Title: Autoswitching and resolution changing question
Post by: GameBase on May 28, 2006, 10:41:04 am

I have a Hantarex Polo Star, and I'm just about to order an ArcadeVGA card (aim to running MAME on windows XP with most of my favourite games at their perfect resolution).

Quick question for when I've installed the AVGA card: -

When adjusting the settings and centering the picture etc for each of the supported resolutions (by using the monitor's controls), will these settings be remembered across resolution changes or will I have to adjust them every time I want to play a game in a different resolution?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

according to this article it does. Setup as recommended, then with the Nokia test program you can set each resolution to your liking. I have not yet tried this though... (having issues switching resolutions right now)

Good and useful reading. It helped me from frying my D9200 twice.

Hi,

Yeah I read this before posting (excellent article btw!).  I wondered if anyone had tried it with the Hantarex Polo Star, and if it did in fact remember the resolutions.
