Hi, I'd really like to see an option allowing me to decide whether the image drawn is going to be stretched or not.
I'll make myself clear: as of now, with version 1.12, whenever you resize the form you get a stretched and therefore distorted image. I wish we, the users, were able to tell the program not to stretch images, filling with blank bands the side which we may have made too big in our manual resizing.
I'm currently using a notebook, whose WXGA (1280x800) presents a very different aspect ratio than 4:3. You can easily figure what happens when I go fullscreen.
I also profit of this post to ask if there's any of you experiencing performance issues while in fullscreen mode.
Thank you.

Now that I think about it, it would be as good to be able to resize the window in a fixed way, that is as you're dragging one of its corner the form keeps its 4:3 aspect ratio.
Both solutions (blank bands and fixed resizing) would work fine.

Go to the configuration menu and tell pSX what the aspect ratio of your screen is.

In full screen mode (press alt-enter) pSX should correct the aspect ratio assuming you haven't turned aspect ratio correction off...
1280x800 is approximately 15:9 (1280x768 would be real 15:9).
Are you really using full screen mode, or just maximising the window?
Also, which OS are you using.

Thank you Sune, your hint helped. I went to graphics configuration and set Aspect Ratio to 1.6 (native res being 1280x800). Now the image isn't stretched when I go full screen.
psX Author Auto mode doesn't work for me, either when I maximize the window or start in fs.
I'm using Windows Vista.

Auto mode has actually been left out of the Linux version, Koroner - and it's quite possible, I suppose, that it may not always work as intended in Windows.

Now the image isn't stretched when I go full screen. psX Author Auto mode doesn't work for me, either when I maximize the window or start in fs. I'm using Windows Vista. Auto mode not working usually indicates that you have your desktop res set to something that is not the native resolution of your display. In Auto mode pSX calculates the aspect ratio of your screen based on the desktop resolution (this is obviously not foolproof because you can set it to anything you like, but it is the only way to automatically determine the aspect ratio in Windows... at least up to XP - I have not looked at the Vista API, its possible they have added a way to get this directly from the monitor by now). Although - it could be something to do with Vista possibly. I don't currently support Vista (I don't have any way of testing it) but it seems to work for the most part. Anyway: the manual aspect ratio setting exists for exactly this situation.. when pSX cannot correctly determine it automatically... |

Author my current resolution is the native one, a 1280x800 WXGA. So I think that this issue is due to Vista, as you eventually point out. And I agree about the manual setting being there for exactly such situations, but I didn't use it since I tought that Auto mode would work fine and that it was your decision to stretch images that way (kind of questionable one, hence my thread  ). |
