I am trying to get RetroArch working on my HTPC. The HTPC is connected to my TV at 1080p@24.
I want that RetroArch changes the resolution to 720p@60. Somehow this is not working right for me. Under the Video-Section I put the X and Y resolution to 1280 x 720 and set the Hz to 60 also I disabled “windowed Fullscreen”.
After starting a SNES rom in fullscreen RetroArch changes the resolution but not the Hz. Is this normal or a bug?
That refresh rate blank tells RetroArch what the refresh rate of your monitor is, not what it should be. You’ll have to find some way of changing your refresh rate outside of RetroArch.
Ok. Makes it sense to set RetroArch to 24Hz instead and leave the monitor hz at 24p?
RetroArch is intended to work at 60 hz/fps, and that’s how it determines the speed of the game, so setting it to 24 hz would probably cause a lot of problems, but you could give it a shot.
It won’t cause problem to set monitor FPS to 24 fps. It will however forcefully disable vsync to avoid running at slug speeds. RetroArch does not try to change monitor refresh rates. You have to configure the refresh rate you’re using however, since APIs don’t report refresh rates reliably.
Thx for the feedback.
