Since I moved pretty much all my retrogaming/emulation activity to linux, I see and learn new things every day...

Yesterday I came across this post:

I had no idea xrandr was able to feed a predefined segment of a video-output to a monitor.

It looks like intel is pretty non-restrictive when it comes to custom resolutions. It's the pc-manufacturers that enforce certain display modes and lock custom resolutions.

I'd love to know if there's a way to unlock these restrictions ...

mame2003 plus and mame2010 dont set original refresh rate.. fbalpha do it

for example: neogeo games launched with mame2003+ and mame2010 running at 60hz, fba running them at 59.180
1944 too has problems, 60hz with mame , 59.630 with fbalpha

i missing some options in mame maybe?

Hi,
I have an old via epia mini-itx motherboard, model EK10000g with integrated video, a VIA C-PRO

datasheet

Any chance on using it for 15khz MME4CRT without adding a pci graphic card?

No much to explain here. 

Check out the video for details,

The alpha test ISO can be found here. in live cd mode or after install. load RetroArch, enable CRTSwitchRes then connect your CRT.

can we have "adaptive resolution" for vertical games on horizontal crt with interlaced resolution how advancedmame  do?

My employer (a newspaper company) upgraded their office PC's and is selling off their old hardware.

   

It's a HP Elite 8000 ultra small formfactor:

• Core2Duo 3,16 GHz, E8500
  
• 4 GB DDR3 Ram
  
• 250 GB HDD, 7200 RPM
  
• Intel GMA-4 GPU
  
• 6 * USB 2.0, 1 * VGA, 1 * LAN, 1 * Audio, 2 * PS/2, 1 * Displayport
  
• Dimensions: 25 x 25 x 7 cm, Weight: 3 KG
  

Hi, @alphanu 

neither of N64 cores (parallel, mupen64plus and mupen64plus-next) are switching to native resolutions. They render only at the desktop resolution, 640x480 in my case. I'm on windows 10 using CRTEmudriver and NATIVE 15khz settings on mm4crt. Also, I have these modelines installed with vmmaker for n64:

384 x 288 @ 60.000000 n64
480 x 360 @ 60.000000 n64
640 x 222 @ 60.000000 n64
400 x 440 @ 60.000000 n64


When using the regular ReatroArch build, they switch only to 320x240, no matter the game.

I have an issue on windows 7 using retroarch 1.7.6 where when i launch a game and exit from it, the desktop resolution is not restored
Is that a setting i have to enable somewhere?
My desktop is on 640x480 @ 60hz
Also i notice that i have what sound like crackled sound in most games and emulators in tetrarch, using FBalpha latest, game libretto latest and also in genesis fx plus

My machine should be able to handle the audio i believe :



windows 7
core i7 with 8GB ram
HD5450 radeon with emu driver
SSD disk

Mame 0.206 with groovymame is also installed on this same machine and works great (it's a version with portaudio using d3d9ex)

I attached my current retroarch.cfg file
