Aspect Ratios - What size do you use with MALA?
« on: April 04, 2009, 02:58:19 pm »
When making layouts for the masses, this question always crosses my mind.  I'd like to know what you guys use.

* You have up to 3 votes if you have multiple machines.  Please don't vote more than necessary.
* I'm not concerned about a system you test with.  MaLa on a cab, vote it.  MaLa frequently played on a PC, vote it.  I want to know what size you actually enjoy MaLa on.

This will help me, and hopefully others, make more layouts that more of you can use.

Thx,
system

This pool could been defensively been posted under softwareforum  for any frontend users (Which aspect ratios do you use when using your frontend?), since this is a very good general question....

My work machine use 16:9 and my arcade machine have a 5:4 LCD monitor, so.....


Just a idea, should this post moved to software forum?

I'm fine with that.  There would be a much better census with that big of crowd, too.

Can loadman move these up?  Should I ask a mod from Software?  I could just start a whole new poll and point this one to there.

I could move it but I think it would be good to have a seperate MaLa one too  ;)

I think pool about this one should been closed, since it never good to have two post about the same question. Since I doesn't use MALA (due I of course use my own MultiFE), I have vote in the software forum instead, but I like this question.

Howover the original post could do for othe FE and point to this one for users for MALA.

Now that I have both polls side-by-side, this one does seem rather redundant.  I am locking the voting on this one.  I'll leave it up to loadman if he wants to remove it.  A MaLa poll should show a similar result to an "all FEs" poll anyway.  MaLa - or any other FE - does nothing special in the screen-size department.

Again, vote in the software forum:
