Adjust Screen Position - Not "Sticking"

Hi,

I've been playing around the vga scaler (vga_scaler=1) to force NTSC output to a CRT for NTSC and PAL games.

I gotten it to work and while in MINIMIG I can use the Adjust Screen Postion to move the screen around and get it where I want it and I hit Enter and a little pop-up says STORED. After the pop-up goes away the screen potion reverts right back to what it was before I stated adjusting it.

Is ther something I need to do to get the setting to stick?

Thanks!

Yup. Don't hit enter. Save your config. Reset and it should be saved. Why? No idea ;-)

It is strange. It seems to work, but if you reboot then it doesn't load the screen positon settings. If you reset the core it keeps the settings, but still thiks you are still adjusting the screen postion, which messes with other inputs.

Ironically it's Amigavision's vadjust. You can move it out of the shared folder to see. Save intuitively: press enter when you finish the adjustment like you did originally.

Ultimately you will probably want to find a video_mode that doesn't require this manual adjustment, because you are gonna have some crazy shimmer this way. And you'll probably want to figure out how to use that vadjust to your advantage. But anyhow that's what's stretching the image back.

Ahh, gotcha.. Thanks for working through that with me!

Yeah, I'm going to investigate some external scalers and see how that goes.

Thanks again bfbiii!
