ArcadeVGA default drivers or CRT EMU drivers instead

(1/3) > >>

MarioSanchez:
Hi Guys,

Here is my setup:
I have a Blast City (Nanao ms-2930) connected with jamma -> pc with an ArcadeVGA 2 (not the 3000). Win XP 32bit installed with MaLa Frontend and the latest Groovymame version. Mame.ini monitor settings best for ms2930 added.

I installed the original drivers for my ArcadeVGA from the Ultimarc site but some games are still not full screen, certainly not 100 percent arcade perfect. Starforce and Bombjack for instance. This is a resolution issue as far as i know...., so maybe i should use the calamity drivers instead?

Many thanks.

Regards Mario

You can't use CRT_EMU drivers with the AVGA as it's video modes can't be modified. Unless the AVGA 2 is somehow different than the 3000.
 
There is a utility called "ArcadePerfect" from Ultimarc that can get you closer to perfect but technically not perfect.  ;)

MarioSanchez:
Thank you very much. What i understand from your reply is that there' s a better alternative? if yes witch one?

Thanks again :D


regards Mario

There were three different cards billed as the "ArcadeVGA 2"...

Radeon 9200 / 9250 AGP
Radeon X550 PCIe
Radeon HD2400 PCIe

According to Calamity, the Radeon 92xx AGP model works with CRT_EmuDriver. 
I'm not sure about the two later cards.

I'm pretty sure that the original ArcadeVGA Radeon 7000 AGP model works with Calamity's drivers as well.

The ArcadeVGA 3000 definitely does not work with CRT_EmuDriver.

Calamity:
Krick is right, there several different models of ArcadeVGA 2, at least some of them should work, it's a matter of trying.
