CRT SwitchRes/Overscan issue
« on: July 21, 2021, 06:57:57 pm »
Hey everybody! This is my first post so apologize in advance...
SO I'm getting really close to getting my Sony KV13FS110 consumer TV working with my Windows 10 PC for retro gaming. I'm having a few issues thought that I hoped you guys could help me out with. One big issue is that I cannot for the life of me get CRT SwitchRes to engage in Retroarch and I'm having some pretty big overscan as well. Here are my specs...

Windows 10 PC
CRT Emudriver Adrenalin 18.5.1
Nvidia 1080ti on primary LCD display
Radeon HD 7870 to my CRT
From PC to CRT is DVI-I>VGA>Scart Adapter>Retrotink RGB2COMP>CRT

I'm not sure where to start as far as the overscan goes. I've read that I need to mess with my TV's service menu and adjust front/back porch values in arcade OSD although other sources do not overscan like that.

As for SwitchRes not working, I'm really at a loss for as well. I've tried setting my CRT as my main display and I've tried disconnecting my LCD entirely and only using the CRT with no success. It seems like it's just using whatever resolution I have set in windows.

The links to the adapters I'm using are here...

I followed this guide...

Here's a download link to my Retroarch Log and config...

I really appreciate any insight you guys would have. Thank you!
