vscale_mode=5 and aspect Ratio

[Milongero]

Hello,

I use a Philips 240B9 with 1920x1200 pixels for the mister since lately.
I want to use vscale_mode=5 (mode 4 don't work). further is set:

• Video_mode=1920,1200,60
• vsync_adjust=2
• refresh_min=48
• refresh_max=75
• video_mode_ntsc=1792,1120,60
• video_mode_pal=1920,1200,50

Can I just leave the aspect ratio at original or do I need to correct that. I once read that you should do this with integer scaling. As described here:
https://github.com/meauxdal/MiSTer_Custom_Aspect_Ratios
or is that obsolete by now?

Greetings Lutz

I kind of don't think you want to use vscale_mode=5, since that changes the actual output resolution. That's really more suitable for 4K TVs or CRTs. It seems like you always want to output 1920x1200 to avoid monitor scaling.

If you just want horizontal integer scaling, mosts cores now have it implemented as HV integer -/+. Just use vscale_mode=0 or 1, and set it in the core menu. You won't need to play with custom aspect ratios.

Some arcade cores might not be updated though, which would involve diving into custom aspect ratios. But still, you want to use vscale_mode=1 as instructed, and your native resolution of 1920x1200.

Thank you for your reply
But whats wrong with Monitor scaling?
