Meka needs "Stretch (keep aspect ratio)" option
Post Posted: Wed May 31, 2006 11:42 pm
I have a widescreen monitor, and my options are to stretch the picture across the whole screen, thus stretching it horizontaly, or play in a little tiny window. I can't find any options to mantain aspect ratio, so if they *do* exist, they need to be easier to find.

If your monitor supports non-stretched 4:3 resolutions (eg. 320x240) you can use that. There might be a button or menu that toggles between stretching them wide or aspect-ratio'd.

However, it'd make sense for the stretch mode to maintain aspect ratio - whether for square pixels or for squashed pixels (like Kega, matching the TV).

Slightly tangentially, Meka ships by default with the HQ2X blitter set to stretch mode - which destroys the point of it, it should be run unstretched at 512x384 or 640x480 for best results.

Thanks for the input, I will implement locking of resolution to the SMS aspect ratio.
