MUGEN Full Screen Aspect Ratio

[gooch]

MUGEN has a 4:3 aspect ratio and when played on by my 16:9 widescreen the image appears stretched. I was wondering if there was a way to lock the correct aspect ratio - In other words, I want the black bars that MAME uses.

I forgot to mention that I'd also like to have the black bars for Daphne as well.

Optional: Changing window size

A new feature in M.U.G.E.N. 1.0 is the ability to stretch the screen to fit high-definition monitors. Some of you may still have old-school CRT monitors and the screen will likely stretch out of the screen. To fix this, look for the mugen.cfg file, located in mugen\data. Open it in Notepad and look for the following block of text:

;Game native width and height.

;Recommended settings are:

; 640x480 Standard definition 4:3

; 1280x720 High definition 16:9

; 1920x1080 Full HD 16:9

GameWidth = 800

GameHeight = 600

Simply change GameWidth and GameHeight to a screen size you are comfortable with.

Thank you. I tried changing it to 1280x720 but it had no effect - still no black bars. I will have to keep trying. Do you have any other suggestions? I'm using hardware DirectX to make it full screen.

Try to change it to

GameWidth = 800

GameHeight = 600

or even

GameWidth = 640

GameHeight = 480

I have tried both of those unsuccessfully as well.

You may want to look into MUGEN 1.1 beta 1's options:

on Daphne go to hyperspin/hyperlaunch/modules/daphne and open the config setting and edit the "globalparams" line to -fullscreen_window instead of -fullscreen

and change to -x 640 -y 480 then you will get the black bars with the 4:3 ratio video inside
