Connected my desk top to my CRT TV via svideo and the picture is horrible, its flickers and seems badly out of sync. Changing the resolution to its lowest poss setting doesnt help also.
Anyway I can improve it so I can play MAME on it?
I've noticed a few people on here who play mame through a standard CRT but how?
Displaying mame on a CRT TV problems.
To the best of my knowledge, most video drivers don't really have native TV modes; they just scale the picture down to display it on a TV, resulting in a crappy image. You might want to look into AdvanceMAME, which is apparently specialized for low-res displays.
Don't know what your graphics card is... I have an NVIDIA 8800GTS and my s-video out works perfectly (apart from a minor image warping issue, stemming from a cheap cable) with my CRT TV.
I set my displays to "clone" in my NVIDIA settings, and so the screen on the CRT TV scrolls around when the mouse hits the edges. My monitor is set to 1152x864, which is why that happens. I suppose you could have them set as two independent displays, but I find the TV largely useless for any activities you'd do on the computer (apart from... watching tv
).

Re: Displaying mame on a CRT TV problems.
Could be outputting the wrong signal type for your TV. Look for a PAL/NTSC setting or something similar.espibara wrote:its flickers and seems badly out of sync.?
