Research direction
Start with the linked docs.libretro.com/guides/crtswitchres/ guide and review the reported RTX 3080, Radeon 5450, CRTEmudriver, and RetroArch cases. Map which current CRT and VGA-monitor setups need coverage, then consider the work done when the guide clearly explains setup and expected behavior for the supported configurations.

Description
Description
Switchres doesn't work because I don't know how to make it work. All tutorials are outdated by years, and the documentation explains extraordinarily little about how to actually get it to function properly.
Expected behavior
I expect to be able to find a resource that can explain to me very clearly how to get switchres to work on any television CRTs or VGA monitors I have connected to my computer.
Actual behavior
I've spent an entire week trying to get it to work. On an RTX 3080, switchres does nothing. On a Radeon 5450 and CRTEmudriver, it causes Retroarch to crash.
Steps to reproduce the bug
Literally just go here and read it and come away still knowing nothing: https://docs.libretro.com/guides/crtswitchres/
