Hi folks

Maybe it's a stupid question but why does everybody talk about scale to 240p which should be the majority of the cores resolution but i get 224p on all cores?

regards

I just saw that this is because i use always NTSC settings and roms to play. Which was told me to so as 60hz runs way better than PAL 50hz.

Or is there a way to have the full resolutions of the PAL setting with 60hz?

From a MAMEWorld post:

"Regarding 224p vs 240p, this topic has been covered hundreds of times. What you really need to get is that at 60Hz/15.7kHz, both 224p & 240p are 262 lines tall including blanking. This means they're actually the *same* mode from the monitor's point of view. In other words: 224p = 240p + borders. It doesn't matter if it's MAME who adds the borders by software or you who calculate the modeline with borders (extra blank lines added to vertical front and back porch)."
