Believe me or not, this could be bad VGA cable issue. The cable connected the original one attached to the Atlona converter. Anyway, on other cables (DELL, SAMSUNG etc.) it is the same. In turn, connecting the same cable to a monitor or the same TV via VGA resolution is correct. could also just be …

My Atlona firmware version is 6.41a I have firmware version 6.45A. Try to press "-" and "Menu" keys together to reset. And setup it as shown at this picture: Size: Follow intput Output: 1080p60 It's still bad. In my converter, pressing "-" and "menu" does not reset anything. It only changes the …

The menu looks the same with me. But as I wrote, changing these options does nothing. The image is still cut off. The "SIZE" setting has nothing to do with it, because it is only an adjustment of something like aspect ratio/image aspect ratio. "OUTPUT" is only a digital output image resolution that …

I bought the ATLONA AT-HD500. However, I am not entirely satisfied. Unfortunately, the converter does not recognize the resolution of my IBM PC 486 correctly. The image quality is very good, but the DOS resolution (720x400@70Hz) is recognized incorrectly as 640x350. Both in DOS (e.g. Norton …

BTW how 320x200 and 320x240 works, do you need specific support for them? Or they are automatically supported when 640x480? Or other resolutions are supported? The converter must support DOS resolution (720x400) from my old computer (IBM 486) because if it will not support, there will be no image. …

OK, this card annoyed me and I bought Sound Blaster 16 this time. The sound is a bit better on this card, moreover, in PSYCHO Pinball there is no more crackling about which I wrote earlier (on Sound Blaster AWE64 after some time "crackling" which almost completely drowned out the sound of the game). …

No one can guarantee that it will work. I have already tested 5 converters and none of them works (it doesn't detect 720x400 mode in DOS). I turned to the seller.

The PS2 version suits me best. I could buy and run under a PS2 emulator but I don't know if I won't need bios from the console for the emulator because then it will be illegal.

As for these links, I wonder what exactly version of Prince Of Persia on e.g. XBOX should I buy to have a version with Apple? I don't have an Apple computer. So here would be a problem with copying. It is probably better to buy on XBox and run under the XBox emulator.

Besides, how to rip these floppy disks to the emulator I have no idea. If it goes wrong, the money is lost and the floppy disks are only suitable as …

If you have jumper caps on the internal pin header like in this photo (blue and black one just behind the green line output jack), try taking them out. They don't belong there. You're shorting the line-out. You're right. Earlier I suggested the instructions according to which jumpers should be …
