Vi fix for PAL games in 2.1

[Frank74]

There's an undocumented option in the RDB called 'ScreenHertz', and it defaults to 60. This is the reason why no one could get PAL games running correctly in 2.1.

To fix, just add this line into the RDB for each PAL game of your choosing.

ScreenHertz=50

Now the framerate will be locked at 50VI's.

And if the aspect ratio is messed up add this line too.

Direct3D8-DesiredAspect=1

This seems to work well for audio timing with Azimer WIP2

SP Hack is not used in 2.1. Its now called Fast SP. Also Use Large Buffer and Self-modifying code Method is not used either in 2.1. These are from a 1.6 RDB.

Here are ALL the 2.1 default options that can be set in the RDB.

So your RDB only needs this.

[ABA51D09-C668BAD9-C:58]
Internal Name=40 WINKS
Good Name=40 Winks (E) (M3)
RDRAM Size=8
ScreenHertz=50
Use TLB=No
Fast SP=No
Linking=Off
Status=Compatible

If the VI's are struggling, add Culling=1 as well.

Thanks.

I guess some are not needed and the rest are defaults.

I've just played 40 winks for the first time.

I found the best GFX plugin to be Jabo's Direct3D8 1.6.1.

These are the RDB settings I'm using for 40 Winks. All the default 2.1 plugins used except for Jabo Direct3D8 1.6.1.
