project 64 widescreen

[thechadisgr8]

does anyone know of a way to set "force 16:9" or "stretch" as a default when rom is loaded. my problem is i am using the maximus arcade front end and i have my computer hooked up to my plasma. when i launch a game it defaults to 4:3 if i exit a game then i have the option of forcing 16:9 (via jabo's d3d) but not before./ what i need is either ,like i said, the ability to start all roms forced to 16:9 when started, or a setting to free the mouse when emulation starts, or if anyone knows of another graphics plugin with the same performance that would allow me to set default resolution. or maybe someone knows of a way to save rom setings so that it defaults to 1280x720

thanx in advance

here is my cfg file

I see you're using the N-Rage plugin. You can set a key to unlock the mouse in the "shortcuts" tab (next to Controller 4). I also suggest you get the newer N-Rage plugin (link) even though its developer seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet.

Once you unlock the mouse you should have no trouble accessing the video plugin options. Just a heads up, there may be no visible confirmation the mouse has been locked/unlocked (depends on "Show Messages" setting) but you'll be able to use the mouse if unlocked.

thanx alot for actually replying, you're a big help, no way to enable by default thought huh?

Well I believe if you enable it and leave the setting enabled when you close the emulator it'll remember it when you start up again. Just be sure that if you're going to use it that the game doesn't natively support widescreen. For example, if there is an option in the game to use 16:9, turn that on and just let the emu stretch the video to fit your resolution.

If memory serves the PJ 1.7 beta will allow widescreen settings on a per-game basis, but it still hasn't been released yet and the pj64 web site is gathering dust.
