I've found a marquee monitor for my arcade cabinet. It goes in the slot intended for the original cardboard logo, so I can switch the graphic to match the game being played, while the game loads up on a Mister FPGA.
An old PI 2B is ideal for the simple job of displaying a graphic on command, but I'm struggling to get a display to it from the Pi.
The monitor has a weird resolution due to the long+thin geometry.
1680 x 342 @60
Aspect ratio is 280 : 57 according to this calculator https://andrew.hedges.name/experiments/aspect_ratio/
How on earth would I create a custom hdmi_timings config for this oddball setup?
