Vertical crop in cores that don't support it in OSD

Is it possible to enable vertical scaling x5 with cropping for cores which do not have an OSD option for this via .ini? For example, Jotego arcade cores.
I have been looking for instructions but cannot find any. Thank you!

There's no way to do this without the cores themselves being programmed to support it.

According to Jotego and Atrac17 this has been added within the MiSTer framework itself so it can be added via .ini (their words not mine). That's why I am asking

If that's true, it would have to be something like how the shadowmask is handled in the ini file:
Code: Select all
;default Shadow Mask
;shmask_default=VGA.txt
;default shadow mask mode:
; 0 - none, 1 - 1x, 2 - 2x, 3 - 1x Rotated, 4 - 2x Rotated
;shmask_mode_default=1
But it's not documented, so you'd have to just try random .ini key names like crop_mode_default or 5x_crop something.
Assuming that functionality even exists. I'm hesitant to think it does, since the Mister.ini documentaiton doesn't list it.

Do you have the link for the documentation you are quoting please? I am interested to test the shadow mask stuff with Jotego cores

Note that all this does is set the default shadow mask used for any core that supports shadow masks where you haven't already selected one. If a core doesn't have shadow mask support (greyed out in the menu), it won't all of a sudden start working because of this setting.
