No sound in many games in groovymame? (HD4350 related? CRT_Emu?)
krick:
I agree. Follow Calamity's instructions over mine. He has more experience at this than I do.
Calamity:
First CRT_Emudriver 9.3. Then the other individual packages from the link: HDMI and WDM.
The problem with updated Windows XP distributions is that they ship drivers which versions are newer than the CRT_Emudriver's. Windows has some sort of driver cache which makes it very hard to get rid of those. Windows insists on reinstalling its own version just because it's newer and that's all that seems to matter.
They can get removed in fact, it's difficult but possible, it may require to boot on safe mode and remove the driver manually from device manager.
Just focus on the HDMI and WDM stuff, the Emudriver is fine.
Endprodukt:
Problem is: I can't get rid of the newer driver no matter how often I go to the device manager in safe mode and delete the driver. It's reinstalling on the next boot. Second problem is I don't know which driver in the package you send me is actually the right one. Third problem is: Is it normal that I get prompted by windows that there could be an compatibility issue when installing the emu_driver?
krick:
The error at the end of the CRT_EmuDriver install is normal. There's two that I've personally seen...
The the first is a "copy file" error. From my research, this error is caused by the missing Catalyst Control Panel software in the CRT_EmuDriver package.
The second error I've seen is a "thunk.exe" error, which is what I think your seeing. There error says something like...
"'Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system. Setup will now exit."
This second error only happens to me with with 9.3 CRT_EmuDriver, and from my research, it's related to something called "Smart Gart" that is supposed to pick the best resolution for the next restart at the end of the driver install. For some reason, it chokes when trying to set the resolution. I think it's because none of the newly installed CRT_EmuDriver resolutions are appropriate for a PC monitor. What happened to me what that when I rebooted with my arcade monitor attached, it was trying to start up in 640x480 but not interlaced, which won't work on an low res arcade monitor.
So in my case, I had to run VMMaker after installing CRT_EmuDriver on my PC before rebooting and attaching the arcade monitor and then everything was cool.

If you mean Windows complaining about the driver not being signed, then that's fine. If it's something else, then I haven't ever seen it.
It's been long since I run into issues with the driver and it was never because of the WDM thing, I believe it should be possible to replace the existing version with the ones I linked, but I'm not sure how. It might require to uninstall several devices at a time to get it to work.
Sorry for this. If this method doesn't work try Krick's idea.
