Getting Soft15Khz to work with Radeon HD 4350
« on: March 25, 2011, 03:18:32 pm »
Hey all, I've got a desktop setup with an ATI Radeon HD 4350 installed (as I've heard it works well with Soft15Khz). However, I cannot seem to get Windows XP to boot up with the 15Khz successfully outputting. If I try to boot up normally, I get a double image every time.

The ONLY way I can get a good picture is if I hook the 4350 up to an external monitor, re-apply the video settings (literally clicking Apply in Display Settings again), then unplugging the monitor's VGA and plugging in the arcade monitor. After I restart the computer, I either go back to a double image or nothing at all.

I've heard that Windows 7 actually works with Soft15Khz on a 4350, but I'm curious to see if anyone has any suggestions for this.

Thanks a bunch!

You actually need to use the dvi output of your 4350 instead of the vga, use a dvi-vga adapter for that.
Important note: posts reporting GM issues without a log will be IGNORED.
Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.

Oh my goodness, THANK YOU! I can't believe how simple a solution that was, me and my friend were literally experimenting with different software all night, I never thought that the DVI output was an option in this case.

Much appreciated, can't say how happy yet stupid I feel. :)
