Basic CRT EMU driver questions
Tatas:
Alright, I've uninstalled the drivers and the CCC package. I used driver sweeper and regcleaner to make sure all parts of it were gone. I then reinstalled the modified 9.3 catalyst driver and ran VMMaker. Again this only produced 60 modelines when choosing "NTSC" as the monitor type. Just for fun I switched it back to "Custom" as the file has it set natively. Voila, 118 modes detected. I tested out a few games and things look good. However some games are still causing issues DoDonPachi is one of them. I've attached the txt file as you've asked. It looks like the 57HZ it's trying to use might be out of range for the TV. Another side issue is that Hyperspin will now no longer launch. Not sure how it's related to the steps I've taken, but I'll be troubleshooting that in the meantime. Thanks again for your help.
Calamity:
Hi Tatas,
The HS problem with CRT_Emudriver is a classic indeed, it crashes when there are too many modelines installed in the system. That should be fixed in HS 2.0.
There's a temporary workaround for it (check this thread, "magic resolutions"):

You'll probably need to make a custom monitor_specs line for your TV, limiting lower vertical refresh to something higher than 57.55 Hz.
Tatas:
Roger that. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll get to work on this tomorrow night when I get back in town.
Tatas:
Ok, I followed the link your provided and thought I followed the steps correctly, but it seems I've taken a few steps backwards now. Now I have difficulty running just about any game. The screen flips constantly and seems to be pushed to the left. I've attached the output files for two sample games (dodonpachi and puzzle bobble 3). I've also attached my vmmaker.ini and modeline.txt file. I tried changing what I thought was the lower end of the v freq., but that doesn't seem to change the accepted modelines list.
monitor_specs_0 = "15625-16200, 58-65.00, 2.000, 4.700, 8.000, 0.064, 0.160, 1.056, 0, 0, 288, 448"
It still looks like frequencies of lower than 58 are being chosen. Thank You.
Tatas:
It looks as if every "magic" resolution is flipping vertically on me. I've reverted the modeline a bit after reading some more. I'm now attempting to use:
monitor_specs_0 = "15625-15800, 49-65.00, 2.000, 4.700, 8.000, 0.064, 0.160, 1.056, 0, 0, 288, 448"
Unfortunately it doesn't seem like anything is changing after modifying this line in the vmmaker.ini, running vmmaker, and then rebooting. I still see the vertical flipping of the picture.
