- | Now I'll open the folder with the CRT Emudriver files, and I'll launch **Setup**. The installer dialog shows one compatible device, that is already checked. My video card appears as **Standard VGA Graphics Adapter**. I'll click on **Install driver**. | ||

- | {{http:// | ||
- | |||
- | The installer will ask me to enable **TESTSIGNING**. This step is required in order to run modified drivers. I'll click on Accept. Now the installer will ask me to restart the system so **TESTSIGNING** is applied. It will prompt an error saying it can't continue installation. So I'll **RESTART**. | ||

- | Now my card is shown as Ati Radeon HD 5450, and the driver name is CRT Emudriver. Windows now asks me to restart the system. I'll **RESTART**. | ||
- | |||
- | //NOTE: A restart is always required when switching from the Standard VGA fallback driver to a normal WDDM driver and vice versa. When switching between different WDDM drivers (e.g. when updating an existing Ati/AMD driver with CRT Emudriver) Windows usually can load the new driver without restarting.// | ||

- | **STEP 2 - ENABLING EDID EMULATION** | ||
- | |||
- | I order to plug my Sony BVM, first I need to configure my video card to output a 15-kHz signal. I'll launch VMMaker for this. If everything is ok with my installation, | ||
- | |||
- | A nice thing about the HD 5xxx and newer cards is the support of a feature called **EDID emulation**. By means of this feature, Windows will detect non-PC monitors, such as arcade monitors and TV sets, just like any other PC monitor, and provide native support for the required frequency ranges. The emulated EDID will provide Windows with this information, | ||
- | |||
- | {{http:// | ||
- | |||
- | In order to create an emulated EDID, first I must select a monitor preset that properly represents the frequencies my monitor supports. I click on **Settings**, | ||

- | //NOTE: The " | ||

- | {{http:// | ||
- | |||
- | Now I'll go to the **Video card** tab. First, and very important, I'll make sure to **uncheck** the box " | ||
- | |||
- | The **EDID emulation** frame and its options are enabled and selectable, what means that this feature is supported by my card. I'll go to the **Output** drop-down menu. Now in order to choose the right option, use this logic: | ||
- | |||
- | - If your card has 2 analog outputs, the primary output is **Analog_0**, | ||
- | - If your card has 1 analog output, it will always be **Analog_0**. This applies to **HD 6xxx and newer** cards. | ||
- | |||
- | So, unless you're using a HD 5xxx card like me, always pick **Analog_0** here. | ||
- | |||
- | Because I'm using a HD 5450, which has 2 analog outputs, I need to work out which option is the correct one. As a rule of thumb, for most cards released in the past few years which have both DVI-I and VGA connectors, the VGA is the secondary port. For this reason, I will pick **Analog_1**. | ||
- | |||
- | //As a note, I have a **HD 6450** which is externally identical to my **HD 5450**, with both DVI and VGA connectors. However, in this case the card has only 1 analog output, on the VGA connector, therefore **Analog_0** is the right option. This confused me at the beginning because the DVI port on this card has the hole pattern of a DVI-I (digital/ | ||

- | Finally I'll click on **Enable EDID emulation**. | ||

- | Immediately after clicking, my PC monitor goes out of sync, as a **15.6 kHz horizontal frequency** is reported on its OSD. | ||
- | |||

- | |||
- | Time to plug my BVM. Without switching the computer off, I replace the PC monitor cable by the VGA->BNC cable (black) going directly to the BVM. | ||

- | Now I can safely turn the BVM on, and it will display a clear picture. There' | ||

- | **STEP 3 - SETTING MAME UP** | ||
- | |||
- | Now I have an usable 15-kHz display, but I don't have a proper mode list yet which I can use for MAME. Back to VMMaker, and click on **Edit Settings**. | ||
