (limit that nvidia has, right?).

Hi there,
I finally decided to register here because I'm pulling my hair out looking for a good video solution for my cabinet.

First off, I'm wondering if there are any video cards that i could find at an actual store that are compatible with soft 15khz (obviously geforce 8 &9 are out of the question, but what about ATI).  The reason I ask is because I just ordered a Radeon X1950, and when I opened it the damn thing had two DVI ports despite everything from the ad right down to the invoice listing (and showing) a VGA port. :banghead:

So yeah, I'm stuck looking for a pci-e card with native vga that is faster than the arcadeVGA.

Failing that, I'd love some more info on the adapter everyone's been talking about for the last page or so.

PS: kinda off topic, but is there an XP64-bit driver for the arcadeVGA?  Cuz if I have to fall back on that piece of junk I really don't wanna go back to vista :cry:

Not yet. Still haven't found out how to get lowres from those ATIs.

Actually just use a DVI-VGA Adapter. They are pure mechanical and don't change any signal.

Well, I've built a dongle so you can use GeForce 8, 9, GTX and newer stuff for lowres.
However there are only 10 right now, which I wired by hand.

As far as I know, there are no XP64 drivers for it.

Thanks for clearing some of that up, Sailor.

About the DVI-VGA adapter, I tried using that with another X1950 but when I feed it to my Betson tri-sync monitor, 640x480 is the only resolution that displays right.

800x600 comes in at 50hz, and on lower resolutions the monitor freaks out and gives absurdly high refresh rates.  After doing some reading in here I got the impression that an adapter wouldn't cut it and that something about the basic nature of DVI prevented it from outputting low resolutions.

That's what made me go hunting for VGA version of the card, but it's certainly possible that I just made a dumb assumption.
If I've overlooked some other minor yet crucial detail in setting this up, I'd be grateful to know what it is.

I'm not sure why this didn't occur to me sooner, but is soft 15khz even compatible with the XP 64bit driver model, cuz I just noticed the FAQ does'nt mention it specifically.  If not, that certainly explains things. :o

It does work with XP64, but you may need to tweak some modelines for your x1950 card.

I run a sapphire X1950 PRO 512MB DDR3 AGP through a DVI to VGA adapter and everything is great and it is also the strongest vga card that was made.

Runnng on Xp Pro Sp3

no vista or 64bit OS although the processor is a AMD 64bit but not the OS.

35 pages of post reading and I still can't seem to grasp what I'm supposed to be doing...man i feel dense.

Anyways, I have Radeon HD4350 card.  Right now i have the vga plugged into a regular flat screen monitor (so i can read and research my issues).  My arcade setup i'm trying for it to connect the dvi to the component inputs on my 27" Ilo tv.

When I hook up the dvi to the tv all i get is "no signal detected".  I loaded powerstrip the other day and messed around with that only to get where I tried the 640x480i arcade mode and that didnt change anything.  But when I manually move the counter on the refersh down to around 30khz i get scrolling purple lines.  thats about all i can get.

So i tried loading your software but cant quite figure out what i'm supposed to be doing.  I downloaded the quickres and have that running and i click on your soft15 executable.  That opens up the window where i see two adapter entries.  It doesnt matter which I click on though none of the install buttons go active to let me actually install anything.

I feel like i'm missing even the basic first steps here before i even get into messing with resolution changes and dont know what to do next.

How do i get the install buttons to activate?

If this does actually work and i get a signal to my tv from the video card thats legible, do i then setup the computer to auto run the soft15 and quickres software at bootup going forward to use mame?

Thanks for the patience and assistance.

Err... DVI to Component Oo
Never seen a cable like that before.
I can't tell if it actually would do anything.

Whatver...

All settings will be stored in the registry so you don't have to rerun Soft-15kHz.
However you may add QuickRes if you plan to switch through resolutions.

Please note QuickRes online works with the "primary" Display adapter in Windows, which I think will be your FlatScreen Monitor.

try it on the C: drive instead of destop if you have not done so already.

As far as the DVI to component..what do most folks use to connect their dvi out from the graphics card to their monitor/tv?  I thought DVI to component was viable no?  If not what other means are there to connect to an SDTV?  My ILO tv has composite, component and svideo inputs on it.

As far as the drivers I"m using the 9.1 catalyst set from ATI for my HD4350 card.  I'm running windows XP as the OS on the pc.

If i can't get a signal to the tv out of the dvi how can i enable it as the primary display to use quickres?

Thanks

your card should have a S-video port between the two DVI ports and it also should have came with a converter that breaks out into a RGB cable.

 I use DVI to VGA adapter also included with the card and have it running to a arcade monitor.

I never tried anything on a regular tv becuase I heard the picture is not even close to the arcade monitor display quality so I am no help there with TV anything.

The svideo out works fine except that the image quality on a lot of the games is fuzzy/shifted looking.  Thats what prompted me to try to use the DVI output on the video card instead of the svideo and run dvi to component into the tv.

This is where my problem is.  It doesnt recognize any signal coming out dvi to component so I think I need to mess around with the different resolution/refresh rate and was hoping to use soft15 for that but can't get it to work.  None of the install buttons on soft15 are enabled when I run the program they're all greyed out.

Most likely Catalyst 9 is no more compatible.

Yes..I have the folder on my computer.  I am able to run the program and it starts and shows me my driver but when I select it the buttons on the bottom are all disabled so I cant actually install any 15khz or 30khz etc resolutions.

Man! You are on it! K, looks like the 8.11 is the newest set I can run:-) I'm going to give that a go, will report back with more info. Thanks so much for your help.

So yeah I tried my 4850 using catalyst 9.1 in winxp64 and I couldn't get soft15khz to work at all :(

No bigge as I have another computer with a geforce2 ti I can use, which was almost plug and play for me SailorSat, great work!

Now to get my hands on a Naomi! then my cabinet (for me) will be complete!

It looks like I finally can be happy again.

First thing... Scrap 321x240 and 401x256, welcome 320x240 and 400x256, at least on ATI HD 4000 series and all other non-ATI chips.
Second thing. My HD 4350 makes me pretty happe as it does support 320x240 without fancy hacks AND it supports even the lowest pixel clocks.
Tinkering around has been quite funny.

Also... I'm finally starting to dig into vista, as I got a new mobo for my testrig.
But don't expect anything on THAT topic anytime soon.

Now I thought this was a matter of Windows. But no?  And how'd you do that?

Yeah I thought too.
But some testing showed that it's rather a bug in the catalyst as it works fine on my GeForce and Matrox cards.

I ****LOVE**** Soft15Khz!

I just picked up a black NEC Multisync FE2111 EB monitor.  It drops down to as low as 240x240 with no problems.  I have been with Mame since version .01 and let me tell you, I fell in love with it all over again!!  This is the monitor EVERYONE needs!  In the past, I have played around with scanline files and it didn't look bad, but until you have a monitor and video card that can drop down to its native resolution, You have not played MAME!  I am using a GeForce FX 5600 video card btw.

Now, I have a question for the experts, as I have only been using Soft15 for a short time....   

Obviously, when I drop down to the games native resolution (listed in Mame), I get the scan lines.  They look FANTASTIC btw!!  But anyhow....   On horizontal games, they look great, but when I rotate a vertical game 90 degrees, the scan lines are going the wrong way.  It still look fantastic....  But the perfectionist in me would love to get the horizontal scan lines in the vertical games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.  I know you can make custom resolutions, so would a 240 x 256 (opposed to 256 x 240) do the trick for a game like Pac-Man??

Scotty

PS- I got the MultiSync **FREE** off of Craigs List.  A graphics design company in Cleveland upgraded to flat pannels, and wanted rid of five 19-21" monitors.  Only one was a Multisync, but WOW!!!

Technically you can't rotate the scanlines without rotating the monitor.

That is actually the plan.  I have not rotated the MultiSnc, but I have rotated all my past 17, 19 and 21's.
