Quick question about super resolutions
« on: February 14, 2019, 12:18:50 pm »
The resolution for the neo geo is 320x224, and for the cps systems 384x224. If I understand correctly, that would mean that the proprer super resolution for these systems would be 2560x224 ? I added this resolution and Groovymame automatically picked it for the aforementioned systems, but there is one line of pixels missing at the bottom of CPS games with this resolution. The line is not missing when Groovymame uses the default 2560x240.

What is the reason behind it ? Is it really important to use super resolutions that have the exact same number of horizontal lines as the native ones ?

Really? I'm not seeing that behavior with CPS games on my setup and I also added a Super resolution for 2560x224.  ???

What is the reason behind it ? Is it really important to use super resolutions that have the exact same number of horizontal lines as the native ones ?

You probably used the ui sliders to adjust vertical shift at some point and it's memorized. Have a look at it and restore the default.

224p is redundant as it's been explained many times. 240p produces identical results signal-wise. Search for the explanation in this forum.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I made a search and from what I understand, as long as the vertical resolution is slightly bigger than the native ones, every line will be drawn+additional black ones.

I'm trying to wrap my head around all this stuff but this is all very confusing and complicated to me.

The 224 vs 240 case is a special one, it has to do with the 15.7 kHz horizontal frequency standard.
