    Hello!

    I am familiar with mame. I use crt emudriver with a wg k7000. It was an awesome project, and never endging as I am having fun programming a front end.

    I have a raspberry pi running raspbian lite connected to crt via composite and forced firmware to ntsc 240p. Would advancedmame provide any advantages while using composite out? I cant seem to find anything in the documentation about using composite video.

    Thank you!

    Hi,
    you will not get any real advantage with composite-out, since custom video-modes are implemented only on HDMI output on RPi.
    But you could connect RPi to CRT in RGB and get pixel-perfect modes: i.e. RPi > VGA 666 (GPIO) > VGA - Scart cable > CRT.
    I wrote a tutorial (in Italian) here: http://arcadeitalia.net/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=29557

    @yami thank you for the response. Unfortunately, in the usa, tv's do not have rgb scart. We have RF coaxial and composite rca.
