Anyway to remove flicker? ... (Solved)
« on: April 23, 2014, 07:21:05 am »
Hi,

I'm trying to remove unwanted flicker from my setup, which is;

PC running Sega Model 2 Emulator connected to Sanwa 29e31s VGA arcade monitor.

I've tried to tackle this in the past, using powerstrip without any joy.

My question is, if I setup powerstrip to output at a lower frequency and then fit a CGA/EGA to VGA converter between PC and monitor would this remove the flicker?

EDIT

I managed to sort this by adjusting the 3D settings (anti-aliasing, anisotropic etc...) in my GPU settings.

If I understand you correctly you drive the VGA monitor directly from the VGA card? There should be no interlace flicker then.
I do all that stuff even without a Joystick ;)

Not sure why I'm getting it then. It isn't there on the hyperspin frontend, it's only on the Sega Model 2 Emulator games.
I'm running the SM2 emu at 600 x 480 res, the same as the gpu card.
I've tried tinkering with the SM2 emu settings and resolutions without any luck.
