In most of the games I've tested, the screen centering controls don't respond.
I am starting to suspect that this is by design and not a bug!
I would love to be able to center the PAL games that don't fill up the screen - when using the emulator with TV-out it'll help to eliminate the overscan.

You should use the Hardware to adjust it. Not the game you're emulating.

What screen centring controls are you referring to, Sune?
@truth: some games do include a screen centring facility; I don't think I've ever used this in pSX, but it's certainly worked in other emulators...

Yeah that's what I assumed it was (adjust the center, and stretching of the display in games). I don't remember if I ever tested, but it sounds familiar that it didn't work, so I may have tried a while ago as well, but disregarded it.

I just checked: Wild Arms has an in-game screen centring facility, and it works in pSX. Doesn't do stretching, but it does adjust the position of the picture on the screen - which is what I'd take to mean by 'screen centring.'
Edit: and it can do exactly what Sune wants, centre the picture. As I recall, if you save a game with the centring adjusted, it stays that way when you load it again.

Yes, I mean the screen centering controls that some games have.
In all the games I've tested they don't work at all - except for Super Pang Collection where you can move the image up and down but not left and right. Or was it the other way. Anyway, only one axis works.
The only game I've ever seen that allows you to stretch the image is Raiden Project - and that's not really stretching, just choosing between 3 different sizes. This works fine, but again the game controls to center the display don't work.
Same with Tomb Raider, Silent Hill and so on..

Both axes work in Wild Arms (PAL), Sune. If I spot the facility in any other games I play, I'll give it a try.
Do you have a Playstation - if so, do the centring facilities that don't work in pSX work on that? Or do they work on other emulators?

Just checked Wild Arms 2: that also has a centring facility, and that works in pSX, Sune - both axes.

From what I can remember on the PlayStation, there was 2 kinds of centering. Hardware centering, where the game told the PlayStation's video output to shift. Software centering, where the game just moves the hud and/or screen objects. I maybe wrong but thats what I can remember.

At a guess, Sune, the two games I've tried have software centring and ones you've tried mostly have hardware centring, and pSX Author doesn't (yet?) have this coded into the emulator, or not fully coded.
I wonder if this has any bearing on the fact that games that don't fully occupy the screen often display asymmetrically?
