In Reply to: Getting fullscreen with TV-out with Geforce/other cards posted by Lilwolf on March 06, 2002 at 18:06:46:
TvTool works for some tv-out chips, but not all of them. There are several chips used depending on which mfr and which model board you have.
However, if you get a GeForce card w/ VIDEO-IN capability as well as VIDEO-OUT, it does perfect full screen s-vid out without having to use TvTool. This is because the combo VIVO chip (by Philips) does good tv-out right out of the box, unlike video-out only Chrontel and Conexant chips.
Hope this helps...

: Hello,
: You might want to try out a program called TvTool. It is only like $9.70 to register it. It can be found here;

: I never use the TV out functions built in to the geforce anymore. With TvTool I can run at 640x480 with a slight bit of overscan to my television screen. Basically, I get full screen in just about all games.
: Note: I use the stretch mame feature (with correct aspect ratio) so most games will fill the 640x480 screen.
: Hope this helps you out some...
