It really depends on your tv's compatibility. My LG G1 is highly compatible with non-standard resolutions and refresh rates so typically I can get away with the following attached example. I take the default MiSTer.ini and modify these lines:

Code: Select all

hdmi_audio_96k=1
vscale_mode=4
video_mode=13
vsync_adjust=2
hdmi_game_mode=1
vrr_mode=1

and I add this exception for vertical arcade cores:

Code: Select all

[arcade_vertical]
vscale_mode=5

Ive got a 65" LG G1 and like you i swear video_mode=13 & vscale_mode=3 looks better than 12 (in most cases) CPS2 games and a few others just wont sync and keep losing signal though so i have to use video mode 12 as an exception instead, although i tend to find that if i use vscale_mode=4 with video_mode=13 it makes the picture look blown up and abit blurry on my screen.
Also vrr_mode=1 doesn't sync properly on my screen and keeps reporting the wrong refresh rate its always a bit off so ive had to use vrr_mode=2 instead.

video_mode=8
vsync_adjust=2

The area of ​​3840x2160 is exactly four times the area of ​​1920x1080, so I did not use other resolutions
