Hey guys, I am trying to configure WinUAE correctly for Amiga CD32. I have followed the suggestions in this thread and while they work, I just don’t know which are the correct settings for “pixel perfect” emulation.
First, I tried lolo40’s settings. I modified my .uae config file with following:
gfx_api=directdraw
gfx_fullscreen_multi=360x240,360x480,720x240,720x480,1280x240,1280x480
and I installed the following modelines:
## AMIGA-C64##
360 x 240 @ 60.000000 amiga
360 x 480 @ 60.000000 amiga
720 x 240 @ 60.000000 amiga
720 x 480 @ 60.000000 amiga
1280 x 240 @ 60.000000 amiga
1280 x 480 @ 60.000000 amiga
This gives me a good looking fullscreen picture like so (click to enlarge):
However, I am testing with a second LCD screen connected where I keep the Windows screen resolution settings window open and I do not see the resolution change from 640x480 (my desktop resolution) after starting a CD32 game.
I then tried the settings posted by butanebob. I added the following to my .uae config file after the “chipset =“ line as suggested:
displaydata=25.000000,t=lace,pal,lace,gfx_width_fullscreen=744,gfx_height_fullscreen=575,gfx_linemode=double,gfx_refreshrate=25,gfx_interlace=true
displaydata=50.000000,t=lof,pal,nlace,gfx_width_fullscreen=744,gfx_height_fullscreen=287,gfx_linemode=none,gfx_refreshrate=50,gfx_interlace=false
I also tried Calamity’s edited version:
displaydata=50.000000,t=lace,pal,lace,gfx_width_fullscreen=744,gfx_height_fullscreen=575,gfx_linemode=double,gfx_refreshrate=50,gfx_interlace=true
displaydata=50.000000,t=lof,pal,nlace,gfx_width_fullscreen=744,gfx_height_fullscreen=287,gfx_linemode=none,gfx_refreshrate=50,gfx_interlace=false
and I installed the following modelines:
744 x 287 @50.000000
744 x 575 @50.000000
This gives me the following picture with black borders on the sides. Note that I turned up the brightness so that the borders are easy to see (click to enlarge):
With these settings, after starting a game, the resolution changes from 640x480 (my desktops resolution) to 744x287 then to 744x575 while the Amiga logo is on the screen, then back to 744x287 for the actual game and finally back to 744x575 on game exit, leaving my desktop with this undesired resolution.
So as you can see there’s a lot going on with this second method. Can someone let me know which of these 2 approaches is the correct way to go?
