PC CRT's are not usually 15kHz capable at all they can look very nice, but they're not specifically covered by this guide. This covers ordinary old Standard Definition (SD) consumer CRT TVs, along with most PVMs and Arcade Monitors. Ideally you want to use a 15kHz-capable CRT for emulation if that's what the original hardware outputted to. You may also want to watch old SD TV shows or movies and anime. This guide doesn’t cover emulator configuration beyond a few tips for using GroovyMAME and Super Resolutions. Some emulators are better at this than others. You probably want to connect your PC to a CRT to get the visual image from an emulator to look like real hardware, as good as it can look. When you do finally get everything set up, consider a free program like Macrium Reflect to take a backup image of your drive.

Spend as little money as possible to get things working, and upgrade later. Get a picture up on the CRT first, then look at customising your emulators, etc. You will almost certainly encounter a few hiccups, have to figure out what's going wrong, reinstall everything and start again at least once. S-Video and component/YPbPr are also covered.Įxpecting everything to go smoothly the first time you try to connect your Windows PC to an SD CRT is unrealistic. This guide is about connecting a Windows PC to an SD CRT using an RGB or technically RGBS signal. M) The physical connection - Cables, and combining sync.

L) How do I install crt_emudriver? (How do I use VMM/ArcadeOSD?) J) But I already *have* a Radeon card or ArcadeVGA - can’t I use it?
I) Which AMD Radeon card or setup should I pick? (Including boot-protection using Atom-15) H) So what’s the best way to get 15kHz out of my PC? (AMD Radeon cards & crt_emudriver) G) What about using the TV-out (S-Video) port of some GPU’s? Or a cheap video converter from Ebay? (Transcoding & Component Video)

If you're going to open and play around with a CRT at any point, make sure you know how to discharge the tube correctly, and how to be safe around live equipment.Ĭ) Why is GM better for a CRT? (Vertical Stretching is baaaaad, k?)ĭ) What are Super Resolutions? (What about Horizontal stretching?)Į) I want to use GM and Super Resolutions! How do I connect my Windows PC to my old CRT? (And what are these 15kHz modes people keep talking about?)į) I read about a method to get 15kHz out of my PC but I can’t make it work! (Nvidia/Soft15Khz/ArcadeVGA/Powerstrip/CRU/Dongles/EDID-overrides/other)
But if you decide you need to open your TV, remember that any exposed CRT can be dangerous even when unplugged.

And remember that your PC normally boots in 480p or higher, so every time you turn the machine on you'll need to protect or unplug your CRT until Windows loads.Įverything you need to do can probably be done with a PC, software and cables, and possibly a converter. You’re not likely to do any harm, but it’s not impossible if you fail to read properly. EDIT: it's now so long i'm going to add info as individual posts, so read the thread as well!īefore you start modifying your PC, backup your windows install or make sure you have a copy. It's not short, however, so if you’re frustrated, use the index or ctrl-f. There’s some general information about CRT’s and modelines (resolutions) included, and if you don’t know where to start when it comes to connecting a PC to a CRT you may want to read it through. I learned almost all the information in here from other people, it's a mess of disconnected bits, and you'll have to bear with me while i spend months cleaning it up.
It's about games looking right, and believe it or not this also helps eliminate lag so they play right. You're trying to make the image on your CRT look as close to the original hardware as possible - no filters, no shaders, no effects, no artificial scanlines. This should help prevent you making egregious mistakes. It tells you what you’re doing, and a little bit about why you’d be doing it and not doing something else. This is meant to be a guide to those steps. It's not hard to connect a Windows PC to an SD consumer CRT TV, professional CRT like a PVM, or Arcade Monitor, but there's lots of small steps you need to get right. Bear in mind that this document was last updated for June 2020, and it's getting a bit patchy because the available tools are constantly updating. This is the best option for emulation currently available, especially MAME. This is a basic guide for connecting your Win 7 or Win 10 PC to your CRT using crt_emudriver 2.0 in order to run GroovyMAME or other emulators at 15kHz 240p.
