[Discontinued][17-09-22] RatRefresh - refresh rate switcher, stops LCD tearing
Rataplan626:
Thank you very much for the effort and insight! I'll take a look at it as soon as I have spare time again. If this works for Intel, this could easily be used as an alternative for my own tool. And you wrote it in a fraction of the time :D but in the for me most important thing is people can have a tearingless experience on their lcd-cab.
Howard_Casto:
I can confirm that it works. The changedisplaysettingsex api is what I used a few years ago to help rotate the taito type x games. It is a bit fiddly though... what works for one video card may not work for another.

You will still need to read the MAME xml and then add the appropriate resolution/refresh rate by calling my tool. We still don't know if it will set a valid floating point refresh rate so it might turn out to be useless.
Finally we still need ways for adding resolutions for nVidia and AMD. Well according to this article AMD may be as simple as setting a registry key. That leaves nVidia.
Howard_Casto:
I've been using AMD/ATI cards for years and for every one I've had at least, I can confirm that registry hacks are generally all you need to add resolutions. Of course my newest card is now a couple of years old, so YMMV.
Rataplan626:
Howard, did that include floating point refreshrates? Looking at the article it looks like its all just x-y resolutions rather than floaing point refreshrates as well.
I've had no time at all this week to work on my own idea. Still have some ideas if that doesn't work out.
