FS: mini SLG 2X (scanline generator) (Colorado, USA)

Just tested. the lowest I can go is 800x600 but the mini SLG doesn't create lines at that resolution.
Only seems to make lines when it is set to 1024 x 768
Adapter details:
Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family
6/27/2088
6.14.10.4964
UPDATE-
Tested in 60-1 setup- PAC-MAN LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!! but the main menu looks "washed out"
Tested in 19-1 setup- the main menu is very washed out, and the scan lines look "too fat".
So in the earlier test using the miniSLG with the 1024x768 MAME setup made Joust look closer to a real CRT, than the 19-1 board.

You probably need to go to the advanced setting to list all of the available resolutions. Not in front if my computer so I can't give you exact directions but I think it's advanced setting and the list all modes. Take a look around in the resolution settings.

Yep that is correct, the mini SLG works with resolutions that have a negative vsync, which is primarily 640x480 and 1024x768. 800x600 uses a +vsync signal. Some users actually use that to thur advantage and set MAME front ends to run at 800x600 or 1280x1024 so the menu doesn't have scanlines, then run their games at 640x480 or 1025x768.
If you click on "advanced settings" from the Screen Resolutions dialog, and then "list all modes", often you'll see a 640x480 resolution (60hz) choice even though that mode doesn't show up in the basic settings dialog for screen resolutions.
Can you post a photo of the 60-in-1 menu screen? Does it look the same with the black & silver units I sent (same for the 19-in-1)?

I wrote a long reply but it got erased when the post updated....
summary, my laptop is fighting going lower than 800x600 without changing driver.
but per the prior test Joust looks a lot better with 1024x768 and the miniSLG than the 19-1 output.
If I could get the background on mame darkened up, it would be very nice setup.
Another question- where does one find long enough screws to hold that adapter in place and to the monitor cable? I can't think of a way to hold it secure.
CraftyMech:
Some laptop hardware won't go down to 640x480 I've noticed, I guess some vendors just decided no one uses that resolution anymore.
I might just start including screws with all the units. They are not thumbscrews so you need a tiny screwdriver, but if you need strain relief for the connection they would do the job.

Low res games really get a nice visual boost on an LCD with scan lines :)
