Soft15khz alternative?

Pages: (1/4) > >>

ultrageek:

I stumbled across the Nvidia Control Panel a couple days ago, purely by accident. I have a Dell D630 laptop with an Nvidia Quadro NVS 135M video card.

I don't run mame on my laptop, but the configuration app that came with the card looks like it has a lot of the same abilities as Soft15khz (which I have never used  :-))

I tried setting the resolution to unusual resolutions and refresh rates (without jeopardizing my hardware) like 200V x 480 H and 480V x 200 H, both at 60hz refresh.

Neither one looked good on my laptop LCD, but they seemed to be functional.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen and tried this on a their cab?
I'm quite used to being told that things I say are big "DUH!" monents.

Screen shots...

dig a little deeper, 15Khz is the horizontal scan rate

Check his 2nd to last screen shot with the advanced settings.  Looks like you could potentially come up with some 15khz modes with this.  Interesting.

I dont see where it allows for adjustment, maybe I'm missing something ?

Looks like I have this same nvidia control panel on my work laptop too.  I was able to get this calculated 15khz mode (but of course no way of testing it).  This page explains how to get the various parameters from a modeline.  Not sure if I did it right though.  I hope someone that has this hooked up to an arcade monitor can try it out...

I would be willing to bet NVidia got the idea for this from SailorSat!
