The changelog of 1.7.7 version says: “CRT: Dynamic super resolution support”
What’s changed from previous version? It’s valid for RA on Windows or only Linux? I can’t find any differences.
Maybe @Alphanu can help?
If dynamic super widths have been merged then it is valid for both. in the CRT Switchres options you can choose between native, dynamic, 1920, 2560 and 3840.
dynamic uses super resolutions but they are not static. The width will change between 980 - 2000ish, this is to ensure that the widths are an exact scale of the originals. This limits artifating and incorrect aspect ratios.
For Linux this is all done by RetroArch, no need to add or change resolutions. For windows you will need to add these resolutions using you favorite application. There is no resolution list currently but you can download my dynamic width calc for windows. https://mme4crt.alphanudesign.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=11

Nice! I did not see this option on CRT Switchres. Gonna try a night build. Any guidance on adding those resolutions on crtemudriver on windows? Let’s say I want to create a resolution for 320x240@60. Using the calculator it gave a dynamic of 960. Then I need to create a resolution of 960x240?
Yes exactly that.
Let me know how you get on!

Created all the custom resolutions. Tested with various systems. CPS1/2/3 works. Nes works. (yeah!) Genesis/megadrive does not work.
When running Sega Genesis games the screen goes to 640x480i with the image in super wide in the middle.
Heres the modelines and a log file from RA

So genesis native with is 384 so you’ll need 1044x240
Genesis width is given as 348 per log. This suggests you have left/right borders turned on. You can try turning those off and see if that makes a difference. Or you install another modeline that takes increased witdh into account.
Got it!
The core is configured as Borders = Full. This is the problem?
Gonna try 1044x240 later today.
Dynamic is way better than Super res. Screen is sharper! 
I believe the necessary base resolution is what Retroarch reports when you set integer scale to 1 or when you take a screenshot (with GPU screenshot setting= off)
I’ve just noticed that for Genesis, having NTSC filter activated will also increase resolution.
Also, with a Radeon HD4000 series you should probably be able to use native res for almost anything. AFAIK the pixelclock for those cards is low enough.
I think the driver have a limit on the amount of custom resolutions.
Need to check if it can hold all native resolutions.
Swapped all my resolutions to native.
A lot of games stopped working.
They report strange resolutions. Now I need to run them and look at the logs and find the correct resolution.
What about the refresh rates? I can just use 60 for everything and it will adjust? Or I need to create specifc refresh rate for every console?
On the RA page it says that mega drive is 59.922745 and snes is 60.098812.
Is there a comprehensive tutorial anywhere for how to get this working in Windows, using a 31khz VGA monitor & an nVidia card? Right now it’s feeling like a round of whack-a-mole. nVidia control panel deletes custom resolutions, they don’t seem to do anything anyway, etc.
Is trying to get this going with a VGA monitor that can’t reach 120hz a dead end, btw? Seems that CRT Switchres tries to run @ 120hz no matter what - but that leads to out of sync errors, so I’ve got “Sync to exact content framerate” enabled, but I’ve a feeling that’s not very clever…
What kind of monitor is it? It should be able to run either native res (15 khz) or native res at 120 fps (31 khz).
It’s a Samtron 96P. Tried going the route of running it at 480p with shaders, but still unsure of how to properly get Switchres working in tandem with it.
480p and switchres are mutually exclusive. switchres is for running at the native resolution.
So it is impossible for a 31khz VGA monitor which cannot do 120hz to use Switchres?
In that case, I’m lost. I just want to run 240p material with scanlines & no borders or ghosting, at the correct framerate. That doesn’t seem to work with the ‘interlacing’ shader, as it seemingly requires integer scaling.
I’m pretty sure your monitor can do 120hz. The user manual says it can do 160hz of vertical refresh rate.
You can try to create the resolution using CRU. Or even using nvidia control panel.
Running 240p at 120hz on a vga (31khz) crt monitor will give you scanlines. No need to use shaders.
OK, after some fiddling I’ve finally gotten somewhere! Thanks, sonik!
However, I haven’t managed to get Dynamic super resolution to work. I got Nestopia running at 3840 (with scanlines!!), but the image isn’t 4:3, it’s cut off on the left side & since the menu is unusable fiddling becomes cumbersome.
Any clues?
Before you switch to the ultra-wide modeline, go ahead and set up as much of RetroArch’s options as possible. That is, you can set rgui menu, integer scaling, custom aspect and go ahead and stretch out the custom width as far as you feasibly can while still being able to navigate. Then, when you switch to the wide modeline, you should be able to stretch it out the rest of the way.
