Do NOT sort any of these sheets!

Sorting a Google Sheet breaks cell references (see https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/86427/how-can-i-sort-data-with-named-ranges-without-breaking-references-to-the-ranges)
5
Actually, you may sort the "static" sheet without issue, but that sheet might not be current

April 2022 I created this spreadsheet based on /files/videoGames/MAME/hardware/Betson-Kortek KT-2914 27in multisync monitor/my 03DEC2005 resolution notes/betson resolutions/resolutions.txt
8
Original spreadsheet is saved here: /files/videoGames/MAME/hardware/Betson-Kortek KT-2914 27in multisync monitor/old/Betson OSD groups.ods

I used GroovyMAME 0.239

The new OSDgroups have no relation to the original ArcadeVGA info groups

14
[As of 18APR2022 I think the Betson can only save settings for 12 different groups]
15
-I believe there are 13 or 14 different groups, but after entering settings for my 13th group on 03APR2022 I noticed some of my other games' OSD settings had gone weird
16
-Some settings were reset back to defaults
17
-Some games changed which OSD group they were a member of
18
-I think I resolved my issue by resetting my last two OSD groups (Y and Z) to defaults and then never changing a setting in these groups again
19
-I'm fairly confident I could add one more group (a 12th group) without issue, but I haven't tested this yet
20
-Morale of the story, don't add a new OSD group unless I'm sure I'm going to use games in that group, otherwise it's just not worth the risk
21
-Note: I originally planned on entering settings for every resolution in this spreadsheet, but since I'm scared of finding new groups I've quit entering new resolutions (which is why there are so many blank resolutions)

ZOOM
ZOOM and H.SIZE are simply different names for the same setting. Changing one changes the other and they're always the same. I always use H.SIZE

-Vert?
Y this is a vertical game on a horizontal monitor, so swap the horizontal and vertical resolutions we record (for example 288x224 becomes 224x288)
62
-HR and VR columns:
horizontal and vertical resolutions as reported by MAME's "Machine Information"
63
H-K Switchres SR(0) //The SR(0) line from MAME’s "Machine Information" (last line in the "Video" section)
64
-SR(0) Xres: horizontal resolution, 2560 = GroovyMAME super resolution

[Horizontal Size setting]
89
Each horizontal # can have 1-3 "clicks"
90
If a # has two clicks I enter the first value as .0, the second as .5
91
If a # has three clicks I enter the first value as .3, the second as .6
92
For example, with Ms Pac-Man it takes three clicks to get through all horizontal value 28 settings:
93
-Click 1 = 28.0
94
-Click 2 = 28.3
95
-Click 3 = 28.6
96
-Click 4 = the Betson OSD finally flips to 29
97
I.e. even though the Betson OSD displays just "28" for clicks 1-3 these are three distinct values. 28.0 and 28.3 are fine, but 28.6 has shaking on the "Machine Information" screen
