I finally got round to setting CPCE up a while ago, and it does look great at 384x288. However, I can't find an option for vsync, so scrolling games suffer with tearing.

It's a long shot but I thought I would drag this old thread up to see if anyone else uses CPCE and knows of a solution?

Minwah:
I think the solution is to make a custom modeline for the CPC which as far as I can tell should be 384x272 resolution at 50Hz (PAL). This should in theory also work correctly for PAL C64.

I haven't had chance to try this yet but will give it a go and report back...

FWIW I tried this and still couldn't get rid of tearing completely. I tried several settings to get 384x272 with slight variances around 50Hz.

If the emulator api is directx9 you could try installing D3D Overrider. That should fix the tearing issues.

Hi Guys,

I am also using CPCE in a cab machine with CRT monitor and I would like also to display in low res. I have played with the CPCE ini file but cannot figure out where to change settings for a 384x288 resolution. CPCE is still running at desktop resolution whatever changes are set in width and height settings within the INI file. I am running Windows XP SP3 and Amstrad CPC gamebase pack.

Below a copy of my CPCE ini file. I am playing with the width and height but still having CPCE running interlaced at 640x480.
