No, EDID overrides generally don't work with virtual machines. You'd need a graphics driver specifically designed for the virtual machine software to provide the resolutions you need.

I experience random pixels distributed horizontally along a horizontal border separating backgrounds in different colors. Say there is a horizontal border separating a "background" of white and another in some other color. Along both sides of that border, a few scanlines off-set from the border and possibly each consisting of a few scanlines (at least one), there are scanlines of random pixels distributed and redistributed each frame (or each few frames), that seems to have the same color of the background on the other side of that border. Although I'm not an electronics guy, I suspect that may have nothing to do with cable/bandwidth since I'm underclocking (and not overclocking) the refresh rate. So I'm curious what can be causing this, and if there may be a solution.
You'll have to try different timing parameters. Try the LCD standard, LCD native, and even the CRT standard timing options. If that doesn't help, the monitor might not be able to handle 50 Hz correctly.

This may possibly not have anything to do with the display and rather a fault of the amiga emulator, but I suspect not entirely so. The most obvious experience I have of this one is when I run some physics implementing game like say, Pinball Dreams. The ball often goes nuts with absurd and very physics-law-breaking behavior. Particularly when the left flipper is involved. It is as if the ball is "induced" with some spin out of nowhere driving the ball usually too far right, and sometimes it just bounces back and up. Very bizarre, and I cannot experience that when running 60Hz, whether with vsync turned on or not in the emulator. And yes, most of the amiga games where written for PAL systems (50Hz).
That sounds like a bug with the emulator.

CRU is for defining monitor resolutions, while VSR adds virtual resolutions for supersampling. They're completely different things. VSR should already add 3840x2160 with a 1920x1080 monitor and 5120x2880 with a 2560x1440 monitor.

LCD native gave same result as LCD standard (random pixels). CRT standard made the monitor display a static random noise of lines and pixels all over the screen in many colors, the same thing I experienced when trying CRT standard with the VGA connection. I also selected LCD reduced, but as the automatic parameters were exactly the same as those in LCD standard, I didn't bother to actually try it.
Shame that the monitor contradicts it's EDID announcement of support down to and including 48Hz, with that "input signal out of range" message on 50Hz, plus that random horizontal dynamic pixel noise Sad

Thanks for the feedback. Btw, do you know of any article/text, with any possible math restricted to basic highschool level, to gain an understanding of all the parameters ?

I have BenQ XL2411Z. I often use CRU to archive lightboost at 120Hz. I tried VSR at 2k, it only lets me have 100Hz. Is there anyway to get to 120Hz with CRU?

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
Hi guys, new here, just wanted to try and get some help since nothing I'm trying is working...

I just bought a used Samsung SyncMaster SMS22A100N Monitor, and I've connected it to my PC via VGA - using my PC's integrated graphics, since my dedicated graphics card has no VGA slots.

And it's been nothing but trouble.

I cannot get the resolution to sit right! Every time I go to chance it i'm stuck with either 1600x1200 or 1900x1440 or something ridiculous in between - 16:9 just doesn't seem to exist for this thing, despite the user manual listing it.

I've downloaded CRU 1.3 to try and force a resolution but no matter what I do 1920x1080 doesn't appear anywhere. I've tried basic resolution settings, advanced resolution settings and even display mode.

ANyone got any ideas? I can provide additional info if asked.

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
I using 89hz as your help, but I got critical bug now.
I installed new Windows. For unknown reasons, the scan rate is fixed at 75hz if reboot.
Also, monitor sound driver is disabled. (showing 'Not connected')
I can reset 89hz in option, but when rebooting it returns to 75hz again.
This phenomenon does not appear from the beginning, but suddenly appears from a moment. I suspect a bug in Windows itself, but I do not know why.

Did you make sure to import the .bin file I gave you using the "Import complete EDID" option? That should fix the video input definition in the EDID.

If that didn't help, try running restart.exe and click the "Recovery mode" button. Then exit and reboot. That should reset the Windows screen resolution settings. Then try setting 89 Hz and see if it sticks after rebooting.

That monitor should be plug and play unless something's wrong with the EDID or the cable. Is the integrated graphics Intel? CRU uses EDID overrides, and Intel is currently working on adding support for EDID overrides. Intel recently released a test driver that allows CRU to work on some systems: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa...est-Driver

You might be better off using an active HDMI to VGA adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZMV7RL2/?tag=mtests-20#ad

That adapter will provide its own EDID with 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz if the monitor's EDID isn't available.

VSR uses the refresh rates available at the native resolution. If 120 Hz isn't available with VSR, then that's a video card limitation. For what it's worth, I've verified that the RX480 supports 3840x2160 @ 120 Hz with VSR.
