Title: VMMaker custom resolutions while keeping original ones?
Post by: Stremon on May 26, 2019, 02:21:11 am

So I've been using the last version of CTR Emudriver and VMMaker, and it's working awesome so far.
But there is one thing I want to do but don't know how.
I have a good 4:3 PC CRT monitor that can display pretty much any resolution from 640x480 @ 60Hz and up.
When I use VMMaker to create the necessary custom resolutions (with 3, I am losing all the monitor original resolutions, and beside the custom resolutions, only get 16/9 resolutions somehow (720p, 1080p...).
Since I want to use my PC for other things than GM, is there a way to keep my monitor EDID resolutions when adding the custom one?
Thanks ;)

If you don't enable EDID emulation you shouldn't loose your native modes. What card, and version of Emudriver?

You mean I can use the custom video modes without the EDID emulation?
I use a Radeon HD 5770 with Emudriver 2.0 beta 15 (crimson 16.2.1).

Sure. EDID emulation is just for monitors without an EDID.

While I am here, do you know how to make retroarch work with those custom super resolution modes?
I tried pretty much every setting possible, but retroarch just doesn't want to change the resolution when loading a game  :'(
