Native Resolutions with Component CRT TV
#336621 - 02/02/15 03:42 PM


Hello!

I'm pretty sure a lot of people in here have tried this before.

I want to send 15 khz with native resolutions to my Component YUV CRT TV using the following setup:

PC running MAME with Soft15khz -> VGA to SCART Cable (passive) -> SCART to Component active converter (those boxes we find at ebay) -> CRT TV with component in

Has anyone accomplished that? I want to make sure it will work before I spend $80 with the hardware.

Currently I'm using my video board TV-Out bit it converts the signal to NTSC which distorces the image. I want to upgrade to native resolutions!!

Please, please, please help!!

Marcelo.

soft15khz is ok but crt emudriver/groovymame is better giving more options and possibilities (but more difficult to get used to).
there's documentation about it here:

and regarding your pc/crt setup questions, there are many others doing a similar thing to you over at this forum:

In my experience TVs are typically limited in terms of which resolutions they will accept via component input. The converter box will probably run at a fixed resolution all the time, scaling whatever signal you send to it to one that is accepted by the TVs component input, 768x576 interlaced at 60Hz - if you're lucky - and the TV was built for export to Brazil (PAL60) lol.
If you can find out what resolution its sending to the TV you might be better off configuring MAME to run everything at that res in the first place and let your video card do the scaling, to avoid scaling artifacts introduced by the converter. Your video card should do a better job than the converter.
