1280x1024 screen and resSwitch.sh

Post by Kevin_S » Thu Jun 18, 2020 11:41 pm

Hello,

The native resolution of my LCD is 1280x1024 (5:4). Does anyone have any experience switching to and from this resolution between MAME, Daphne, etc. in regards to resSwitch.sh? I know I should be using hdmi_group=2 and hdmi_mode=35 (or 36, 37) but before making alterations to resSwitch.sh I was wondering if the code for this switch back from MAME to the attract mode menu.

I have searched the forum and found little on this topic -- which is strange, because a 19" LCD is such a common arcade size and 1280x1024 is that native resolution.

Thanks in advance...

you will need to add your setting to resSwitch.sh, look for this bit:
if [ $hdmimode == hdmi_mode=1 ] || [ $hdmimode == hdmi_mode=2 ] || [ $hdmimode == hdmi_mode=3 ] || [ $hdmimode == hdmi_mode=4 ] || [ $hdmimode == hdmi_mode=16 ]; then
and either add or change one of the existing to hdmi_mode=35
This will disable the res switching so you shouldn't have to worry about it.
