Hello... Please consider me a noob when it comes to PJ64. Played with a little a few years back... emu wasn't good, and neither was my PC, lol.

Anyway just started playing around again and I'm having trouble getting the correct aspect ratio on widscreen displays. I searched the forum and found somethings I tired, but those didn't work. Since all my displays are widescreen it would be nice to get this figured out. In the graphics plugin I've shown advanced and have checked "adjust game aspect ratio to match yours", no good. I've also searched my settings in my video card driver (ATI 9600 mobility... I'm running on a laptop) and there are no options to adjust any aspects of my screen.

My goal is of course to run full screen with black bars on the side, keeping the correct aspect of the game. I find it funny that there are GB, GBA, NES, SNES, etc emulators that simply have a check box "Enforce Aspect Ratio" I can use... while PJ64 does not??

Also... about wide screen games such as Perfect Dark. How should I use this correctly? Since the image is stretched already... should I simply enabel WS?... or use the 16x9 option?


Yoshi's Story
I tried checking the faq but it wouldn't or couldn't pull up the info on this game. When I start the game looks OK, but as soon as I walk or do anything the main screen stays, but another screen half the width but the same height and it flickers so I basically get two game screens. Just wondering if this is the normal error for this game or if this is something I can fix.


Sorry this got long... thanks,
TK.

Aspect ratio was a feature that was addressed in 1.7 due to some issues in 1.6... this is probably one of those issues

Thanks... I'm running 1.6 so I hope that when 1.7 is available for free that really is fixed.

How about the Yoshi's Story thing?... is this fixable for me or is this the normal issue... graphics card related???

It's an RDB issue, for Yoshi Story simply:

Go to the advanced section of the graphics settings, and apply the following values:

Resolution Width=319
Resolution Height=239

i have 320 x 240 myself :\

actually, theres an idea for jabo, allow the Plugin to scale up the emulated width/height so you can play such games at decent res

just tested and this is no longer required in 1.7,.. though it does have it set initially it works without it.

Perfect, 320x240 did it... not to downplay 319x239 at all though.

Thank you for the tip!!
