<div>Whammoed, a member of the BYOAC forum, introduced a new product in February of 2006 which he calls the "Litemite". They are described in [http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=50031.0 this forum thread].<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Lighting''' of an arcade cabinet is fairly limited. Lighting will be needed for the marquee area of your cabinet and is generally provided by either a fluorescent strip light, or several incandescent bulbs. <br />
<br />
The other area that generally will be lit are the coin returns if your cabinet features them.<br />
<br />
One fairly new lighting modification is to light the pushbuttons on the control panel. Knievel has also created a nice writeup on how to effectively light translucent [[Pushbuttons#Leafswitch Pushbuttons|leafswitch pushbuttons]] which can be found [http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,30565.msg257830.html here]. Work is also currently being done in this area with the [[LED-Wiz]]<br />

<div>__NOTOC__<br />
=='''Introduction'''==<br />
<br />
Illuminated transclucent buttons might not add to the authenticity of the arcade experience, but they're a great way of adding bling to your cabinet while also making it easier to use. Using a [[LED-Wiz]] with [[Mame_Modified_Versions#PowerMAME | PowerMAME]] or [http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=49045.msg%25msg_id%25 BloodyWiz], attract lighting sequences can be displayed while you're at the frontend or used as a 'screensaver' if a game is left alone for a period of time. A more practical use is to get PowerMAME to light only the buttons that each game uses.<br />
<br />
More recently the [[Mala]] frontend and its [[MalaPlugins#Mala_LEDWiz_Plugin_v2.0_by_Swindus.2C_Edge_.26_Loadman | LED-Wiz plugin]] have become a popular method of controlling button lighting from the frontend. Mala's creator Swindus also provides a native hardware solution for LED control as an alternative to the LED-Wiz.<br />
<br />
=='''FX Buttons'''==<br />
{|<br />
|<br />
FX Buttons (aka Translucent Happ Buttons) are the brainchild of Shawnzilla and have recently become a very popular option for people looking to light up their buttons using LEDs with GroovyGameGear's [[LED-Wiz]] and [[Mame_Modified_Versions#PowerMAME | PowerMAME]]. Basically, they are microswitch push-buttons cast from the same mold as regular Happ/iL buttons, but using colored translucent plastics instead of the regular opaque. Translucent leaf-switch buttons have been around for many years, but microswitch pushbuttons have always been more popular with the BYOAC crowd (mostly due to availability), so it was only a matter of time before these buttons showed up and took over the world.<br />
<br />
FX Buttons can be bought from Shawnzilla himself at [http://www.fxbuttons.com FXButtons.com] or from several re-sellers such as [http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=36770.msg325164#msg325164 PonyBoy], [http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=47066.msg452405#msg452405 DiveMaster] or [http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/ GremlinSolutions (UK)].<br />

Randy Turner of GroovyGameGear introduced these lighted microswitch buttons in January of 2006 in [http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=48488.0 this BYOAC thread]. These buttons are not transparent in order to better diffuse the light of the LEDs.<br />
<br />
Randy also introduced an integrated package of a RGB LED and a small circuit board, which eliminates the hassle of soldering together wires to the delicate legs of the LEDs. [http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=48816.0 Here is the BYOAC thread] introducing the RGB-Drive Pushbutton Lighting Module.<br />
<br />
=='''Lighting Considerations'''==<br />
[[Image:Led-angles.png|right|thumb|200px|LED Viewing Angles]]<br />
When buying LEDs, most people will generally go by the LEDs brightness (aka luminous intensity or MCD). Brightness is important, but when you're mounting your LEDs so they're pointing straight up through the button (as in the method described below) the most important factor in choosing an LED is it's luminous flux, which is determined by it's MCD and beam angle. An accute beam angle will cause an extreme (sometimes blinding) hot-spot in the center of the button.<br />
<br />
'''Luminous Flux''' is a good guide to how well and LED distributes light; it takes into account how bright the LED is (its luminous intensity) and how wide of an angle light is dispursed from the LED.<br />
<br />
Here's a [http://led.linear1.org/lumen.wiz simple calculator] to help you easily figure out what an LEDs luminous flux is:<br />
<br />
If you ''have'' to use an LED with a viewing angle less than 45°, it is recommended that you use the 'Kneivil' method of putting two LEDs at the sides of each button.<br />
<br />
=='''Mounting the LED into the Button'''==<br />

| '''1.''' Stick a small screwdriver into one of the actuator holes to push the spring down slightly (this might not be necessary for lighter springs).<br />

| [[Image:Fxbutton-plungersqueeze.jpg|150px]]<br />
| [[Image:Fxbutton-plungerout.jpg|200px]]<br />
|}<br />
| '''2.''' While the spring is pushed down, squeeze the actuators together and push them through the holes to remove the plunger.<br />

|<br />
{|<br />
| [[Image:Fxbutton-bitsize.jpg|150px]]<br />
| [[Image:Fxbutton-drilling.jpg|113px]]<br />
|}<br />
| '''3.''' For 5mm LEDs, use a 3/16" drill bit. If you're not using a clamp or vise to secure the button, be sure to keep a firm grasp of it while drilling.<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
{|<br />
| [[Image:Fxbutton-hole.jpg|200px]]<br />
| [[Image:Fxbutton-led.jpg|150px]]<br />
|}<br />
| '''4.''' Push the LED into the hole, it should be a pretty snug fit so you don't have to worry about it moving around.<br />
|-<br />
| [[Image:Fxbutton-wired.jpg|200px]]<br />
| '''5.''' Wire it up. If you're going to be snipping the LEDs legs a little, don't forget which leg is the anode (the longer leg, positive) and the cathode (the shorter leg, usually from the flat side of the LED, negative). <br />

<div>'''Lighting''' of an arcade cabinet is fairly limited. Lighting will be needed for the marquee area of your cabinet and is generally provided by either a fluorescent strip light, or several incandescent bulbs. <br />
<br />
The other area that generally will be lit are the coin returns if your cabinet features them.<br />
<br />
One fairly new lighting modification is to light the pushbuttons on the control panel. Knievel has also created a nice writeup on how to effectively light translucent [[Pushbuttons#Leafswitch Pushbuttons|leafswitch pushbuttons]] which can be found [http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,30565.msg257830.html here]. Work is also currently being done in this area with the [[LED-Wiz]]<br />

==Introduction==<br />
The Star Wars Cockpit (SWC) cabinet is the Holy Grail of many collectors. Recently several threads have sprung up on the forum in an attempt to document and produce plans of the cabinet. This wiki page aims to condense all the information from those threads into one central place.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Current Progress==<br />
Although Hoopstar has gotten a little sidetracked making babies, he's still hoping to get his project finished and share final dimensions with everyone.<br />
<br />
<br />
==What's Happened?==<br />
* A few threads popped up mentioning the SWC and all of a sudden everyone had to build one.<br />
* Rovingmind began piecing together CAD dawings.<br />
* Modesitt got hold of a SWC cabinet for a little while and posted detailed dimensions.<br />
* Hoopstar began an awesome scratch-built SWC using Modesitt's and his own measurements as reference.<br />

If you're a little short on inspiration, it can help to take a look at existing arcade cabinet plans. Several individuals in the community have taken the time to put together detailed drawings of their cabinets to 'share the wealth'. Jakobud has also put together a fine collection of classic cabinet plans, documenting detailed dimensions of all the necessary parts of your favorite classic arcade machine.<br />

<br />
'''Soft-15khz is a software project maintained by BYOAC German member SailorSat. Due to the heavy development currently going into this project, the information on this wiki page may very well be out of date. Please check her original project threads at [http://community.arcadeinfo.de/showthread.php?t=8170 ArcadeInfo.de] for current details and update this wiki page as necessary.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''''PLEASE NOTE:''' Soft-15KHz is a Windows application and will only function once Windows has loaded. Any resolutions that a computer outputs before Soft-15KHz kicks in may be harmful to standard arcade monitors.''<br />
<br style="clear:both;"/><br />
<br />
==About==<br />
The project “Soft-15KHz” is about reprogramming of videoadapters and/or their drivers to make them usable with normal Arcade monitors and/or TVs. It does this by doing small changes to the Windows registry to add typical arcade screen resolutions, as well as tweaking some existing ones, and locking out all others.<br />
<br />
It can be used as a simple free alternative to [[Custom_display_modes_%28Windows%29_-_Powerstrip|Powerstrip]] to allow Windows based computers to display on real arcade monitors without the need for specialized hardware. Unlike Powerstrip it has been developed with ''only'' arcade monitors and resolutions in mind and is steamlined and tweaked to help home arcade users.<br />
<br />
==Status==<br />
The project is to be considered ALPHA Status but should work as intended.<br />

|}<br />
===Removing Resolutions===<br />
Most arcade monitors will not support every resolution here, so you may wish to exclude any unsupported resolutions from your set up. To do this create a text file called '''custom15khz.txt''' (or custom25khz.txt or custom31khz.txt depending on your needs) in the same folder as Soft15khz.exe and, for example, to disable the 321x256 resolution add the line '''remove 321,256'''.<br />
<br />
===Adding Custom Resolutions===<br />
Similarly to removing resolutions, custom resolutions can be added. This is done by creating a text file called '''custom15khz.txt''' (or custom25khz.txt or custom31khz.txt depending on your needs) in the same folder as Soft15khz.exe and adding the modeline details for each custom resolution.<br />
<br />
For Example:<br />
'''modeline "1920x1080@60i" 82,817 1920 2104 2288 2456 1080 1107 1108 1125 interlace -hsync -vsync'''<br />
<br />
==Supported Drivers and Adapters==<br />
It should work with any NVidia (ForceWare 66.93 and up), ATI (Catalyst 2.5 and up), Matrox PowerDesk and 3Dfx Voodoo3/4/5 Driver, which themselfs support a large number of modern video adapters.<br />
Attention! The Windows default drivers are NOT compatible.<br />

Building your own MAME arcade machine is not as difficult as it may seem. However, it is rather easy to get lost and become confused given all the different components, decisions, and information available online. <br />
<br />
By reading this simple overview you will gain a good understanding of how all the parts and pieces come together to create your very own arcade cabinet. There are many different ways to get to the end product but all arcade machines are essentially made in the same fashion (especially for our purpose). <br />
<br />
== Basics ==<br />
<br />
<br />
These are the basic components that will come together to make your arcade machine:<br />
<br />
• Cabinet – Generally made out of ¾” plywood or medium density fiberboard (MDF) the cabinet can come in many different designs and types. All cabinets essentially do the following:<br />
o House the computer<br />
o Support the display (monitor/ TV) and the speakers <br />
o Allow the control panel to be mounted<br />
o Are often finished with side art, marquees (signs at the top) and/or coin doors<br />
<br />
• Control Panel – Like cabinets, control panels can come in all sorts of designs and can provide different levels of functionality based on the arcade controls you decide to include. Basically the control panel is a piece of wood or MDF that has been drilled and cut so that all the individual arcade controls can be mounted (joysticks, trackballs, buttons, etc.). <br />
<br />
• Interfaces & Wiring – Once all the arcade controls are securely mounted to the control panel board it is time to connect them together via wiring. All of the controls are wired to what is called an interface card. The interface card then connects to the computer either through the PS2 port or the USB port. Once connected to the computer your arcade controls act as input devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or game pad depending on how they are connected/ what the controls do.<br />
<br />
There are many different types of interface cards and it is important to make sure you know what you have and what parts you need, that is why after reading this you should check out Researching, Planning, and Deciding on your Arcade Machine.<br />
<br />
• Computer – Nothing too fancy here, most MAME arcade machines use an average PC. Your arcade can play regular computer games, if the game itself is configured to use the controls. MAME is what is known as an emulator which basically tricks the computer into thinking it is an arcade machine. Emulators then use ROMs, which are the individual games, to allow you to play arcade/console games on your PC. This site doesn’t offer any ROMs but a simple Google search for MAME ROMs or ROMs in general should provide you with more than enough information. You also should check out the home of the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Conclusion ==<br />
<br />
<br />
In summary the cabinet is essentially just that- a cabinet for all the parts. A good arcade cabinet will provide:<br />
-Good support for your display<br />
-Room for the speakers<br />
-A place for the control panel to be mounted<br />
-Room for the computer inside<br />
<br />
The control panel is simply a piece of wood or MDF that has all the arcade controls securely mounted to it. These controls are then wired together and to some sort of interface card. This interface card then connects the arcade controls to the PC as input devices like a mouse, keyboard, or game pad. Using your computer you then run a PC game or an emulator with a ROM of your choice loaded in order to play. As long as your arcade controls are configured properly within the game, you should be able to successfully play the game using your new arcade controls.<br />
<br />
'''The basic goal of a MAME arcade machine is to use arcade controls (joysticks, buttons, trackballs, etc.) to act as input devices (like a mouse, keyboard or game pad) while playing games (PC or ROMS) off your computer.'''<br />

<hr />
<div>Nice work but I feel that this page is a little obsolete, considering everything covered by the [[Basics|Basics Portal]] and the [[Basic Guide to Building a Cabinet]] page. Its title is also a little misleading; this page focuses on what goes into a MAME/emu cabinet and not arcade machines in general.<br />

A variety of '''Software''' and '''Emulators''' allow you to play a huge number of arcade, console and PC games on a computer. The software used as a foundation of a home arcade machine generally consists of an ''emulator(s)'' to run specific games (called ''roms'') on a computer and a ''front-end'' to provide a menu system to allow players to select from a list of games. Recently, the desire for multiple uses of an arcade cabinet and/or enhancing the game-playing experience have brought about the use of additional software, perhaps to play a PC game, allow use of the cabinet as a jukebox, or for lighting and configuration enhancements.<br />
<br />
Software has gone through great leaps and bounds since the inception of this hobby. As an example, in the late 90's, a common route many people were choosing was the [http://www.mameworld.net/pc2jamma/ PC2Jamma] method originally conceived and implemented by Brian Lewis. Typically, MAME was used as a game emulator, ArcadeOS as the front-end, and DOS as the operating system, since this allowed the use of real arcade monitors. Since then, hardware has been developed to make using an arcade monitor from other operating systems simple, and more complex front-ends and emulators have been developed to utilize PC hardware better. <br />

__notoc__<br />
In building your cabinet, you might forget that a PC is running at the heart of it and you don't want to be opening it up each time to turn it on. Also, you may want your cabinets' components (PC, monitor, speakers, marquee light etc.) to power on and off simultaneously with each other, to add to the illusion of a real arcade machine. Depending on what operating system you are using, simply unplugging the PC may cause problems if the operating system is not given time to properly power down. <br />
<br />
There are several options to consider...<br />
<br />
<br />
=='Smart' Power Strips==<br />
[[Image:Smart_Strip_LCG4.jpg|right|thumb|Bits Ltd. Smartrip power strip]]<br />
A popular approach is to use a Smartstrip or similar 'smart switching' power strip. Smartstrips can provide constant power to some components just like a normal power strip, but their most attractive feature is their automatic switching ability.<br />
<br />
One component (typically your PC) is plugged into the blue 'Control' outlet. Other cabinet components are plugged into the switched outlets; these components will remain unpowered until your PC (or whatever is plugged into the blue Control outlet) is switched on. This means that all components will power on when your PC is switched on, and more importantly once your PC completes its shutdown procedure the other components will automatically power off. Using your PC's power switch to turn on and off all components of your cabinet in this way is probably the most popular option for PCs running modern operating systems. <br />
<br />
Alternatives to the Bits Ltd. Smartstrip include the Mini Power Minder and the PowerMite DD (sold by BYOAC member Whammoed).<br />
===Build Your Own 'Smart' Power Strip===<br />
A simple relay can be added to most regular power strips to add 'smart' functionality to them, using a USB cable or hard-drive power cable from your PC to trigger the realy. When a voltage is detected from the PC, the relay supplies power to the outlets (see the external links below for more details). Considering the effort required it may be wiser to go for a retail option, but if you're on a tight budget and know what you're doing then a hack like this may be the way to go.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS's)==<br />
[[Image:UPS.jpg|right|thumb|Typical small UPS]]<br />
Generally regarded as the safest way of doing things, though not necessarily the cheapest, is to use a small Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in your cabinet. UPS's are intended to provide temporary battery backup power if there's a drop-out, as well as protect against power spikes.<br />
<br />
Many models include a serial or USB functionality that can safely initiate your computer's shutdown procedure once power has been cut to the cabinet; the computer will run on the UPS's battery power until it has shut down. When used in an arcade cabinet this means that you can just pull the plug on the whole cabinet and the computer will then safely shut down.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Standard Power Strips==<br />
Another approach is to use a regular power strip and, again, hacking an extended-wire intermittent switch to where the strip's switch is, and mounting that somewhere on the cabinet. Then, in the computer's bios settings, 'power on after interrupt' or something of that nature is selected. When power is restored, by turning the strip on, the computer senses this and turns on.<br />
<br />
This solution is recommended for DOS based PCs that don't require a shutdown procedure such as Windows based PCs. The computers hard drive can also be damaged if the computer is writing information to its hard drive when power is cut.<br />
<br />
<br />
==The Power Switch==<br />
Once you've determined the best power solution for your situation, the final step is to mount an on/off switch to an accessible position on your cabinet.<br />
<br />
If your cabinets' power is controlled by your computer (as in the Smartstrip solution), you can wire an extended switch from your computer case's power button and mount it somewhere on the surface of the cabinet. The computer could also positioned so that its power switch is accessible through a hole in the side of your cabinet.<br />

[[Category:Building]]</div>JoyMonkeyhttp://oldwiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?title=T-Molding&diff=8970T-Molding2007-05-23T17:58:19Z<p>JoyMonkey: removed Work In Progress tag</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Image:T-molding.gif|thumb|200px|right|Illustration from McMaster.com]]<br />
Since the dawn of time, t-molding has been the edge trim of choice for arcade cabinets. It's low cost and ease of installation made it perfect for companies mass-producing cabinets that wanted a way of making the rough cabinet edges more attractive and resistant to wear and tear.<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
[[Image:IMG_0024b.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Small router with slot-cutting bit]]<br />
To install t-molding, you must route a 1/16" wide groove into the exposed edges of your cabinet; this is usually done with a [[Power_Tools#Router|router]] of some kind and a 1/16" slot-cutting bit. Some cabinet builders have mentioned that a Dremel tool can be used for this, though doing so is not recommended.<br />
<br />
Here's a very useful video [http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=58283.0 posted by Spacies] showing how to go about slot-cutting for t-modling:<br />
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc2oWoxsrgE<br />
<br />
The t-moldings barbed rib anchors the trim in place and provides a very snug fit. Because of this glue or fasteners are not usually necessary when applying the t-molding to a freshly cut slot. On a newly routed cabinet edge, t-molding can sometimes be difficult to press into the slot by hand- a rubber mallet can be very useful in this circumstance.<br />
<br />
If you are bending it around a curve with a radius of 25mm (1") or less, it is recommended to notch (v cut) the barbs. For curves with a radius around 30-40mm (1.5"-2") I would just heat gun it carefully and knock it in while warm. Anything above that shuold go straight into the slot.<br />
Another good tip is to leave your t-molding somewhere warm before using it. In the sun, on top of your hot water boiler overnight, in your bed with you (just tell your wife she wouldn't understand). The pro's have 'hot boxes' which they put the molding in and it comes out warm and flexible.<br />
<br />
Once installed, the convex-shaped underside flattens against the surface, giving the molding a seamless look against the cabinet parts.<br />
<br />
==Replacing old T-molding on Existing Cabs==<br />
<br />
'''<br />
PLEASE NOTE: This instruction ONLY applies when ''REPLACING OLD T-MOLDING''. There is NO need to use glue to install T-molding on a NEW panel/cabinet that has a freshly routed slot !!!'''<br />
<br />
Sometimes you will need to replace old T-molding on an existing cab. Maybe you want to change color (of course NEVER change the original color on a original game cab !) or the old T-molding simply is dirty, damaged and old.<br />
<br />
Most commercial built cabs are made of particle board. This is not as sturdy as materials like MDF. Following this, the slot made by the builders is sometimes not so tight and new T-molding doesn't stay in the slot without any help. It is relatively easy to fix the T-molding using a glue-gun.<br />
<br />
Here is a step by step guide for replacing T-molding (depends on your cab of course !!!)<br />
<br />
'''Preparation:'''<br />
<br />
* Move your cab so that you can reach all parts that need T-molding easily. Remember that a lot of cabs also have T-molding running all the way on the backside !<br />
<br />
* Make sure you have plenty of glue sticks, you will need lots ! Be sure you can easily reach them to "load your gun" since you will have very little time to "reload".<br />

'''Removal'''<br />
# Remove old T-molding carefully by pulling<br />
# Check the edge of the panel to be flat, check if there's any particles inside of the slot and remove them. It's a good idea to use a vacuum cleaner to be sure that most loose particals are removed.<br />
'''Insallation'''<br />
# Put your new T-mold in the slot (DO NOT GLUE JUST YET !!!), following the corners. Be sure the mold is ALL the way in the slot (especialy at inner corners !) Then find out where your outer corners are and make the V shape cuts. I used a cutting pliers and tore the center stuff of the mold with another pliers. Be carefull it is very easy to go through the upper layer of the molding !!<br />
# Cut the end of the T-molding<br />
# Heat up your glue gun<br />
# Remove the new T-molding from the slot<br />
# Fill the slot with glue and right after that put in the T-mold, work in lenghts of something like 20 cm. It is VERY advisable to have someone there to help you. You go on with the glueing and putting in the T-mold, the other persons keeps pressing on the T-mold where you just went. This is especialy important in the inner corners ! VERY IMPORTANT: KEEP GOING ! Be ready to easily reach every part of the cab that needs T-mold.<br />
<br />
Luckely, glue-gun glue is quite forgiving, you can relatively easy remove it from flat surfaces, in half-warm and even cool state.<br />
You use quite a bit of glue in this way, since it will also fill the slot. Put a little bit of glue on the inner and outer corners on the side of the panel (above the slot). This will make sure you get perfect corners that stay on.<br />

In building your cabinet, you might forget that a PC is running at the heart of it and you don't want to be opening it up each time to turn it on. Also, you may want your cabinets' components (PC, monitor, speakers, marquee light etc.) to power on and off simultaneously with each other, to add to the illusion of a real arcade machine. Depending on what operating system you are using, simply unplugging the PC may cause problems if the operating system is not given time to properly power down. <br />
<br />
There are several options to consider...<br />
<br />
=='Smart' Power Strips==<br />
[[Image:Smart_Strip_LCG4.jpg|right|thumb|Bits Ltd. Smartrip power strip]]<br />
A popular approach is to use a Smartstrip or similar 'smart switching' power strip. Smartstrips can provide constant power to some components just like a normal power strip, but their most attractive feature is their automatic switching ability.<br />
<br />
One component (typically your PC) is plugged into the blue 'Control' outlet. Other cabinet components are plugged into the switched outlets; these components will remain unpowered until your PC (or whatever is plugged into the blue Control outlet) is switched on. This means that all components will power on when your PC is switched on, and more importantly once your PC completes its shutdown procedure the other components will automatically power off. Using your PC's power switch to turn on and off all components of your cabinet in this way is probably the most popular option for PCs running modern operating systems. <br />
<br />
Alternatives to the Bits Ltd. Smartstrip include the Mini Power Minder and the PowerMite DD (sold by BYOAC member Whammoed).<br />
<br />
A simple relay and USB cable can be added to most regular power strips to add 'smart' functionality to them. When a voltage is detected in the USB cable, the relay supplies power to the outlets (see [http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=20939.0 CrashWGs forum thread] for more details). However considering the effort required, it may be wiser to go for a retail option.<br />
<br />
==Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS's)==<br />
[[Image:UPS.jpg|right|thumb|Typical small UPS]]<br />
Generally regarded as the safest way of doing things, though not necessarily the cheapest, is to use a small Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in your cabinet. Typically UPS's are used as a simple way of providing temporary battery backup power if your computer should unexpectedly loose power, they also protect against power spikes.<br />
<br />
Many UPS's include a USB functionality that can safely initiate your computers shutdown procedure once power has been cut to the cabinet; the computer will run on the UPS's battery power until it has shut down. When used in an arcade cabinet this means that you can just pull the plug on the whole cabinet and the computer will then safely shut down.<br />
<br />
==Standard Power Strips==<br />
Another approach is to use a regular power strip and, again, hacking an extended-wire intermittent switch to where the strip's switch is, and mounting that somewhere on the cabinet. Then, in the computer's bios settings, 'power on after interrupt' or something of that nature is selected. When power is restored, by turning the strip on, the computer senses this and turns on.<br />
<br />
This solution is recommended for DOS based PCs that don't require a shutdown procedure such as Windows based PCs. The computers hard drive can also be damaged ff the computer is writing information to its hard drive when power is cut.<br />
<br />
==The Power Switch==<br />
Once you've determined the best power solution for your situation, the final step is to mount an on/off switch to an accessible position on your cabinet.<br />
<br />
If your cabinets' power is controlled by your computer (as in the Smartstrip solution), you can wire an extended switch from your computer case's power button and mount it somewhere on the surface of the cabinet. The computer could also positioned so that its power switch is accessible through a hole in the side of your cabinet.</div>JoyMonkeyhttp://oldwiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?title=Power_Options&diff=8968Power Options2007-05-23T16:07:37Z<p>JoyMonkey: /* Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS's) */ added photo</p>

==B==<br />
*'''Bemani''', synonymous with the rythm and dance game genre. Originally from ''Be''at''Mani''a - the first rythm game in the genre.<br />
*'''[[Bezel]]''', A shroud surrounding the monitor of an arcade cabinet so as to frame the monitor and hide the inner workings of the arcade cabinet. <br />
*'''Bucking magnet''', A magnet that is glued to the back of a speaker magnet to counteract the magnetic field the speaker produces. Normally used to allow placement of speakers close to monitors without the speaker's magnetic field distorting the monitor's picture.<br />
*'''BYOAC''' short for "Build Your Own Arcade Controls". Also the name of the [http://arcadecontrols.com/ website] and [http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/ community] that spawned this Wiki.<br />
*'''BYOACer''' a member of the Build Your Own Arcade Controls community.<br />
<br />
==C==<br />
* '''Cab''' Short for "Arcade ''cab''inet".<br />
* '''[[Cabinet friendly software|Cabfriendly software]]''' Software that is easily operated on an arcade cabinet.<br />
* '''Cap-kit''', [[Capacitor Kit]] - The capacitors (electronic components) on monitor circuit boards tend to go bad after a while, causing color and picture distortion. Replacing the capacitors (and other related electronic components) will often fix such problems. The collection of capacitors and other components that are needed to repair the monitor are referred to as a "cap-kit."<br />
* '''CMYK''' CMYK is a color description scheme used in printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and blacK. Mixing various amounts of these four colors produces the other colors needed in the printing process.<br />
* '''Cockpit cabinet''' An arcade cabinet that is enclosed. The player sits inside the cabinet to play the game.<br />
* '''Cocktail cabinet''' An arcade machine that is shaped like a small table. Players sit at the table and play the game looking down on the monitor. The monitor is oriented so that it is facing upwards.<br />
* '''[[Coin Doors|Coin door]]''' A metal door on an arcade cabinet where players insert money or tokens to be able to play the game.<br />
* '''COM''' Common - a connector on a microswitch that is always used, regardless of whether the other connector used is NC or NO.<br />
* '''Control panel''' The panel of wood on an arcade cabinet or desktop arcade controller that is the home for the pushbuttons, joysticks, and other arcade controls used by the arcade machine.<br />
* '''Console''' can have different meanings dependant of the context it is used in:<br />
:#short for "Game console" (see glossary [[#G|G: Game console]])<br />
:#The keyboard/screen combination from which a (remote) computer is operated<br />
:#The commandline interface to directly issue basic commands to the computer's operating system (example: The DOS version of MAME is lauched from a DOS-console).<br />
* '''CP''' Short for "[[Control panel]]"<br />
* '''CPO''' Acronym for "Control Panel Overlay." A CPO is a piece of vinyl or similar material originally used to cover the metal or wood control panel, display control instructions and branded game art.<br />
* '''CRT''' Cathode Ray Tube - a type of monitor with a glass tube. You are probably most familiar with a CRT monitor in the form of older televisions and computer monitors (non-LCD based).<br />
<br />
==D==<br />
*'''DDR''' Dance Dance Revolution. A series of dance arcade games made by Konami. The series is named ''Dancing Stage'' in Europe, however many Europeans refer to the games by the DDR name.<br />
*'''Degaussing''' The process of demagnetizing (removing the magnetic field) of a monitor that can build up over time or occur from external sources, to remove the color or picture distortion caused by the field.<br />
*'''Desktop arcade controller''' A box that holds arcade controls use to play video games. The box is usually somewhere around 3 feet in width and 1.5 feet deep, and is designed to sit on a desktop when played. Unlike a full arcade cabinet, a desktop arcade controller only holds the arcade controls and internal electronics. No monitors, speakers, or computer are part of a desktop arcade controller. Some people have designed a complete "arcade-in-a-box" that goes beyond this definition, including the computer inside the controller, but this is rare.<br />
*'''Digital''' Digital data is data that is either on or off, one or zero, high or low. A pushbutton is a good example of data that is represented digitally. The button is either pressed, or not pressed. The amount that the pushbutton is pressed is not measured. A pushbutton that is pressed half-way down is still considered to be "off" until it makes final contact with the microswitch beneath it, at which point it is considered "on." Compare to ''Analog''.<br />
*'''Diode''' A diode is a device that in simplest terms only allows electricity to flow in one direction. A diode has two ends: a cathode (-) and an anode (+). Current can only flow from the anode to the cathode, but not the other direction. [[Electronic_Components#Diodes| Diodes]] are sometimes used in [[keyboard_Hacks|keyboard hacks]].<br />
*'''DIY''' Do It Yourself. <br />
*'''DPI''' Dots Per Inch. Printing term used to describe the resolution of an image. For digital files, it may be better to think of DPI as pixels per inch.<br />
<br />
==E==<br />
*'''Emulator''' A piece of software designed to make one computer act as another computer or arcade hardware. See also [[Emulators]].<br />
*'''Encoder''' An electronic component, usually a microchip, that takes analog or digital signals from a device and encodes it in a format that the computer is able to understand. See [[encoders]].<br />
==F==<br />
*'''Front End''' Software GUI used to launch game roms in one or more emulators<br />
==G==<br />
*'''Game console''' A video game system designed for home play with a TV (or occasionally a computer monitor). Systems such as the Nintendo 64 and Sony Playstation are game consoles.<br />
*'''Game console controller''' The unit that plugs into a game console to control the game play. These are usually handheld pads with an analog mini-joystick that controls direction, a digital flat control wheel that serves the same function, and pushbuttons.<br />
*'''GUI''' Acronym for "Graphic User Interface". A front end is an example of a GUI for MAME. The basic MAME is without a GUI, MAME32 is a version with a GUI.<br />
==H==<br />
*'''Hack''' As used here, modifying a device to use it in a way that is different than originally intended. For instance, using the electronics of a mouse to connect an arcade trackball.<br />
*'''High resolution''' A monitor with a refresh rate of 31.5kHz. <br />
==I==<br />
*'''Isolation transformer''' A transformer that sits between the building electrical outlet and the monitor, isolating the monitor from the building electrical system.<br />
==J==<br />
*'''JAMMA''' - '''Japanese Amusement Machine Manufacturers' Association'''<br />
A trade association based in Japan; it also the namesake of a trade show hosted in Japan; additionally, JAMMA is a wiring standard for arcade machines that allows for interchangability of video game PCBs without having to re-wire the arcade machine.<br />
*'''Joystick''' Any of a large variety of devices used to control arcade machines. The joystick has a shaft that extends above the control panel that is manipulated by the player, activating switches (microswitch or leaf switch) at the base of the joystick beneath the control panel, thereby controlling game play.<br />
==K==<br />
*'''Keyboard blocking''' A technique used by keyboard manufacturers to prevent ''ghosting'' problems. After a certain number of keys are pressed at the same time, further keypresses are blocked.<br />
*'''Keyboard Encoder''' - A device used to interpret signals from arcade buttons and joysticks into standard keystroke signals. See [[encoders]].<br />
*'''Keyboard ghosting''' A problem that occurs in older keyboards that do not feature keyboard blocking in which phantom keystrokes are generated when too many keys are pressed at the same time. For instance, pressing "A" and "C" and "E" at the same time may generate a fourth phantom "T" keystroke.<br />
*'''Keyboard matrix''' The grid in which a keyboard encoder maps keystrokes. The grid corresponds to the physical electronic traces on the keyboard circuit. A keyboard encoder that has a total of 20 keyboard traces can be arranged in a 10 x 10 matrix, allowing 100 total keystrokes. It can also be arranged in a 12 x 8 matrix, allowing 96 total keystrokes, or any other combination. The manner and method in which a keyboard matrix is designed varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.<br />
*'''Kill switch''' A switch that is designed to turn off a circuit when the button is released. Usually used as a precaution on the back door of arcade machines. When the back door is opened, the button is released, killing the power inside the arcade cabinet.<br />
*'''KLOV''' The [http://www.klov.com Killer List of Video Games website].<br />
<br />
==L==<br />

*'''[[pushbuttons#Leafswitch Pushbuttons|Leaf Switch]]''' - A switch type commonly used on older buttons and joysticks. It consisted of two metal contacts, that when united, completed a circuit.<br />
*'''Leafs''' - Short form for ''leaf switch''<br />
*'''Lexan''' An acrylic plastic used to protect control panels and occasionally as a protective barrier in front of a monitor, available in both clear and smoked varieties. See ''Plexiglas''.<br />
*'''[[Light gun]]''' An amusement gun with optical electronics. The spot that is aimed at is determined optically by the gun electronics. Contrast with ''positional guns''.<br />
*'''Low resolution''' A monitor with a refresh rate of 15.75 kHz. Usually referred to as standard resolution.<br />

*'''Mame32''' Windows version of MAME with built in GUI<br />
*'''Marquee''' Usually located at the top of an arcade machine, this is normally a back-lit colorful sign displaying the name of the video game. Marquees are designed to draw attention to the game.<br />
*'''Medium resolution''' A monitor with a refresh rate of 25 kHz.<br />
*'''[[pushbuttons#Microswitch Pushbuttons|Microswitch]]''' A switch with three contacts, two of which are used at any one time. When the small button at the top of the switch is pressed (or released), a circuit is completed between the two contacts in use, activating the button. The three contacts are NC, NO, and COM. NO and COM are primarily used in arcade machine applications.<br />
*'''Multimeter''' A multimeter is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several functions in one unit. The most basic instruments include an ammeter, voltmeter, and ohmmeter. See the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter Multimeter Wikipedia entry]<br />
<br />
==N==<br />
*'''NC''' Normally Closed - a connector on a microswitch used when a button is considered idle when it is pressed, and activated when it is not pressed. A kill-switch that disables an arcade machine when the back door is opened, releasing the pressure on the switch, is an example of a situation in which you would want to use the NC connector instead of the NO connector.<br />
*'''NO''' Normally Open - a connector on a microswitch used when a button is considered idle when it is not pressed.<br />
*'''NOS''' Acronym for "New Old-Stock." This term is most commonly used to describe original, unused vintage items for sale or auction. Many times unused stock may be found stored away untouched for years. NOS items are not reproductions, they were manufactured by the original manufacturer and should be close to perfect condition.<br />
*'''NTSC''' A television standard mainly used in the US and Japan. It uses 525 lines and 60-fields (interlaced) per second giving 30fps. NTSC stands for National Television System Committee who set the TV standards in the US. It has a some colour issues which were corrected when PAL was developed, and TV engineers will refer to NTSC as "Never Twice the Same Colour".<br />
<br />
==O==<br />
*'''OEM''' Acronym for "Original Equipment Manufacturer." An OEM was the originator of a specific part. Parts from an OEM should be more accurate than reproduction parts made for the aftermarket. Reproduction parts are usually not considered 100% fully interchangeable with parts from the OEM.<br />
*'''Optical encoder''' The encoder that is the heart of a mouse or other optical device. It takes the data from the detector and sends the information to the computer.<br />
==P==<br />
*'''PAL''' A television standard widely used in Europe and Australia. PAL is based on the US NTSC standard, but unlike NTSC (used in the US and Japan) it uses 625 lines and 50-fields (interlaced) per second giving 25fps. Also, PAL stands for Phase Alternate Line, because the phase of the color carrier is alternated from line to line. This alternation helps cancel out phase errors, and gives a superior colour reproduction compared to NTSC ('hue' control is not needed on a PAL TV set) even though both are composite colour signals.<br />
*'''PCB''' Printed Circuit Board - the circuit boards at the heart of an arcade machine.<br />
*'''Plexiglas''' An acrylic plastic used to protect control panels and occasionally as a protective barrier in front of a monitor, available in both clear and smoked varieties. Plexiglas is a brand name that is often used as a generic term. Lexan is another brand of acrylic plastic that is often used.<br />
*'''Positional gun''' An amusement gun with analog electronics, whose aim is determined by the position of two potentiometers (pots) at the base of the gun. As the gun is aimed, the potentiometers are moved, translating into horizontal and vertical positioning of the gun's aim.<br />
*'''POT''' Short for potentiometer, a variable resistor whose resistance changes as a shaft is turned. A volume knob is an example of a potentiometer.<br />
*'''Port''' A port can be either a connection on a computer circuit board or a remake of a game/application on another system than the first release. For example the arcade game Pac-Man was ported from the Arcade to various home computer systems.<br />
<br />
==Q==<br />
*'''Quick disconnects''' Small connectors used as method to connect wires to microswitches without the need to solder the wire directly to the microswitch. Usually abbreviated as QDs or MQDs (male quick disconnects) and FQDs (female quick disconnects).<br />
<br />
==R==<br />
*'''Raster graphics''' A raster-based graphic, such as a JPEG file, is composed of tiny dots, or pixels. Contrast it with ''vector graphics''.<br />
*'''Raster monitor''' A monitor that draws images on screen as a series of dots. Contrast it with ''vector monitor''.<br />
*'''Refresh rate''' The rate at which a monitor re-draws the images on the screen, broken into horizontal refresh rates and vertical refresh rates. Phosphors on the screen begin to lose their charge quickly and have to be refreshed to keep the image on the screen.<br />
*'''Resolution''' The size of the screen display on a monitor. Most PC users will be familiar with 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 resolutions, although many other resolutions are possible. Arcade machine typically used much lower resolutions.<br />
*'''Restrictor plate''' A metal plate that fits over a joystick, restricting its movement so that an eight-way joystick functions like a four-way joystick.<br />
*'''RGB''' RGB is a color description scheme used for monitors and sometimes in printing, and stands for Red, Green, and Blue. Mixing various amounts of these three colors produces the other colors needed. Contrast with ''CMYK''.<br />
*'''RGVAC''' Acronym for the usenet newsgroup [http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.video.arcade.collecting?hl=en rec.games.video.arcade.collecting]. This is a newsgroup for arcade collectors and those interested in restoring arcade cabinets to their original form. Regulars to the newsgroup aren't too fond of people that convert rarer arcade cabinets into ermulator cabinets.<br />
*'''ROM''' Acronym for "Read Only Memory". ROMs contain program code, graphics and sound data that is used by the arcade hardware to run the games. Think of it as a CD on a chip. Many emulators require ROM image files to work.<br />
<br />
==S==<br />
*'''SCART''' A connector found primarily on European televisions providing stereo sound and video inputs.<br />
*'''Spinner''' An optical device used to control on-screen movement along a single axis, usually the X axis. As the spinner is turned the on-screen cursor (or arcade game image) is moved correspondingly.<br />
*'''Standard resolution''' A monitor with a refresh rate of 15.75 kHz. <br />
==T==<br />
*'''[[T-Molding]]''' A plastic strip placed around the edges of an arcade cabinet for protective and decorative purposes. The strip is shaped like a T, with the long part of the T fitting in a groove in the edges of the cabinet.<br />
*'''Trackball''' An optical device used to control on-screen movement along the X and Y axes. As the ball is rolled the on-screen cursor (or arcade game image) is moved correspondingly.<br />

*'''2-way joystick''' A joystick that only moves in 2 directions, left-right or up-down. Very few games used a 2-way joystick. [http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=S&game_id=9662 Space Invaders (KLOV link)] is one such game.<br />
*'''4-way joystick''' A joystick that moves in 4 directions, normally up-down-left-right. Some games, such as [http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=Q&game_id=9182 Qbert (KLOV entry)], used a 4-way joystick rotated 45 degrees such that they movement was to the diagonals instead of straight up/down/left/right. Playing a 4-way based game with an 8-way joystick can be extremely frustrating. <br />
*'''8-way joystick''' A joystick that moves in the 4 cardinal directions (up-down-left-right) and the diagonals as well. Playing an 8-way based game with a 4-way joystick can be extremely frustrating.<br />

<br style="clear:both;"/><br />
<br />
==About==<br />
The project “Soft-15KHz” is about reprogramming of videoadapters and/or their drivers to make them usable with normal Arcade monitors and/or TVs. It does this by doing small changes to the Windows registry to add typical arcade screen resolutions, as well as tweaking some existing ones, and locking out all others.<br />
<br />
It can be used as a simple free alternative to [[Custom_display_modes_%28Windows%29_-_Powerstrip|Powerstrip]] to allow Windows based computers to display on real arcade monitors without the need for specialized hardware. Unlike Powerstrip it has been developed with ''only'' arcade monitors and resolutions in mind and is steamlined and tweaked to help home arcade users.<br />

|}<br />
===Removing Resolutions===<br />
Most arcade monitors will not support every resolution here, so you may wish to exclude any unsupported resolutions from your set up. To do this create a text file called '''custom15khz.txt''' (or custom25khz.txt or custom31khz.txt depending on your needs) in the same folder as Soft15khz.exe and, for example, to disable the 321x256 resolution add the line '''remove 321,256'''.<br />
<br />
===Adding Custom Resolutions===<br />
Similarly to removing resolutions, custom resolutions can be added. This is done by creating a text file called '''custom15khz.txt''' (or custom25khz.txt or custom31khz.txt depending on your needs) in the same folder as Soft15khz.exe and adding the modeline details for each custom resolution.<br />
<br />
For Example:<br />
'''modeline "1920x1080@60i" 82,817 1920 2104 2288 2456 1080 1107 1108 1125 interlace -hsync -vsync'''<br />
<br />
==Supported Drivers and Adapters==<br />
It should work with any NVidia (ForceWare 66.93 and up), ATI (Catalyst 2.5 and up), Matrox PowerDesk and 3Dfx Voodoo3/4/5 Driver, which themselfs support a large number of modern video adapters.<br />
Attention! The Windows default drivers are NOT compatible.<br />

Oscar Controls is currently closed, though the Oscar website still holds a lot of valuable information for project builders.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, alternative spinnner products are now available from [http://www.slikstik.com/spinfeat.htm SlikStik] and [http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86&products_id=268 Groovy Game Gear]. A new product (as of June 2006) from a new vendor called [http://www.apachecontrols.com Apache Controls] looks promising. The new spinner has up/down capability (for Discs of Tron) and is called the Blackhawk.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Arcade monitors''' give you the true look of arcade graphics that you cannot get using a TV or a PC monitor. Original arcade games ran at lower resolutions than both pc and TVs can run, which accounts for the difference in authenticity when comparing arcade monitors to other displays. Arcade monitors are the obvious choice for those looking for the absolute closest to "the real thing" in a MAME machine.<br />
<br />
There are two broad types of arcade monitors that are used fairly often in MAME machines: "Original" 15khz monitors or Multisync monitors that will display 15khz signals, medium resolution signals, as well as PC resolutions. Betson and Wells-Gardner D9200 arcade monitors work great with a PC as you are able to use them at standard PC resolutions (usually 640x480 or 800x600), and they connect using standard VGA connections. These monitors will then change resolutions during gameplay to display the correct game resolutions. You can also use standard Arcade monitors but you will have to wire them up in order to be able to connect them to your PC using a hacked VGA cable.<br />
<br />
For best performance, you will still need a [[ArcadeVGA]] videocard or software such as [[Soft-15khz]] or [[Custom display modes (Windows) - Powerstrip|Powerstrip]] in order to make your Arcade monitor run at the correct resolutions.<br />

===Removing Resolutions===<br />
Most arcade monitors will not support every resolution here, so you may wish to exclude any unsupported resolutions from your set up. To do this create a text file called '''custom15khz.txt''' (or custom25khz.txt or custom31khz.txt depending on your needs) in the same folder as Soft15khz.exe and, for example, to disable the 321x256 resolution add the line '''remove 321,256'''.<br />
<br />
===Adding Custom Resolutions===<br />
Similarly to removing resolutions, custom resolutions can be added. This is done by creating a text file called '''custom15khz.txt''' (or custom25khz.txt or custom31khz.txt depending on your needs) in the same folder as Soft15khz.exe and adding the modeline details for each custom resolution.<br />
<br />
For Example:<br />
'''modeline "1920x1080@60i" 82,817 1920 2104 2288 2456 1080 1107 1108 1125 interlace -hsync -vsync'''<br />
<br />
==Supported Drivers and Adapters==<br />
It should work with any NVidia (ForceWare 66.93 and up), ATI (Catalyst 2.5 and up), Matrox PowerDesk and 3Dfx Voodoo3/4/5 Driver, which themselfs support a large number of modern video adapters.<br />
Attention! The Windows default drivers are NOT compatible.<br />

==About==<br />
The project “Soft-15KHz” is about reprogramming of videoadapters and/or their drivers to make them usable with normal Arcade monitors and/or TVs. It does this by doing small changes to the Windows registry to add typical arcade screen resolutions, as well as tweaking some existing ones, and locking out all others.<br />
<br />
It can be used as a simple free alternative to [[Custom_display_modes_%28Windows%29_-_Powerstrip|Powerstrip]] to allow Windows based computers to display on real arcade monitors without the need for specialized hardware. Unlike Powerstrip it has been developed with ''only'' arcade monitors and resolutions in mind and is steamlined and tweaked to help home arcade users.<br />

<div>[[Image:ArcadeVGA.jpg|thumb|ArcadeVGA videocard|240px|right]]<br />
'''ArcadeVGA''' is a video card, that was made specifically for Windows, that allows people to use an old [[arcade monitor]], typically using a 15Khz signal.<br />
<br />
Most modern PC video cards output a 31Khz or higher signal, which is incompatible and in some cases harmful to real arcade monitors. As video cards evolved, 15Khz signals were abandoned by card manufacturers as they were no longer used by modern SVGA monitors. This can make it difficult to get standard video cards to display correctly on an arcade monitor.<br />
<br />
ArcadeVGA supports many arcade resolutions used by MAME<sup>tm</sup> and other emulators, so you don't need any software scaling in most games. This results in games being displayed on your arcade monitor exactly as they were originally intended.<br />
<br />
Some resolutions used by certain games may not work on your arcade monitor, so these may need to be disabled with a resolution tool.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''ArcadeVGA 2'''<br />
<br />
There is now an updated version of the ArcadeVGA, the ArcadeVGA 2. Available in both AGP (based off the ATI Radeon 9250 chipset) and PCIe (based off the ATI Radeon X550, with 512mb of video memory) the ArcadeVGA 2 is capable of, along with the original 15khz resolutions, 25khz resolutions as well as PC resolutions up to and including XGA (1024x768). Additionally, it has dual outputs (one VGA, the other DVI - as well as S-Video, though this output isn't recommended by Ultimarc) which, along with the drivers on the accompanying disc, enable simultaneous dual-monitor support (though, the ports are specific: VGA port strictly for arcade monitors, DVI port for PC monitors).<br />

To do this create a text file called '''custom15khz.txt''' (or custom25khz.txt or custom31khz.txt depending on your needs) in the same folder as Soft15khz.exe and, for example, to disable the 321x256 resolution add the line '''remove 321,256'''.<br />
<br />
===Adding Custom Resolutions===<br />
Similarly to removing resolutions, custom resolutions can be added. This is done by creating a text file called '''custom15khz.txt''' (or custom25khz.txt or custom31khz.txt depending on your needs) in the same folder as Soft15khz.exe and adding the modeline details for each custom resolution.<br />
<br />
For Example:<br />
'''modeline "1920x1080@60i" 82,817 1920 2104 2288 2456 1080 1107 1108 1125 interlace -hsync -vsync'''<br />
<br />
You can use [http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl XFree86 Modeline] to calculate the modelines for your custom resolutions.<br />
<br />
==Supported Drivers und Adapters==<br />
It should work with any NVidia (ForceWare 66.93 and up), ATI (Catalyst 2.5 and up), Matrox PowerDesk and 3Dfx Voodoo3/4/5 Driver, which themselfs support a large number of modern video adapters.<br />
Attention! The Windows default drivers are NOT compatible.<br />

'''Soft-15khz is a software project maintained by BYOAC German member SailorSat. Due to the heavy development currently going into this project, the information on this wiki page may very well be out of date. Please check his original project threads at [http://community.arcadeinfo.de/showthread.php?t=8170 ArcadeInfo.de] for current details and update this wiki page as necessary.'''<br />
<br />
'''PLEASE NOTE:''' Soft-15KHz is a Windows application and will only function once Windows has loaded. Any resolutions that a computer outputs before Soft-15KHz kicks in may be harmful to standard arcade monitors.<br />
<br />
==About==<br />
The project “Soft-15KHz” is about reprogramming of videoadapters and/or their drivers to make them usable with normal Arcade monitors and/or TVs. It does this by doing small changes to the Windows registry to add typical arcade screen resolutions, as well as tweaking some existing ones, and locking out all others.<br />
<br />
It can be used as a simple free alternative to [[Custom_display_modes_%28Windows%29_-_Powerstrip|Powerstrip]] to allow Windows based computers to display on real arcade monitors without the need for specialized hardware. Unlike Powerstrip it has been developed with ''only'' arcade monitors and resolutions in mind and is steamlined and tweaked to help home arcade users.<br />
<br />
==Status==<br />
The project is to be considered ALPHA Status but should work as intended.<br />
<br />
==Current Features==<br />
* Frontend for Windows 98*, 2000 and XP<br />
* 15KHz Resolutions.<br />
* 25KHz Resolutions.<br />
* 31KHz Resolutions.<br />
* ATI Catalyst supported.<br />
* NVidia ForceWare supported.<br />
* Matrox Drivers supported.<br />
* 3Dfx Drivers supported.<br />
: * currently only supports ATI Catalyst on Windows 98<br />
<br />
==Planned Features==<br />
* 35-38KHz Resolutions.<br />
* Other Drivers supported.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
The use of the project is totaly free, however developing is not, as it sometimes requires to buy certain stuff, most likely new or special video cards.<br />

<div>==About==<br />
The project “Soft-15KHz” is about reprogramming of videoadapters and/or their drivers to make them usable with normal Arcade monitors and/or TVs.<br />
<br />
It does this by doing small changes to the windows registry to add typical arcade screen resolutions, as well as tweaking some existing ones, and locking out all others.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Status==<br />
The project is to be considered ALPHA Status but should work as intended.<br />
<br />
==Current Features==<br />
* Frontend for Windows 98*, 2000 and XP<br />
* 15KHz Resolutions.<br />
* 25KHz Resolutions.<br />
* 31KHz Resolutions.<br />
* ATI Catalyst supported.<br />
* NVidia ForceWare supported.<br />
* Matrox Drivers supported.<br />
* 3Dfx Drivers supported.<br />
: * currently only supports ATI Catalyst on Windows 98<br />
<br />
==Planned Features==<br />
* 35-38KHz Resolutions.<br />
* Other Drivers supported.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
The use of the project is totaly free, however developing is not, as it sometimes requires to buy certain stuff, most likely new or special video cards.<br />
So if you like the program feel free to donate some money via paypal to "sailorsat@animeger.de".<br />
