MiSTer FPGA Forum

Using https://tomverbeure.github.io/video_timings_calculator and http://tinyvga.com/vga-timing to come up with modelines for the mister fpga I was a bit confused by the terminology being used. I sat down and mapped them out in the images below. I thought maybe it would be useful to someone else just getting started with modelines.

There is also a nice converter someone made here that will convert standard modeline formats for the PC to mister fpga format at https://github.com/morfeus77/MiSTerTools. So say you go to a website like https://arachnoid.com/modelines/ and it spits out a modeline in a format that isn't recognized on the mister. You can just use the conversion tool like so:

After posting this I found someone had gone through and converted all the resolutions from tinyvga to mister fpga format: https://github.com/glopgar/MISTer_video_modes

it's still a great resource, thanks for posting
