Different video config for HDMI vs VGA output

Unread post by MrWeedster »

Hi.

New user here, sorry if i ask a question that may be already answered a thousand times, but i didn't find anything.
Is it possible to set different video modes if using HDMI vs VGA?
I'm using the mister on two different displays: A HDTV and a CRT and i switch when needed.
The problem is i set a video config that the CRT has 85hz but my TV can only handle 60 hz.
Is there a way to configure this properly so when it is hooked up to the CRT it puts out video mode x vs when it's plugged in to HDMI it puts out video mode y?

You make two .ini files and then switch between them with a keyboard shortcut.
Go here for details:

Yes, use vga_scaler=0. Then HDMI uses the scaler and VGA does not.
