DELL 2007fp Automatic Monitor Detection EDID Problems

Unread post by AlienPDX »

Hi Guys,
This is absolutely driving me insane and nuts at the moment and i dont know what im doing wrong.

my setups is a mister i an arcade cab with a dell 2007fp monitor.
Prior to the latest update on the main file, my setup ran completely great in 1600x1200

after this update, some cores jump back to 1280x720 , while they ran at 1600x1200 before (for example: Batrider ) resulting in a really thin stretched vertical screen (its a shmups) and i dont understand whats causing this ,fullscreen games turn into a blurry mess when switching to 1280x720

my videoline is this:
video_mode=1,1600,64,192,304,1200,1,3,46,162

but it seems to get overruled by the EDID feature on some cores (replacing the main file with the one before the update resolves ALL my problems, no res switching)

just for the sake i will post my ini here: (just the video parts) maybe u can spot a problem and help me out :|

I am using a HDMI2DVI dongle on my monitor but i doubt thats the problem...

Bump.

I have the EDID problems too. Is there a way to turn it off. The games I've tried look fine but the start menu is way off center. The EDID removes some of the settings I made in the monitor itself also.

This is what my ini file looks like:

Code: Select all


dvi_mode=0             ; set to 1 for DVI mode. Audio won't be transmitted through HDMI in DVI mode.
