N-Gage is a phone so it could be rather complex, depending on how much of the phone side is needed for gaming. Game-com is probably much simpler, seems even less capable than a gameboy, although you'd still have to find someone interested in doing the substantial work.

I'm not super familiar with this game but moved around a few screens and never saw a desync. Using a C1 with freesync and vsync_adjust=2 @ 1080p.

Gameboy/color have a "buffer" setting that is also important.If it's off, HDMI video will drop whenever software turns the screen off, which was often done when loading/switching to a new screen.

"Best" is probably one of those newer 27" 1440p OLED monitors attached to a VESA mount that allows tate rotation. But that is quite expensive. Still as far as flat panels go, you can't beat the motion response or perfect blacks of OLED, plus the Misters' new HDR support can make filters look good on a real HDR display.

I've seen sync issues with the default video modes. Try spelling it out instead like this:

video_mode=1920,1080,60,cvt

The cvt is optional, it may work better with or without.

Hell you got a 1200p display, why not use all of it? Then you can do a 5x integer scale without having to crop.

video_mode=1920,1200,60,cvt

I've had weird sync issues on my C1 in the menu core using video_mode=8. If I spell it out though (video_mode=1920,1080,60) then they go away. You might try that. (Although I don't think that works for 2560x1440. Best you can do is video_mode=1920,1440,60.)

I'm more surprised that any video settings would cause a "crash", rather than just a sync failure.

Doesn't update_all have alternate names.txt options?

Aren't all the brightness/contrast/tone settings ETC. in mister.ini done at the level of 8-bit color? Since we are told the HDR implementation only adds metadata, it doesn't do any conversion of color to higher bitrates....

I will admit I've returned to using color gamut="auto" due to accuracy. Its not just a question of more or less saturated, it feels like there's a red shift or something. So with "auto gamut" I instead turn up the TV color to 60, and have the option to turn it up more if I want more saturation that way.

Metal Slug games have save support and I appreciate it, because its the kind of game like many others I'd rather take one or two levels at a time! Same with arcade belt scrollers even...

Is there something different about how cheats work with CD consoles? I don't get any to appear on the turbo CD and I could use some...

Think that the vertical crop options, designed for integer scaling at 1080p, also affect the CRT output.

Sounds pretty odd but glad you got it working.

Amiga DM added footstep sounds and Amiga CSB added a magic automap, some cool things missing from CSBWin since its based on disassembly of the Atari ST version. Although it might still win out of sheer convenience.

PC DOS DM has the footsteps and an interesting ending FMV. Don't recall if CSB was ported.

I take that as confirmation that it's not a DS core at least.

composite_sync=1 has no interaction with RGsB, else you would need it on for component video (which is just ypbpr=1 and SoG). I think it just crams composite sync into either the H or V channel. Composite sync being completely different from sync-on-composite (zero chance for confusion there...) I think this article tries to explain.

Don't know what adapter to use, but I do know that turning on SoG 1) does not affect direct video, and 2) does not erase HV sync even on the VGA side.

Just using vga->component breakout should be simple? Since the same sync as composite will be there on the Green line?

You can try raising the color on either your TV or the Mister.ini but yeah I did notice a change there vs. when HLG was mode 3.
