acpowell Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 I recently got my 27" CRT working. It runs in 800x600. Mame works fine, but when I go to launch demul games it changes the resolution and possibly the refresh rate to something my monitor doesn't support. Is there is a way to force it to be 800x600 at 60Hz. I have tried playing with settings but I cannot seem to get it. The games do run in windowed mode. I am using the latest version of demul: DEmul v0.7A 180816 Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Avar Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 Is it not letting you manually set a lower resolution in the config?

My monitor is under the knife at the moment. When it is fixed I will revisit and let you know where a am changing it.
acpowell Posted June 26, 2017 Author Posted June 26, 2017 I said I would update when I knew more and now I know more. First things first: It is clearly a setting on my machine because a friend has an exact copy of my build with the same hardware and a similar CRT and his works fine. I did get a new monitor (different model) and it also works now. I have a completely different demul issue I need to deal with now and I will make a separate post about that.
acpowell Posted July 5, 2017 Author Posted July 5, 2017 Not really sure what the issue was. When I posted this I was using a SVGA CRT. I am now using a Tri-Sync CGA/EGA/VGA CRT and I have no issues. My friend who has a similar SVGA to mine had no issues to. I guess it was user error.
