Bought a Toshiba Libretto 50ct with heaps of accessories. Will post pics before and after cleaning when I get it 😀

Check out this thread over at Shmups (see Kamiboy's posts) for a success report: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=54262&start=30 Here's the TSR he used: DOS version: http://mirrors.arcadecontrols.com/VGATV/pwp.netcabo.pt/pscoelho/vgatv/dosDriver.html Windows version: http://mirrors. …

Hello, Recently I bought http://www.amazon.com/Tricks-Game-Programming-Gurus-Andre-Lamothe/dp/0672305070 book by Andre Lamothe. Bit of a bump here, but what did you think of the book? I've just ordered a copy myself (have previously read the Windows version and it is excellent). Good $deity. Do you …

OP - find a copy of this book and read it cover to cover: https://www.amazon.com/Tricks-Game-Programmin … e/dp/0672305070 You'll be well positioned to make your pacman clone then.

Has anyone used an ArcadeVGA video card with a BVM? My PVM doesn't accept VGA, or I would have tried it (I have an old AGP ArcadeVGA that was based on a Radeon 7000 or something). Your ArcadeVGA outputs a 15kHz signal that the PVM (and BVM) loves. Easiest solution: 1. Regular VGA monitor cable …

Ist it just simply this cable and the tsr-driver? No, definitely not this cable, it reads in the PDF you linked. Usually for PC VGA output to TV SCART input you need to take in TTL level separate syncs (H+V) from VGA and combine them to video level composite sync (about 0.3Vpp into 75ohms) and feed …

There are schematics out there to convert HSYNC+VSYNC to CSYNC so at least this is not a problem. I'm more concerned with the 70Hz refresh rate. You might want to select a monitor that can manage multiple refresh rates, like a European TV. As they can do both 50 and 60Hz, there is a chance it's a …

It's not a "true 200p" signal, unless your PVM/BVM/XBR supports 70Hz vertical retrace, which I suspect it doesn't. You're right, it doesn't. Also, VGATV only supports a 60Hz (or 50Hz) output which is disappointing. Good luck to you though. I've been able to DOS game on my 29" PVM using my Sega …

Apologies if this is the in wrong section. I posted this at another forum but figured it may be of interest to some of you here also. I've got a Sony BVM A series monitor that gives a bloody amazing picture especially when fed with a 15kHz signal. One thing that always bugged me about old VGA DOS …
