Title: CRT Vertical size problem
Post by: MikeMelga on June 02, 2023, 04:56:07 am
Hi everyone.

I have an arcade cabinet with CRT monitor connected to a PC with a J-PAC and an ArcadeVGA. Everything worked fine although I could not get the image to 'fit' vertically. The monitor's Vsize was already at the maximum.
Last week I decided to upgrade my PC. I got a newer board and a newer gfx card. I am now using an ATI HD5450 which I flashed with ATOM to get the 15khz output and I use crtemu driver for display.
I all works BUT... now I have an even smaller vertical size picture (see attached image). The vsize adjustment on the monitor is already at maximum.

Is there any way I can 'expand' the image? What do I need to change? Resolution? Refresh?
Any setting on the gfx card or driver?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Well....I don't know for sure. It came with the arcade.

From my searches online it's a Dual Frequency Philips A66EAK552X11. Thats is the correct model number but I don't know if it is Philips or not and don't know if it is dual frequency.
I've attached some pictures.

Looks like the board also has a brand.
It seems Italian.

The tube is 28". Why does the board says 17"?   ???

well you can see the problem, a 17" chassis on a 25" crt
its an intervideo vp series by looks of it
you could probably replace some components and get it to run correctly on a 25" tube

That is way out of my league... but I can try to get some professional help here.

Do you know what needs to be changed?  :)

I talked to the technician who sold me the arcade. He was also surprised. He is going to get me a 25" chassis.

Thanks for your help!
