Hi I have my cabinet working perfectly with groovymame but recently I decided to add a few other systems SNES (zsnes) Genesis (Gens)
When I run them in 256*224 they are not switching resolution and I just have a box that is small on the screen running the game. Is there something I'm missing maybe in the config setup in attractmode or command line options etc..
I really appreciate any steer / help to resolve this issue
Thanks

Hi Strontium,
I assume you are looking for dynamic resolution change feature for those emulator. You will have to use either the standalone switchres application (not updated for a long time) or set the resolution using the xrandr command separately (game dependant).
The Genesis [320×224 (NTSC), 320×240 (PAL)] and SNES [224×256 to 448x512 ] are not sharing the same resolutions and you can experience in-game resolution switching as well.
The way forward (simple solution) would be to create a script to change the resolution and call the emulator. By selecting the most common resolution for each emulator, you will be in a position to have acceptable rendering for most of the games. Hope it helps.
