Press START in emulationstation, Select Emulec Settings, Video Mode scroll up past the first entry and 1280x1024 should be there.

Thank you, but there is only 1280 \* 720 resolution, not 1280 \* 1024 resolution. Ver4.2 supports it, but I can’t find where to set it

Hey, you have to go to the very top option and press up again, it’s a bit awkward but thats how I got too it.

It makes me very confused. Different monitors have the option of 1280 \* 1024 resolution, but my 19 inch monitor doesn’t display this option, which bothers me. The monitor itself supports 1280 \* 1024 resolution

You also may be able to set a Custom resolution and add the value: “1280x1024p60hz” and see if that works.

If you compile the latest dev build, SSH in and copy/paste the following command:

```auto
echo "1280x1024p60hz" > /storage/.config/EE_VIDEO_MODE

```

And on startup it will get the value and insert it into the Emuelec settings.  
Or you could insert it directly by doing the following command in ssh:

```auto
set_ee_setting ee_videomode 1280x1024p60hz

```

Both require a reboot to apply the settings.
