15khz SNES Emulator

[alfshusen]

I have a setup like this: pc with arcade vga5000 card hooked up to a BVM D24E1WU thru a Extron RGB 203rxi.
I am not into MAME so I use an emulator for each console. For NES ,SEGA and NeoGeo It works great, but I have a hard time with SNES. When set to output native resolution, all the the other emulators works fine and the monitor switches to 15khz. But I cant get the SNES emulator to do the same. I have tried out several different emulators for SNES and I did find one called SNEeSE that did output to 15khz, but unfortunately I have trouble loading roms with it so I have to find another.

Anyone else with a similar setup and suggestions on what to try out?

I had good luck using the BSNES core in retroarch, and setting the resolution to 512x224 and adjusting the aspect ratio to fit. It looked much sharper than using 256x224.

How do you change reolution in Retroarch?

I don't have an arcadevga but according to a picture on their website it supports 512x240, which should be close enough.

Open up retroarch.cfg and look for these lines, if they are not present, add them

Code: Select all

video_fullscreen_x = "512"
video_fullscreen_y = "240"

also, make sure you add this if it's not already there:

Code: Select all

video_windowed_fullscreen = "false"

if it works correctly, when you load up a game, the picture will be squashed. go into settings>video options, and change the custom ratio to fit the screen. (also make sure integer scale is ON in video options)
