I thought this was interesting, so I was reading the product description, it has a bunch of requirements, so you should have read them:

100% Made in Spain by Arcade Express
ArcadeVga to Scart cable (Euroconnector) to broadcast in RGB Pixel Perfect
USB with voltage amplifier 5V + 12V
Supports PC / Raspberry Pi / Mister FPGA
Auto power on and change channel to AV / RGB for CRT TV
Requires graphics card that outputs at 15khz
120cm long cable

You should take particular close attention to the thing that says:
>Requires graphics card that outputs at 15khz
I imagine most GPUs don't, since is the frequency that old TVs require and not exactly a modern requirement. I don't even have a way to know if mine does, so I'm not going to risk buying it, even though this does seems like a good product.

>> No.9033508

>>9033495
>>Requires graphics card that outputs at 15khz
This is easy to get around, you just have to edit graphics.ini in C:/Windows/ and change the line hz=60 to hz=15. I don't recommend doing it though since it makes your fps per second really choppy, but if you're playing on an old CTR TV it probably won't be able to input many frames anyway.

You're feeding it a resolution that's too high for the display to handle. You need to send it something with a 15KHz horizontal refresh rate, either 240p or 480i (note the i in 480i) for an NTSC display, or 288p or 576i for a PAL display. If your GPU can't go that low consider getting an older GPU with VGA output and putting that in your computer as a secondary GPU, newer versions of Windows will let you set one GPU as display-only and perform all the rendering on the other, more powerful GPU.

Anyway, the people doing the work on shaders is the way to go.

You need a DP to VGA adapter and a proper mode set up in CRU.

>>9033483
This is very wrong. Lucky you didn't blow up your CRT.

You need 240p/288p or 480i/576i at 60Hz. Also remove ALL the 31kHz modes. Make sure you pay attention to sync polarity and the timings, this isn't villy-nilly shit and you shouldn't just randomly try without research, you can destroy your hardware.

Nope, all you need is a DP to VGA adapter and a 15kHz modeline, plus any cable that works for you, like VGA to RGB SCART or BNC.

>what adapter should I get?
The DeLOCK 62967 gets recommended for VGA and it also works fine for 15kHz output. The adapter does most the work so graphics card is less relevant as long as your drivers let you output a mode like that, from my experience most newer Nvidia cards have no problem, have tested a few myself, currently running a 2070S.

>Also got any proof?
This was on a 15kHz CRT.
>>9036409
>>9036608

Do make sure you get right modelines and don't do what OP did.
To support most home consoles and arcades, 224p, 240p at 59Hz, 59.6Hz and 60Hz will cover most bases and 288p 50Hz. Use a super resolution for aspect ratio correction, RA will switch to the closest mode itself with CRT SwitchRes and even if it's a mode that you don't have, you'll just have slight black bars or over/underscan with still 1:1 output and perfect aspect ratio.

DP has just less limitations, plus the adapter does the work, so it's a safer bet to know it works.

>and how do I know which resolution works for me?
For starters, try deleting EVERYTHING in CRU for the adapter that goes to your CRT TV (NOT your main display) and copy this one exactly: >>9037094
Restart and try again. Make sure your TV is turned off while you reboot your PC or it send 31kHz modes to it.

>Sorry I don't know jack shit about refresh rates and resolutions
Just glad you didn't break anything.

>>9037150
Like take the checkbox away from >>9033483 1024x768 so Windows can't accidentally select a 31kHz+ mode.
Delete all the other modes you've rated too, from the Extension block also.

Try putting in the mode I mentioned about: >>9037094 under "Detailed resolutions" on the very top. Also click edit on the top/right and make sure under Range limits it's set to V rate 50 - 60 Hz and H rate to 15 - 15 kHz with max pixel clock 60 MHz, check the box that says Include if slot available and press OK.

If you want to add more modes, add them under the extension block, like for 224p and 288p, but first start with 240p and make sure that works, don't do too much at once, otherwise you won't know where the problem is if you have one, go step by step. Good luck.

Not that it matters since majority of latency, both processing and response, benefit for good panels comes from when they run 144Hz or higher, at 60Hz it's still pretty bad. Pixel response changes with refresh rate (that makes motion worse, specially at lower refresh rates, you'd preferably want BFI then).
You seem to be the one getting bothered by the fact that there's no reason not to use a CRT, even when a panel is "good enough" in most cases, even with high latency. Run-ahead alone usually shaved off two or three times more latency than the average panel.

Even at 60hz you only get 8-10ms of input lag, which is still neglible. I do agree that runahead matters a lot but RetroArch is a whole different ballpark, eg with that you can actually take advantage of the higher refresh rates. This was about some dweeb trying to "well akshually" me about KOF98.

...and? That has nothing to do with high refresh rate or refresh rate related panel latency. Even with G-Sync/FreeSync/VRR you're still running 60Hz content at 60Hz, it doesn't fix the panels problem with latency when running at lower refresh rates.

It can mitigate some input latency and frame pacing issues if you're too lazy to set up refresh rates for the consoles you play and configure frame delay and interval / swap chain in RetroArch, which will give identical results. Nothing to do with high refresh rate though.

G-sync lets you run 60fps content with the lower latency of higher refresh rates. That's one of its biggest appeals.

The latency benefit comes from not having to use V-Sync.
It's entirely driver side, it has nothing to do with the panels own refresh rate and the pixel response, where the latency and response rate problems of low refresh rates content on high refresh rate panel appear.

You're talking about something different, you're talking about benefits of VRR in general. I'm talking about a good 144Hz panel having bad response and latency when running at 60Hz, G-Sync/FreeSync/VRR or not.

I already mentioned the workaround for non-VRR displays about the text in your image in the previous post.
Meanwhile your benchmark is about G-Sync and frame limiting, you have to cap at 58 FPS for example on a 60Hz G-Sync panel to get the benefit of G-Sync, it would be identical with V-Sync disabled on a non-G-Sync display at 60Hz, but that's not even /vr/ and about modern games, RetroArch has it's own methods to use hybrid V-Sync to get the same latency benefits without tearing on non-VRR displays, as I mentioned in the previous post already. The only real benefit of G-Sync/FreeSync/VRR for /vr/ is that you don't have to create custom modelines and refresh rates to every consoles you want to play, that's it.

You're welcome, glad it works.

I made you a file with some common modelines you can try to have better support with different emulators and consoles. As long as CRT SwitchRes is turned on in RetroArch, it will automatically switch.
https://pastebin.com/c11uzw90

Make sure you have selected the adapter in CRU and click on Import and inport that file. You might have to do the Edit part in >>9037165 again, like:
>Also click edit on the top/right and make sure under Range limits it's set to V rate 50 - 60 Hz and H rate to 15 - 15 kHz with max pixel clock 60 MHz, check the box that says Include if slot available and press OK.
Don't forget to check that it's correct, since otherwise Windows might automatically make more modes which could be wrong and cause troubles.

>But the thing is I want to play native pc games too, is there a way to fix the aspect ratio through cru?
You can, I already made the file above, but add it yourself, first load the file from above and then also add this mode from pic related under "Extension block" in CRU, just copy it again 1:1 like it's on the picture and press OK. Then you can select it in Windows as 320x240.
You can just press Add... and add a new CEA-861 extension block to add the 320x240 resolution from pic related there, if the first block is already full of different resolutions / modes.

Super resolutions like 2560x240 are better for emulation but they stretch everything else, but 320x240 should work with any game/program that's capable of running as such a low resolution.

I don't think how good native PC games will look with that though, don't get your hopes up.

I also see the TV geometry is off to the left a little, if you can't adjust it in the settings of the TV, you might want to play around a little with the timings in CRU, like in pic related, the front and back porch.

Like instead of 22 and 29, make it 24 and 25, that would move the whole picture a little to the right (or if you're using the 2560x240 resolutions, edit those from 160 and 232 to 140 and 252 for example). Don't forget to press OK twice afterwards and restart PC to test, make sure TV is off while restarting.

Good luck.

Depends for what, CRT TVs are better for 240p and 480i, VGA CRTs are better for 480p and higher.
Using a VGA CRT for 240p is way too sharp and you have to use BFI or you get ghosting of motion thanks to having to run at 120Hz when the content is 60Hz.

Currently using Retroarch via my Wii Mini, yes its 240p this time, via composite but looks fine surprisingly enough considering how shitty my CRT is.

I wanted tp run the ImageViewer of RA but older versions dont seem to have it and most builds dont run at all on the wii mini.

It's not something you can capture on video, it's a problem with biological eyes and your brain. Not really noticeable with small sprites but move around, then track the trees and map with your eyes, you'll see them twice.
