Title: Switching to WINXP and need a Front end that will freq instantly
Post by: Jetto Funk on February 10, 2004, 01:33:50 am

Well since I'm pretty much rebuilding my cab I might as well update it and get with the present.
I've been using arcadeos and running straight from dos, I like arcadeos because it's simple and is able to boot in the correct freq needed for an arcade monitor, so heres my questions:
Which WINXP F/E is user friendly and has the ability to boot straight into an arcade machines frequency so that it's viewable on the machine right away?
I've been playing with ARCADE@HOME but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the frequency so that it's instantly viewable by an arcade machine.
Any help will be appriciated, thanks.

Also wrong solution.....  this is a hardware issue.... your solution is to get an arcadevga or other video card capable of sending out arcade frequencies.  

If not then it's IMPOSSIBLE to have a fe in xp instantly send out the proper signal as xp needs to boot and then the software you are using to set the frequency and then the fe itself.  Even if the fe is set as the shell, xp first boots up in a "normal" resolution just before you log in.  In terms of software this is how xp works.  Sorry.
