25 Khz Medium Resolution CRT

Unread post by chrisgetrich »

Hello,

Can the mister output 25Khz over VGA to a Medium Resolution Arcade Monitor?

I'm certainly no expert, but the point of direct video is to output the original res. Mister is surely able to output 25, as it can with 15 and 31khz, but there is no system emulated (yet) with 25 khz.

One of the X86000 betas can output 25khz (24?) on select games.

You can also use the vga_scaler=1 to make your own 24khz resolution (or any other frequency). You'd probably end up having to center 15khz games with black borders though if you want to avoid ugly scaling.

Yes that makes sense about the cores outputting 15Khz.

I have 2 golden tee cabs that are both medium resolution (EGA) Wells k7500 and I was hoping to use them for Mister.

Anyone have a working 25kHz video_mode example? Have the monitor, would like to try it.

I am using the analog io board vga port, so could I use custom resolutions added to the mister ini file to support my 25khz monitor?
