Great! Thanks for testing.

The error under Windows 10 is expected. Next version will probably implement Direct3D instead of the deprecated DirectDraw.

I was worried about Windows 7, it's nice that it's fixed.

Let me know if you still need any information about your first post.

Hi icemac,

Before wasting energies in a suboptimal solution, will you test this new beta? For me, it's a priority to fix this bug.

¿Qué versión de CRT Emudriver le has instalado?

Hola Nekali,

Es muy raro. Ese servicio se instala siempre con el driver y el truco de detenerlo le ha funcionado a todo el mundo hasta hoy. ¿Estás 100% seguro de que no lo tienes instalado?

I've checked in the driver's .inf and the R5 340X is listed as supported. Just make sure to download the version for GCN cards.

If it's newer than 2016 it's probably not listed in the driver's .inf, and thus not supported (even if the driver could potentially support it, it will reject installing the files).

If you're not in a hurry, a new version of Emudriver supporting cards up to 2018 is in the oven.

¿Por qué la 4350? No sé muy bien como lo estarás probando, pero funcionar, funciona seguro.

Cuando conectes la tarjeta al Hantarex, asegúrate de no tener el monitor LCD conectado a la otra salida. Si no la bios probablemente te saque vídeo por el LCD.

Hola Nekali,

Esto pasa por un problema de los drivers y de ciertos programas que no controlan bien la resolución que ponen (has dicho Attract Mode, pero también pasa con Demul y otros emuladores más).

La solución es sencilla, afortunadamente:

1 - Detener y desactivar el servicio AMD External events utility
2 - Entrar en las propiedades de pantalla, configuración avanzada, pestaña "Monitor", y marcar la opción "Ocultar los modos que no se puedan mostrar en este monitor".

Todo esto, por supuesto, habiendo activado la emulación de EDID a 15 kHz.

I've never seen any crash on W7. Is DirectX properly installed?

Most people hated the deflicker filter so I removed it from the driver (wasn't easy). It's not something that can be enabled through a registry setting. You need to use the old driver binary where the setting is enabled.

So the problem with Arcade OSD was Windows 10 compatibility, after all. I need to modernize it at some point.

With regards to 2, the deflicker filter was removed by popular demand:

[24/11/2017][CRT Emudriver 2.0][CRT Tools 2.0][beta 11]

  - [Emudriver]  Disabled deflicker filter for interlaced modes. Now your interlaced modes will look perfectly sharp, with all their genuine flicker intact.

If you like the deflicker filter, you can use a version of the driver previous to beta 11, and still use the updated CRT Tools.

With regards to 1, I'm afraid that must be some Windows 10 incompatibility. If you press "d", it'll show a debug console. Its contents my help diagnosing the issue.

Have you enabled EDID emulation on the correct output?

Check this post, in case you haven't.

In the device drop-down menu on the top of that tab, select "\\.\DISPLAY1" instead of "\\.\DISPLAY2", and see if doing that makes the outputs appear in the outputs menu below.  If that works, enable EDID emulation on Analog 0 and remind selecting "\\.\DISPLAY2" back before installing the video modes.

What Catalyst software? How did it get in your computer?

I've updated the guide to reflect recent changes in both the CRT Tools and GroovyMAME regarding bandwith limitations.

Thanks for doing this, Recap.

Try generic_15 instead of arcade_15. It's the most conservative preset.

Create a blank vertical.ini file, then add this line: "monitor arcade_15".

Ya está la beta 13. No hace falta actualizar el driver, basta con bajar las CRT Tools.

Hi albert_c,

I don't know if you ever figured this out.

Without more information, the way I'd proceed is to use another monitor (a normal LCD or CRT PC monitor) where you have a workable picture, then use Arcade OSD to target the monitor you're going to use for emulation and force the proper resolution on it.

If the problem is you're already using a PC monitor and you get a garbled picture on it after installing the user modes, making it impossible to accomplish my suggestion above, then simply swap cables: maybe it's outputting 15 kHz to the wrong output.

I can't deduce what the scenario is from reading your post.

Hola Vlad,

quiere decir que puedo construir un cable vga a scart sacando la sincronía directamente del pin 13 del conector vga (hsync) al pin 20 del conector scart y al configurar los modos correctamente funcionaría sin más

En efecto, esa es la idea.

No es mucho más difícil que configurar el sistema para 15 kHz, pero hay más cosas que pueden fallar, en teoría, así que no es fácil conseguirlo a la primera. Por ejemplo, es conveniente haber creado ya los modos de vídeo antes de activar c-sync, porque este ajuste no funciona sobre la resolución por defecto del EDID emulado. Si no haces todo el proceso desde un monitor de apoyo te puedes encontrar con el problema de quedarte "a ciegas" a mitad.

Por cierto, espera a que saque la beta 13 que hay un fallo con c-sync y las tarjetas nuevas.

Hi MadDuke,

The VEGA graphics won't be supported by current CRT Emudriver (it's a couple of years old driver) but I'm planning to update the package as soon as I have some time.

I'm also looking forward to build one of this APU based machines. My plan is to experiment with UEFI Tool and check if it's possible to modify the embedded BIOS to output 15 kHz.
