Installed emudriver on R9 380 and WG D9200 monitor and only 640x480 available?

Hello-
I am resurrecting my MAME cabinet that used to use WinXP and an ArcadeVGA card. This time I built on Windows 10 with ATI Raedon R9 380 and am still using my Wells Gardner D9200 monitor. When I used to have this cabinet setup on the old setup windows would output at 800x600, but since installing the new setup and the latest CRT Emudriver I can only get the monitor in 640x480 in windows. It seems to work OK in MAME with the switchres (I think..not sure how to check?) and games look great, but the limited resolution in the OS makes setting up things hard like LaunchBox as the interfaces don't work at 640x480. Is there a way for me to force the card to output at 800x600 since I know this monitor supports it? Don't want to do anything that would compromise the stability of the build, but would be nice to have a bit more screen area for windows. Thanks!

Have you run VMMaker.exe to setup your emulated monitor EDID and video modes yet? It will be with your crt_emulator driver setup files
It comes with a preset monitor profile for the D9200.

I did run vmmaker but maybe I did it wrong? Can I run it again and replace current settings? Do you happen to have a link to most current instructions for that step? I used instructions from calamity forum but images didn’t work so maybe I missed a checkbox or something?

There are no images in Calamity's instructions for HD5000+ cards??:

I was wondering if you'd missed Step 3, because you mentioned having "only" 640x480. But now I look at the default "user_modes - super.ini" I see that 640x480 is the only standard resolution listed.
You should also check out this post from ahofle regarding D9400 and 800x600. Looks like you need to add it to your "user_modes.ini" (or is it your "user_modes - super.ini" when using super modes? Heck, add it to both files).

One way to see what video modes are installed is to use arcade_osd.exe, which comes with the install package. You can also use this to change the desktop mode.

Correct, I just get ALT pointers to the images and the links provided don't load images either (and I am logged into that forum too). I will go back through the directions and see if I can make changes you suggested and report back.
