I'm using a PC CRT monitor with my MiSTer, and these are my findings:
- VGA Scaler set to "on" solves a lot of my problems
- Changes on speed will cause issues unless I restart the core, so every time I want a different speed I set it to that speed, save settings as default, exit the core back to the main menu and then start the core again.
- 15 MHz still causes the monitor to report wrong frequencies, but 30, 56 and 90 work fine.
- As a rule of thumb, I would recommend to restart the core as described above for any config change, not only speed, for stability.
