I keep my crt in my cab at 320x240 because I dont like the shaking either. The only reason to run the crt in 640x480 or up is to be able to navigate and do work in windows, but since you are doing the work on a secondary monitor just leave the crt in a lower res progressive mode.

Great advice, this should fix his problem.

So I just checked it out and in game it does not shake at all, and as you thought, the res was 640x480. However I did not see any other option to select below that, that seemed to be the smallest one I could use and it also had the (Recommended) text next to it.
On another odd note, my RocketLauncherUI settings reverted and it was trying to find the RocketLauncherUI as the plugin and front end. Not sure why that happened, it was working fine last night. But after figuring that out I tested the games and the games weren't shaking like the UI was.

To me , Desktop and hyperspin wont look totally smooth because they running at 640x480 nterlaced i guess, but all games should look nice. I did try once hyperspin with 320x240 and it look great but not the desktop, so i just lived with it, as you spend more time playing than actually selecting a game.

I do have all that information in my original post. Maybe not settings, but what settings are you specifically asking about?

You most likely need to add that resolution to the user_modes-super.ini and generate the modelines again. It should look like this
## Desktop ##
640 x 480 @ 60.000000 desktop
320 x 240 @ 60.000000 desktop <-------add new res here
## Super resolutions ##
2560 x 240 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 248 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 256 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 264 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 272 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 280 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 288 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 296 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 304 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 320 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 336 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 344 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 352 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 360 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 368 @ 60.000000 super
2560 x 376 @ 60.000000 super

2560 x 800 @ 60.000000 super
once you have that file saved open up vmmaker and click generate, then install the modes again. You should see 320x240 in the windows resolution settings now. As for rocketlauncher resetting its config doesnt surprise me, seems Hyperspin and RL are still full of bugs that have to be resolved.

Great thanks a lot I will give that a go tonight and report back once I try it out.
