Hi folks. I need advice with one issue that I can not solve and have seen some people in this thread who might be able to help. I don't actually use Recalbox but RetroPie, but I hope you don't mind since the problem is universal. I will also consider switching to Recalbox if that's necessary.
Here's the problem: I'd like to know if it's possible to display vertical MAME games on my Pi2SCART + CRT TV setup, but without having to turn my 50kg TV on the "length" side every time. This means that there would be black bars on left and right but that's okay.
My current settings (240p) handle all the other platforms and horizontal MAME games just fine. Naturally, using these settings causes the vertical ones (>240) to be either squashed and ugly, or stretched outside the screen, losing big chunks on top and bottom.
I've been advised to use a 480i mode on the Pi (so the vert games would "fit") but can not find the proper hdmi_timings for that anywhere and am reluctant to experiment (already lost one TV doing that). Was wondering if anybody knows of a solution?
I'm using Rpi3B + Retropie 4.2 + Pi2SCART + 29" Sony Trinitron. My current settings are the usual ones from the 1600px fix found on RetroTink, Arcade Forge and other sites.
Thank you in advance!
