Title: GeForce 4 MX440 with an arcade monitor
Post by: MrPoPo on December 06, 2002, 11:55:51 am
Hi group!!

I have a hacked arcade cabinet playing mame games in DOS mode.
It's very nice but I want to play other emus that run in (buah) Win.
Somebody have this configuration (GeForce4 + Arcade Monitor) and can run Windos in the cabinet?

Please, tell me how, I'm very,very interesting.

ThanXX.

Are you really? tell me a story, then...  =P

You could try a utility like powerstrip to try and force down your video card to display at a resolution/frequency that it would like in windows.... check over the in the monitors/video forum for a thread called "arcade monitor on windows project"

You could also wait for Andy Warnes soon to be released fancy video card specially made for just this application -> although that'd leave you with an extra geforce =P

good luck!

Ok.
But how can you get an Horizontal refresh at 15 KHz with a Vertical Refresh at 60 KHz??

I don't want to move the pots of the monitor ever I change Win/Dos modes.

FYI powerstrip is a SOFTWARE tool for adjusting video settings...

check over in the Monitor/Video forum (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=4) as this has been discussed there alot... there's no true consensus on how to do it at this point...

one thread (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=2284;start=0)

and THIS LINK will be the most helpful (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=344;start=0) I think
good luck...
