Problem with CRT resolutions

Hi

I have a problem with CRT resolutions. When I configure each emulator with an specific resolution, retrobat does not change it, but shown is escaled. It works fine if I change the settings directly in retroarch, but the settings change again the next time I run retrobat.



these is my es_settings.cfg:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
   <bool name="EnableSounds" value="true" />
   <bool name="HideWindow" value="true" />
   <bool name="ScrapeFanart" value="false" />
   <bool name="ScrapeManual" value="false" />
   <bool name="ScrapeVideos" value="true" />
   <bool name="ShowOnlyExit" value="false" />
   <bool name="SortAllSystems" value="false" />
   <bool name="VideoLowersMusic" value="false" />
   <bool name="amiga.ungroup" value="false" />
   <bool name="ports.ungroup" value="false" />
   <bool name="updates.enabled" value="false" />
   <int name="recent.sort" value="7" />
   <string name="CollectionSystemsAuto" value="favorites" />
   <string name="GamelistViewStyle" value="" />
   <string name="HiddenSystems" value="screenshots;retrobat" />

</config>

Any ideas?

Which settings do you change in retroarch ?
Please post a working working retroarch.cfg file & post also a non working one so we can compare files

I change the Output - Screen resolution to 320x200, and the Scaling - Integer scaling to on

the result:

and the resultant cfg (only the video part):

I don't have the "non working" file to compare.

You set amstrad resolution to "240x192x32x60" in ES.
Retroarch is still using that resolution : video_fullscreen_x = "240" & video_fullscreen_y = "192"
video_windowed_position_width is set to "320" but we don't change that setting.

So I still can't see what make the difference. We have to compare the file before & after to see what changed. What you provided is not enough.

My bad, I have been testing the whole morning and lose track of the changes. I repeat it and there are the settings before and after.

Before, setting in retrobat resolution 320x240 and pixel perfect for the amstrad core:

retroarch.cfg before changing the settings in retroarch:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G-Sq5o3pXS-BvCXC01i8fXto63yk8nDg/view?usp=sharing

It works if I set the settings "ouput - screen resolution" in retroarch to 320x240 (it was 640x480) and "scaling - integer scale to on (was off)".

After saving the configuration, this is the new retroarch.cfg

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KtvsPW8JdKIGo49rocDm_sdWa-Qj6L1o/view?usp=sharing

it is interesting that there is no reference to the 640x480 resolution in the cfg files. But this is the resolution I see in the settings before I change it manually.

cheers

There are no differences between files concerning video options !

I see some diferences, but nothing relevant

bad is left, good is right

It's not a difference.

Ok

thanks anyway

cheers
