What kind of cable do I need? VGA to SCART? Is there one that I can buy or must I make it?
Your help will be appreciated. I need to do a bit more work on it then I will ask for your help.
Hi!!
For output 15kjhz 240p, on a normal PC, you need this
1 - A VGA to Scart RGB cable + molex or usbYou can make one or buy one already made. Must be a arcadevga cable, not a regular VGA>RGB cable without molex or USB
Something like this, the best
Cable VGA RGB ARCADEVGA A SCART CON JACK SONIDO ( EUROCONECTOR ) JAMMA ARCADE |or this
VGA RGB ARCADEVGA TO SCART CABLE ADAPTER ( EUROCONECTOR ) for JAMMA system |The best website for this cables i know is this, is from spain, maybe they send to UK
http://retrocables.es/tienda/index.phpIs cheap, and they have USB cables, then you dont need a molex
I preffer molex cable, because molex give 12 and 5v, USB just 5v. With 5v the cable change to RGB mode, but not AV mode, then you need to change manually your TV to AV
If this is not a problem, USB is much simple
2 - A compatible graphic card with soft15khz or emudriver (ati)... (or buy a arcadevga.. expensive)
Soft-15khz - BYOAC WikiCRT_EmuDriver - Windows ATI Driver for GroovyMAMEIn nvidia, nothing less geforce 2, and no more than 7300. 8xxx and Up need a Dongle
In ATI, nothing less a Radeon, and no more 4xxx series, more need dongle
Matrox, sis, 3dfx... unknown for me, i did not test
Integrated intel, dont work, in this case, you need DTD, puff.. difficult
3 - Winmodelines to make/ajust the modelines you needWinModelines | Retrovicio4 - I totally recommend
quickres1 for change resolution
files.arianchen.de - /soft15khz5 - Important... normally everyone works in XPReally, I dont know anyone using 15khz in Windows 7 or 8... Maybe works...dont know
One you have everything installed, is just plain easy, nothing special
Just install emucrt drivers if you have a compatible ATI, or soft15khz if is a nvidia, matrox, etc or ATI, and you dont wanna change your current driver
Next reboot, you are in the 15khz world
emucrt is just a hacked ati driver, with some good modelines and addons
soft15khz, make your current driver compatible with 15khz
I think the best for you, just for test, is use a old computer, like P3 or P4, with a compatible graphic card ... for sure you have one in some corner...
