ATI pro graphs card
« on: February 19, 2006, 05:00:09 pm »
I'm trying to get an arcade monitor to work. The graphs card I'm using is an ATI pro - Does anyone know if this card can drive the arcade monitor?

Not sure I've heard of an "ATI Pro" - but its probably a "Rage Pro" ATI card....

IIRC these are actually quite capable of driving a 15Khz arcade monitor - thebigger issue is how you are going to drive the card.

ie AdvanceMame via Dos, you will probably be fine (download the Live bootable advancemame CD and try) but probably not so easy in windows XP, not sure.

Its not too bad in Windows XP.

You need to know the hclock/pclock and vclock of your monitor.... you need to load the svgawin.exe file that comes with advancemame. And then you need to configure the screen using the advcfg utility that comes with advancemame. (Use the advmame.rc option when starting it so it writes to that file.)

Otherwise, the boot CD is another option, although I have never tried it. I use a Geforce 2 MX card in my machine, works fine. I have heard that ATI cards work better, but, my ATI Radeon 9600XT card didnt work at all with Advancemame. So it really depends on the exact model of the card.
