Hi Folks.
I'm just finishing an upright mame cab. I want to use my 21" Sony TV as a
monitor. At the moment I have the ATI all in wonder pro, but when I output
Mame to the TV the picture is rubbish. I've tried both composite video and
S-VHS outputs but the picture is still very poor (you can hardly read the
text on front-ends e.t.c....). (DVD's look fine though ???).
I have just seen a video card Matrox Millennium G400 Dual Head (they do 16 and 32MB models) The dual head allows output to a standard monitor and has a separate
output to a Pal/NTSC TV. It uses different refresh rates for the TV and the monitor. It(supports 1024x768 on the TV). It is supposed to give flicker free
display to the monitor and the TV and is recommended for use under Win 95/98.
Does this mean I will not be able to use the Dos port of mame ????
Has anyone used one of these cards and are they any good ????
They are £120 so I don't want to buy a white elephant...
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks folks
Best Wishes zounds
