@alphanu1 The documentation needs some update ? Thank you.
So I've actually got it all figured out now, and I suppose this is stuff for advanced users anyway, but it did take me a couple of weeks to get it working. I would say that the documentation basically needs a straightforward tutorial, which at this point I could probably contribute to.
That'd be awesome, actually! I think a lot of people would find that useful.
How did you get it to work?
How did you get it to work?
Core override files.
Can you please share or point me to some references? I have been trying to get thus working for weeks without any luck.
Unfortunately there are so many software quirks to just about every step that writing a simple tutorial is impossible. The main documentation mentions how core override files are set up /cfg/corename/corename.switchres.ini
Here is the thread where I discovered the base INI file is being ignored:

And here are my posts with the monitor presets I worked out for my SVGA monitor and my CRT TV:

If there's a particular point that you're getting hung up on you can send me a DM there and I can probably get you through it.
Description
Switchres doesn't work because I don't know how to make it work. All tutorials are outdated by years, and the documentation explains extraordinarily little about how to actually get it to function properly.
Expected behavior
I expect to be able to find a resource that can explain to me very clearly how to get switchres to work on any television CRTs or VGA monitors I have connected to my computer.
Actual behavior
I've spent an entire week trying to get it to work. On an RTX 3080, switchres does nothing. On a Radeon 5450 and CRTEmudriver, it causes Retroarch to crash.
Steps to reproduce the bug
Literally just go here and read it and come away still knowing nothing: https://docs.libretro.com/guides/crtswitchres/
