In Reply to: question about 384x224 res on 15khz rgb monitors (Callus/cps1 games..ect) posted by kemical on July 26, 1999 at 04:32:13:
: i have an amiga 1080 monitor hooked up in a homebuilt arcade cabinet... and anyway, most games display fine on it, but games that use 384x224 res (cps-1/callus) show up, but with a weird thing at the bottom of the screen, sorta like a bend or a wave in the picture... ive tried adjusting stuff on the monitor, but no luck so far. is it just because this amiga monitor cant handle that resolution? if i had a normal arcade monitor, would it display right? i thought the actual arcade res that cps-1 used was 384x224... so shouldnt it display fine on a 15khz rgb arcade monitor?

I had similar problems with the Galaga-type modes on my arcade monitor setup. I would get a wave at the top of the screen. The problem was greatly reduced (nearly a complete fix) by changing my video card to one that was on the PC2JAMMA compatibility list (I went with an ATI Rage II+). It also gives me the VGA modes for the vector games, which looks great!
