a VGA to Component cable

First off, seems you may have trivialized this aspect as per that TV set's picture and it's quite a bit involved actually. You should ask around about this, but an ordinary VGA-to-YPP cable won't do. Besides properly making the color-space conversion, you also need to get 15 kHz, since that's what the card will output once you finish the process properly. So ask about 15-kHz transcoders.

Secondly, why this, may I ask?

I'd truly follow Calamity's guide and try to get a more usual install before attempting to use two cards simultaneously.

Opening post edited; let me know if you don't like it.

There shouldn't be any limitation in regards to the number of posted links, if you face again the issue, please, post the content here under the code instruction so we can look into it:

We cannot merge threads, but you can paste that post's content here by editing any of your posts as you like (except for the thread's title).

Let me know when it's done and I'll delete the other thread afterwards.

I'm sure Calamity will give this a look as soon as he finds a moment, whenever that happens. In the meanwhile, please, keep the subject within one only thread, even if you have to "reply" to yourself.

How exactly did you uninstall CRT Emudriver?

If you're somewhere in the Americas, I'm not the best to tell, but it'll definitely lead to getting another monitor. An arcade monitor, aside of being bigger, always used RGB signal, which happens to be the cleanest, best video you can get for non-HD gaming, so you should look for 15-kHz RGB monitors.

Unfortunately most TVs sold outside Europe didn't have RGB inputs, so "easy" options are few and expensive -- old 15-kHz computer monitors or broadcasting displays and the likes. There're arcade monitors as well but they're not easy to use without a cab. They're bigger, though.

You can get a TV set with component video inputs as well as mentioned -- many people use transcoders, which, if working properly, will get you the same result as RGB as it's just a color-space conversion. Again, TVs like these aren't easy to find at this point, I guess, and a good, verified transcoder isn't cheap, either.

Some people are modding non-RGB TVs for RGB, and some others are just using high-end PC CRT monitors with double-scan offset techniques (as they're 31-kHz RGB and above) with acceptable results. This latter option has the advantage of also serving for displaying high-resolution games as they should.

Asking here will likely give you more precise answers as it's a US-based forum:

Nope. CRT Tools are suitable only for RGB signals. And for a reason, believe me.

First and foremost is knowing which video inputs that TV set allows. A quick Google-fu tells me that it's an American model, perhaps? So hardly it'll work with RGB, which is mandatory for this purpose. If it does with component video signal (unlikely at that size, I'd say), there're transcoders to do the conversion from RGB, but usually they're not cheap nor hassle-free.

Once you have the TV issue sorted out, you need the proper video cables, which will depend on your transcoder's demands. As for the software part, here in this forum is all you'll need.

No problem.

Yours could be a non-issue, actually, but likely you'll get a better answer on Retro Arch's own forum. Did you try there?

La mejor manera de diagnosticar problemas es vía "log" de Groovy MAME ejecutando un juego problemático:

Steps to create a log:
- From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
- Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.

Lo puedes pegar aquí (embebido en la instrucción code (botón <>)), pero es frecuente obtener ayuda más rápidamente desde el foro de Groovy MAME, si te defiendes con el inglés:

El refresco vertical determina el posicionamiento en la vertical, si bien no así la amplitud, de manera que sería normal que tuvieras que reposicionar la imagen en función del refresco pero no aumentar el tamaño. Probablemente los 56 Hz de Avenging Spirit están activando el modo PAL de tu TV, por lo que intenta condenarlo desde el menú del aparato.

¿Este?

No es un codificador, sino un conversor del muestreo. ¿Lo que quieres es usar Groovy MAME en una pantalla plana? ¿?

No, it isn't. You're facing a configuration mistake, most likely. You'll be required to send a log to properly diagnose the problem:

I'm not used to RA so I'm not the best to tell, but, if I'm not mistaken, unlike most other programs, RA these days indeed "overrides" AOSD definitions much like Groovy MAME does, so your best bet is asking in the RA forum how to properly configure it for what you want to do (i. e. porting a specific modeline from, say, AOSD).

Said that, what you want to do goes against any possible logic. If RA has evolved in this particular regard lately is precisely to keep the original video timings and be as accurate as possible to the emulated hardware. You're sacrificing all this (and at the cost of a +8 % speed jump, no less) just to get a full-screen display, which either, isn't supposed to be, or is easily achievable with the monitor's (TV's) geometry settings.

What do you mean with this?

i changed the vertical resolution of the 256x192

You can't change the v. resolution and still get 192 lines. And if you alter the vertical geometry with AOSD you'll be changing the v. refresh as well.

Anyway, normally a mode of 192 h. lines is not really intended for full-screen display -- black borders at top and bottom are naturally present since ordinary 15-kHz CRTs expect 224 lines and above. You can "force", however, full screen by messing with the monitor's vertical amplitude, though other geometry aspects may suffer in the process.

There at BYOAC there're people saying it's possible.

(8 replies, posted in Support)

Likely it wouldn't. It's not an easy search, as far as I've read -- there're very few transcoders available that work properly for this, it seems. The subject have been discussed more than once on BYOAC:

If your TV doesn't support RGB you'll need a transcoder, yep. Many people are modding their TVs for RGB if they're good sets, on the other hand.

It's said that R-9 supports DVI-I analogue out up to the 380/380X model. That should be the most powerful if you're using it for something else than GM.

It is also said that you can use any AMD card just to output 15 kHz and use a stronger Nvidia GPU to handle the rest. Don't ask me how, though.

All the pics on this server/under this domain:

http://www.abadiadelcrimen.com

...should give you the same result with the same web browser, yeah -- it seems Chrome doesn't like it.

I'll try to move them as well one of these days.

Done. Can you see them now?

It's a matter of you people using awful browsers like Chrome and its family. I'll try moving them later to see if that solves it. Thanks for the heads-up.

Which ones? They work here. They're hosted on another server, though (Calamity, let me know if you want me to upload them to mine).

I'm afraid it doesn't allow for now -- it should happen at some point, but not any time soon.

Around the 1st of January we'll be migrating once again. This time it's sure the Forum will be down for several days --probably weeks--, given that we'll likely need to update de DB's and change the software.

The GM guide was captured here in case it's needed:

Some archived threads, from here:

Again, any news in case we can't get this working again, we'll be posted here:

So keep this in mind.

Also, any post after the 28th of December will be lost forever due to this process.


Best wishes,
