Can you 5x scaling on console cores but have integer scaled arcade cores?

Unread post by longnosedgoblin »

I use both console and arcade cores on a 1080p tv and have just tried the 5x scaling option which is great on console cores. However seeing as the arcade cores don't have a 5x scaling option they all scale to fit screen height. Is there a way to have them integer scale whilst keeping the console 5x scale?

Yes, see https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_Mi ... c-Settings. You could set vscale_mode=1 globally and vscale_mode=0 for each console core where you want to use 5x scaling.
