zinc , aspect ratio of vertical games
« on: July 26, 2005, 03:50:07 pm »
Hi,

I am running a horiz monitor and zinc, however a couple vertical games on zinc do not switch to the correct aspect ratio but rather a stretched and distorted full screen. I want the correct ratio with bars left and right of the screen, however there is no setting in aldos Zincgui to do this -anyone have any suggestions?

I would like to know also.   I never got it working myself.  I use mame for those games, and my cab computer doesn't hack it in mame.

I use zinc, but I don't have answer for you. I'm not too familair with those particular games, but are you sure they are vertical?  Just because it's a vertical shooter doesn't mean the monitor was mounted vertically.  The later 19xx games are a prime example.

Having this same problem.  using the opengl renderer.znc file and a cfg file that sets x to 600 and y to 800 for brave blade, but the best i can get is the game screen on the left hand side of the screen... need to put that in the middle of the screen but can't figure out how!
