CRT_SwitchRes config problem with gameboy emulator

Hi I am on windows 10 with retroarch 1.9 my config is ok to use CRT_Switchres (Crt_emudriver) lot of cores work fine but with others cores no try to change the resolution by defaut i have the good resolution

I try to setup gameboy emulator to play with a crt 15kHz core : Sameboy (sameboy_libretro.dll) same issue with (gambatte_libretro.dll)

When i launch one game the first time, the resolution is 640x480
I use the retroarch menu (Quick menu) to setup the resolution
Back button -> Settings -> Video -> Output -> Screen Resolution i choose 2560x200 OK the resolution is applied without any problem

I save the configuration Quick Menu -> Overrides -> Save Core Overrrides

I have a conf file for the core \retroarch\config\SameBoy\SameBoy.cfg

Content : video_fullscreen_x = “2560” video_fullscreen_y = “200” Ok

When i restart retroarch and i launch a same game I have the message on the screen “Overrides config load…” the configuration file is loaded but the resolution is at 640x480 no error message

I try to add more options in cfg file like : aspect_ratio_index = 19 video_aspect_ratio = 12.8 video_fullscreen_x = “2560” video_fullscreen_y = “200” video_scale_integer = “true” video_fullscreen = true video_windowed_fullscreen = false video_refresh_rate = “60”

but no effect the resolution is always 640x480 Does anyone have the same problem ? Do you have an idea to impose a resolution to a core ?

Gameboy’s resolution is so small it physically can’t be displayed on a CRT so it sounds like it’s automatically falling back to 640x480. A 160x144 modeline just isn’t possible. You have to disable switchres for that core and set a low resolution manually (like 2560x224 or whatever).

thank you for your answer but with neo pocket emulator (beetle neopop) it works it must be a core problem by disabling switchres, the display is not good it stays in 640 x 480 with a modification of the window size
