ARCADE VGA on horizontal monitor playing vertical games help
« on: September 19, 2011, 04:09:32 pm »
First of...WOW

can't quite get my head around why i didn't get a arcadevga sooner! it looks 100% better on my horizontal games!

my prob is with vertical games.....

it looks like it trys to display them at native res... which is great..... but not on a horizontal screen... pacman, galaxian etc etc. 194x just goes out of range :(

also my bios screen looks discoloured..... after that everything is great... no other colour probs.....

see screenshots thx.

pac man

That would explain why Pacman is cut off (it needs 288 lines).
