[RESOLVED] Soft 15k + quickres help

[Monstermug]

I've now got my doner PC up and running with GameEx and Mame, along with Daphene and megadrive emulators. I'm using a HD4350 and a Jpac.

Quick question, once I am happy with it (and have finished prepping the cab) it seems i need to do a final configure to get it cab ready(soft 15, quickres etc). do I need to configure GameEx to use the arcade VGA settings as isn't this what soft15Khz essentially makes the HD4350 act like?

Or, does changing the ini file as directed in Sharkfactors thread take care of this?

Are there any particular themes I should use in GameEx for arcade screens or will any be resized etc?

I am not an expert with regards to cabs, but I think a lot depends on what the max resolution is that your monitor can support and you intend to run. My guess is that you do not need to engage the Arcade VGA settings in conjunction with soft15khz, but I will defer to those that actually use or have used it to provide a more definitive answer.

As for the themes, I would review what is available for download based upon the settings you can/will be using. Usually, as long as the theme has the same aspect ratio as the monitor settings, scalling will take place. If you are attempting to use a high-def theme, it will not.
