Has anyone noticed a slugishness in trackball games (specifically Centipede and Millipede) after installing this awesome utility? I'm not sure if it's related, but now there is a slight delay from when I physically move the trackball and when my player moves.
Running at different resolutions can cause frame rate glitches. How MAME runs natively (and as I've said before, this seems to be getting worse as MAME develops) can affect this. As well, how your monitor interacts with MAME is a factor. Analog monitors I've used, as long as you're giving good and correct signal wiring-wise, and you're within operational range signal-wise, have been smoooooth with regular MAME. Older MAME, anyways. My digital multi-sync, on the other hand, is a little finicky at times, cos it has specific modes of its own. (Another reason I stick with AdvanceMAME is that it runs the best in this case.) |

SailorSat, any news about the windows7 situation?
Is there anyone using it successfully with the final version of win7?
Thanks,

This is also something I would also like to know. I have Windows 7 64 Bit, and there is a XP compatibility mode ... I'm not sure if that would be usefull though in this application. |

Sorry for the time being  Currently I'm a little frustrated about reallife stuff =) Lookin for a new job and desperately searching for some stuff I did showing what I can... And MAME hacks and that stuff sure doesn't help. Ever tried to "show" someone how soft15khz works without a 15khz capable display? ^^ Geez... As for Windows7; the compatiblity mode won't help. For some reason I think the last time I tried it only worked with NVidia cards as the ATI cards won't show up any lowres modes for some unknown reason. However I can't look into it at the moment. |

Basicaly it does.
It DOES support INDEPENTEND settings if you have multiple graphic cards.
As for single card solutions... well... currently all settings are applied to "all heads" of a graphic card.
If you want to drive two arcade screens with one or two cards, it works fine.
If you want to drive one arcade and one vga screen, you will need to use two cards.

Kick ass! I've picked up a Punch Out cab that has been JAMMAtized. I am debating whether to restore to Punch Out or to make it a dedicated Multi Punch Out MAME cab. I think Punch Out, Super Punch Out, and Arm Wrestling as well as PC-10 stuff would be pretty cool to have running in this cab. Since I have to use a JPAC, I guess I'd use the JPAC for the arcade controls and the lower monitor, then just run a break out cable to the 2nd monitor from the 2nd header...right? |

Soft15 has for a long time apparently registered both heads, though. I was under the impression they were independently configurable - but then, why would it matter, if you can set independent resolutions via your drivers?

Just started testing this program and have run into problems already
I install the nvidia drivers for my 6800 GS then use the tool quickres to select 640 x 480, then I install soft15khz and reboot
it works fine on my arcade monitor I can see windows after a reboot then when I uninstall the soft15khz and reboot it gets locked in 15khz mode
why does it do this shouldnt it reset to normal when I uninstall?
I have a monitor switch so i can easily change between PC monitor and arcade monitor.
thanks

Well I run into sompthing odd the other night.. I had a problem with some registry corruption on a machine I was cab testing well when It would boot it was showing the boot screen in split mode and the windows startup screen also, but after fixing the registry it went back to the way it always is , that you cant read anything till windows load the soft15k stuff... Is this weird or what? It almost looked like when it devides the 30khz into the 15khz on jpac.
