Screen size on CRT TV

[Zing]

@nexusone13 Got it, sorry for the inconvenience.

@barbudreadmon do you also have a CRT HERO badge, can you help, or are you in the same situation as nexusone13?

@Zing @rahnpo did yo try this

global.videomode=DMT 16

[rahnpo]

@nexusone13 @Zing First of all, thank you very much for your support and your availability !!

@nexusone13 I will try to follow your advice as soon as possible, although honestly, I don't think it can solve my problem:
DMT is a video mode dedicated only to monitors, and I own a TV. Also, DMT 16 is a video mode with a too large resolution for my CRT TV.
I'll try it anyway, it won't hurt to try

@Zing said in Screen size on CRT TV:

are you in the same situation as nexusone13?

I am, no idea what this badge is refering to

[rahnpo]

@barbudreadmon thanks anyway, it don't matter.

@nexusone13 i tried to use
global.videomode=DMT 16
But when I start a game i have a black screen with background audio

I really appreciate the help of all of you, and I hope someone in the forum knows the solution to my problem.

@ironic I saw that you are a CRT Maniac. Please can you help me?

@rahnpo have you added the 'default' in recalbox.conf? Also activated/deactivated overscan in ES Menu? The hdmi video modes won't have any effect over composite.

[rahnpo]

@paradadf yes I did. In the recalbox.conf i edited "default" to global.videomode= and system.es.videomode=

Also i have deactivated the overscan, but despite everything working properly, the edges of the image come out of the screen. In the retroach menu of some psx games, I have seen that the screen size and resolution of the games, are set to 4:3 and 720x480. That is the esactly resolution of my TV, but the image is still not adapted to the screen. I tried setting the retroach screen size on custom, and I reduced the resolution from 720x480, to 640x480.
Now the image is more adapted to the screen, but on the sides of the screen there are two small black wavy bars that deform the image.
I am looking for an ideal resolution for games, which is as close as possible to the actual resolution of the original console.
For the size of the screen in the emulationstation and kodi menu, however, I don't really know what to do, the image is too big and come out from the edges.

@rahnpo sadly I don't have a CRT to test, but I'm aware of some resolution management improvements being currently worked on that will be available on the next v7. If nobody else can help you and/or you don't find the answer by yourself, there is still hope coming soon.

@paradadf thank you, I will wait for the arrival of the new version

@rahnpo I got it here

Set the default for all lines of "video mode" in these two files that I show in the image.

I did it using your configuration.
