15KHZ on a 31KHZ Monitor
genesim:
I got that, I really do.
But my point is that a scaling is occuring and perhaps this technology can be of use here. It is what I have been saying all along.
But of course I have to completely understand how this was achieved. And of course how something like Advance MAME outputs the 15khz signal to a arcade monitor if it is like what ahofle said where it is just drawing and not really 15khz.
Jack Burton:
Genesim, all models of the arcadeVGA and advancemame are capable of sending "true" 15khz signals to an arcade monitor.
15khz only arcade monitors won't accept any signal other than a 15khz one (or in a few cases 16khz).
The arcadeVGA is completely independent of MAME when it comes to producing a 15khz image. People display all manner of emulators and applications in 15khz through it, and you can even view windows in 640x480i.
genesim:
I am getting frustrated. I am talking about emulator to grapics card and everyone keeps telling me graphics card to monitor.
I guess I just don't understand at all.
From my understanding the Ultimarc Arcade VGA is taking a 15khz signal of some kind and scaling it to PC resolution.
I would really like to understand this part.
What comes out, is immaterial to me. It is what is coming into to be processed by the card that is supposedly different from a PCB.
Bluedeath:
i suggest you to start reading the WIKI it will help you a lot.
genesim:
Or how about answering the direct question?
Even on here there is conflicting information.

xxxxxxxxxxx

--- Quote ---(referring to Arcade VGA on Ultimarc's site)All the native game resolutions are available on both the arcade and the PC monitor.

xxxxxxx
Then of course this is this.
--- Quote ---About the only things that I have seen put out 15KHz are arcade PCBs and CGA video cards
--- End quote ---
Then I say:
--- Quote ---If this is true, then what is the purpose of Advance MAME?
--- End quote ---
So then a retort happens that says this.
--- Quote ---MAME doesn't produce any video signals.
--- End quote ---
So what happens...I get corrected with:
--- Quote ---all models of the arcadeVGA and advancemame are capable of sending "true" 15khz signals to an arcade monitor.
--- End quote ---
How about correcting others instead and tell them to read the wiki??
I was originally asking the question, but it seems that I understood it correct from the beginning which is MAME behaves like a PCB when paired with a graphics card, so the end result can be what Arcade VGA offers...either true 15khz signal or scalled 15khz signal to a PC Monitor.
Which goes back to my first post, yeah...Arcade VGA can do a 15khz to 31khz conversion.
