Hi Calamity,
Thank you very much for this release!!
I mentioned in my last post in this thread that I was getting the error message: "SwitchRes: could not find a video mode that meets your specs" when trying the ps_timing feature.
Well I managed to get it to work and I wanted to ask you a couple of questions about it. I've included a log showing the error as well as the ini settings I'm using.
By default I use the "arcade_15" monitor preset. In order for phoenix to run smoothly it needs to run at 16.784 kHz horizontal and 61.034 Hz vertical. I therefore exported those settings from powerstrip into phoenix.ini.
I discovered that I had to enter a custom crt_range in phoenix.ini. I used:
crt_range0 15625-16800, 49.50-65.00, 2.000, 4.700, 8.000, 0.064, 0.192, 1.024, 0, 0, 192, 288, 448, 576
Because Phoenix is running at horizontal frequency 16.784 kHz, I thought a limit of 16800 would be fine but I had to increase it to a minimum of 16968 for it to actually work. So therefore I was just wondering why I had to increase it so much to get it to work? The game still ran at 16784.
I have a couple of games that run at 352x256 but with different timings. I noticed that the last ps_timing setting, that happens to be used, overwrites the default profile for 352x256 in Powerstrip. Everytime a different timing is used for that same resolution it changes the default profile that I created in Powerstrip (for another purpose). I was hoping not to have this happen. Is there a way to stop that from happening?
As always, thanks for your help.
EDIT: I noticed a commenting mistake i made in phoenix.ini.txt. I meant to say that I had to change "horizontal" frequency range, not vertical.
