All resolution are integer scaled and aspect ratio corrected to match the original resolution. Unless you realy need a locked super width only choose native and let SR do all the work. Even if you monitor does not support native resolutions the best optopn to choose will be Native. For windows SwicthRes will look for compatibale modes with an dwithout super widths. Fo Linux you can add the switchres.ini **(see Advanced Settings below)** into you retroarch folder. Edit this file and change the dotclock_min form 0 to 25.0. This will then calculate dynamic super widths for cards that do not support low dotclocks (native width produce low dotclocks).

## Advanced Settings
As CRTSwitchRes is now using Switchres by Calamity, there are many options to customise you enviroment within the switchres.ini. However, some options are available with the CRTSwicthres settings menu in RetroArch. Although more setting can been set in the switchres.ini it is not a required. It does however allow for more customisation. For more details on how to configure and use the swicthres.ini, [go here](https://gitlab.com/groovyarcade/support/-/wikis/3-Post-Installation-and-Maintenance/3.9-Configure-System-Wide-Switchres).

A default switchres.ini file will be searched in the current working directory, then in .\ini on Windows, ./ini then /etc on Linux. The repo has a switchres.ini example.

## Core and directory overrides
If you are using a `switchres.ini` configuration file and wish to fine-tune specific setting for certain cores or directories, it is possible to use core and directory overrides for this. These files can be placed at the same locations as the usual `.cfg` files for RetroArch's core and directory overrides, only replacing the `.cfg` with `.switchres.ini`.
For example, if you are using native resolution on your configuration but want to user a 2560 super resolution on the Gambatte core, you can create the file `CONFIG_DIR/config/Gambatte/Gambatte.switchres.ini` with the content `user_mode 2560x0` in it. This setting will override the one on the original switchres.ini file when running this specific core, and when closing it, or switching to a different core, the default `switchres.ini` file will be re-loaded to undo the change.
For example, if you are using native resolution on your configuration but want to user a 2560 super resolution on the Gambatte core, you can create the file `CONFIG_DIR/config/Gambatte/Gambatte.switchres.ini` with the content `user_mode 2560x0` in it. This setting will override the one on the original switchres.ini file when running this specific core. When closing this core, or switching to a different core, the default `switchres.ini` file will be re-loaded to undo the change.
The same works for directory overrides; for example, if you want to use a super resolution of 2560 for roms in the "Sega - Game Gear" directory while using the Genesis Plus GX core, you can create the file `CONFIG_DIR/config/Genesis Plus GX/Sega - Game Gear.switchres.ini` and add the user mode to that file.
The same works for directory overrides.
Example: If you want to use a super resolution of 2560 for roms in the "Sega - Game Gear" directory, while using the Genesis Plus GX core, you can create an override.
Create the file `CONFIG_DIR/config/Genesis Plus GX/Sega - Game Gear.switchres.ini` and add the user mode to that file.
!!! note
You have to be using a full, complete `switchres.ini` base file for the overriding files to work properly, otherwise overriding settings will persist until you restart RetroArch.
