Is it possible to set multiple video_mode resolutions in the ini for RTG?

Unread post by markpaterson »

I like to use video_mode=800,600,60,cvt for workbench to give me a little room, but I'd like to use 640,480,60,cvt for Shapeshifter, because the majority of Mac games are 640x480. I'm using a VGA CRT, so there's no issue with scaling.

Is there a way to define two resolutions in the ini file? I know there is a separate option for PAL and NTSC but I'm not sure how I could "hack" that to make it work.

PS - I'm not concerned how this would affect Amiga games because I use a separate Amiga Vision config for gaming. My request is only for my own personal config which I use for Amiga productivity apps and Shapeshifter.

I'm not aware of a way in the way you ask, but you could use an (mgl) file to show an alias to the Amiga core under a different name, then use that alias to force the resolution you need. You'll keep the existing core as is and have a sandboxed version of the core alongside it.

As you've got AmigaVision, there are some example mgl files you can look at in that directory.
