vertical tempest with arcadevga?
« on: October 13, 2004, 07:31:51 pm »
tempest is recorded as being a vertical game - so i put "ror 1" in its ini file

when it plays there is obviously detail missing off the edges of the screen.

then when playing there is a strange panning affect with the screen that displays the off screen detail.

is this something to do with the resolution that is being chosen by the avga?

i do not specify a resolution in the ini file

is there a specific resolution that i should use to display tempest perfectly in vertical orientation?

not i also see the display panning affect when playing Star Wars - not sure if this is same issue. maybe related to resolution chosen for vector games?
