EDIT: ok, the first problem was that i had to set aspect ratio to custom. When i enable the switchres option the program stays in 480i no matter what can somebody help?
Do you already have the static modelines set up?
Hi, yes i have about 30 modelines installed with VM maker and set the option to static, the modelines work perfect with groovymame but retroarch somehow just wont switch when i start a game. So it’s basically no difference if i enable the crt switchres option or not, since it just stays is 480i.
Can you get a log of it failing to switch? Perhaps it’s reporting an error.
Thank you so much for the help at first 
Sure, here’s a complete log of a neogeo game loading: (idk how i can upload a txt in this forum so i just paste it here): What i did was: i started RA on my PC then switched the monitor to the CRT then turned on CRT SwitchRes and then started the game (MAME Core). i cut a litte of the beginning of the log since it does not allow that much characters here.

This looks like it’s doing what it’s supposed to… Do other cores have the same behavior?
Yep, i tried different cores PSX, DosBox, and i think SCUMMVM and they stay in 480i all the time i can try more though
Can you try one of alphanu’s builds to see if it treats you any better?
Sure will do! THANKS! EDIT: could you send me a link so i’m sure i’m using the build you mentioned?
Well, I was thinking from alphanu’s repo:
But I don’t see any recent builds laying around anywhere…
Perhaps @Alphanu himself will have some advice for you.
I downloaded that build but cant execute the makefile for windows, hm have to did a little into that to get it running i think
Hey @hamster3001 Have you set your CRT screen to the default display? Currently RA only switches the first display adapter! It one of the small things I overlooked when creating CRT SwitchRes.
Do you have any shaders enabled?
Do you have settings in the CFG for fullscreen x or fullscreen y?
have you set the correct supperres for your installed resolutions?
What resolutions have you got installed?
Due to having to use static mode lines, Hz have been set to exact integers. this means that [email protected] would need 320x240@60 installed! I am in talks with Calamity and will hopefully bring dynamic modelines into CRT SwitchRes.
If you want to get the best out of you setup you should try Linux. You can dual boot with windows.
I will be adding support for multiple displays, Its in a long list of addition that need including.
@hunterk My latest code base is at https://github.com/alphanu1/MME4CRT I only use _GA for testing.

Hey Alphanu! Thanks so much for the detailed answer! Here’s my current state:
-
No, didnt’t know that! Thank you! CRT Switch res definetly has some effect now (ill describe which below).
-
Shaders: dont think so: is this the video-filter option i dont have anything in there in the cfg or the menu.
-
Fullscreen x, fullscreen y: that could be still the main problem: what am i suppsosed to put in there? I left both values at 0. Also what values should i set custom aspect ratio width and height? put 640x480 in here since it is the desktop res of the crt (480i).
-
Here’s my super Resolutions (mainly come from groovymame usage):
- Dynamic modelines + multiple Display support would be great!
I think im really really close now: here’s what i looks like atm, it now just has some strechting issue, but the resolution seems to have changed to a progressive resolution which is great!
Pics:
Here are some screenshots of my video settings maybe that also helps: (taken from my pc monitor, therefore switchres is of and the monitor index is 0 instead of 2, and fullscreen is off which is on the crt is on of course)
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HELP!
Alright! Think i got it!
what i just had to do is set custom_viewport_width = “2560” custom_viewport_height = “240”
now it seems to work!

You need to use core provided or 1:1 PAR aspect ratio, otherwise your aspect will be wrong on other resolutions. Aspect ratio switching is also done within the CRT SwirctRes code.
Also make sure these setting are set to 0, custom_viewport_width and custom_viewport_height

Thanks! Yes, this works even better!! So awesome on a CRT with RunAhead! THX A LOT!
Maybe its for another topic but: how can someone know which cores work with switchres, for example SCUMMVM works great, but DosBox doesen’t.

You have it sorted (yay) so I’d just like to re-emphasize that CRT SwitchRes only works on the default monitor (at least in Windows). I did not see this mentioned anywhere a few months ago and had a frustrating time getting modes to switch. (Working now, though, and it’s a game-changer. Love it.)
If you have multiple monitors (I assume most people have the CRT attached as a secondary screen) the software DisplayFusion is a huge help for easily switching between different monitor profiles via hotkeys. I have one that enables the CRT and makes it the primary display, and another does the reverse (returns to normal dual LCDs with no CRT). It has many other great points too.
This is a pic of DisplayFusion running my normal dual-screen setup. (Windows assigned the CRT to be screen 4 and 2 is an HDTV that’s usually disabled. The underline on the 1 denotes primary monitor.)
@Alphanu since I haven’t posted much lately I haven’t thanked you. Well, thank you! CRT SwitchRes has marked a huge leap forward in emulation enjoyment for me. Amazing work.

Hey, cool, this looks like a great alternative until switch res supports multiple displays!

Hello everybody,
I don’t manage to get switchres working, retroarch doesn’t start when i set 15khz/SwitchRes (crt_switch_resolution = “1” )
I set up superhires modelines (working fine with arcade_osd.exe).
this is the last lines i had with --versbose mode before retroarch quit.
[INFO] [CRT]: Requested Reolution: [email protected]
[INFO] [CRT]: SR init
[INFO] [CRT]: CRT Mode: 1 - arcade_15
[INFO] [CRT]: SR init_disp
[INFO] [CRT]: RA Monitor Index Mnual:0
[INFO] display \\.\DISPLAY1
any clue ?
Note:
1/ I don’t manage to create a new topic (sorry)…
2/ I try lot of combinaison in retroarch config file without success
3/ GroovyMame, mendnafen(emu4crt) working fine.
I found the problem: Old GroovyMame / mme4crt / or mendnafen(emu4crt) use older version of in-build Switchres.
So my problem is to get Switchres 2.0 working. (ADL errros…)
I had "CRT Emudriver & CRT Tools 2.0 beta 15 (Catalyst 12.6) " drivers installed on my system. needed to upgrade to “(Crimson 16.2.1)”
Be Warned !! I’ve installed the new driver to upgrade, it crashed all my mamebox, lot of hours lost, needed to reinstall Windows 10.
now all seems good (latest GroovyMame/Retroarch/mendnafen(emu4crt) still workng).
Have a nice day.
