How to set the display refresh rate

Mixon · 08 January 2023, 13:38

Hi!

My LCD monitor works with 1920*1080 60Hz (windows).

How to set the WinUAE display refresh rate?

Set to "60Hz NTSC"?

With this setting works smooth, but some games too fast (pinball fantasies AGA, etc)

With other settings not run smooth.

Thanx
M.

The display resolution (1920*1080) has nothing to do with the speed of the gameplay other than consuming your PC resources.

The vertical screen refresh rate (60Hz) is the NTSC standard over the PAL (50Hz) and also has nothing to do with speed of game play other than the legacy clock timings that saw PAL machines run games slower than NTSC games on NTSC machines.

Turning off JIT and setting CPU cycle-exact is the way I found works. Especially with WHDLoad titles.

Like Snoopy said it might not be the real problem, but you can set the refresh rate in the display panel:

As predecessors wrote this is not a problem. Set configuration to defalut config A500 or A1200 and perfect would be to set refresh rate to 50Hz if you have it.
