Ok, STUMPED! Need help with TV as monitor! Please please!

Hey guys my build is done but I'm stuck!

I have a pc connected to a Sony wega kv-27fs120 through component cables and tc 1600 transcoder. I'm using ati 4350 video card as well.

Ok so many choices like emu crt but I read it might not work with hyperspin and crash it. Soft 15 maybe or arcade vga from ultimarc? What do I do?

 Also what about the boot screen.......that has to be downgraded in resolution and emu and soft 15 won't touch that! So I guess I have to go arcade vga?

Ahhhh what the heck! Please someone help me. Getting really frustrated cuz this is the last step of my build.

Kevin :banghead:

Best get yourself over to the GroovyMAME forum.

With some patience and reading you should be able to achieve everything want by using an ATI card (4xxx series) flashed with the ATOM-15 bios, the CRT Emudriver and GroovyMAME running super resolutions (to achieve perfect horizontal centering and sizing and also keep the modeline list down so Hyperspin doesn't crash.)

That combination will allow you to see the boot screens, run Hyperspin and have native resolutions for your games.

Thank you so much for the tip. Off to the forums!!
