bluelight Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Hi everyone, I have Fix it Felix Jr. on my main menu wheel as an executable and am using the I Fixed It Felix wrapper if anyone is familiar which allows you to adjust the settings and keys.\ I am able to launch the game just fine from windows but when I launch it through hypespin, the game screen is either too small or too large depending on my settings within the wrapper itself. I have adjusted ALL settings and combos but it makes no difference when launching in Hyperspin. I have also made a batch file to launch it and that doesn't help either. The creator of the wrapper said he doesnt know why and suggested I post here cause he doesnt use hyperspin. My monitor is 1680x1050 but he says the resolution shouldnt matter. Not sure what hyperspin is doing that is causing this issue to happen but even while running hyperspin, if I task out of it while its running and launch the game manually it has the same issue.. but when I exit hyperspin it launches fine again. Hope someone can help me with this.. Thx
JoyStickKilla Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 If I launch it horizontal then the screen is always super small in the bezel. I have to launch it vertically to make it fill the screen.

I have to launch it vertically to make it fill the screen. Hmm.. my monitor is horizontal though. Is there some way I can do this and have it still work for my situation?
THK Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Have you called Felix yet? He's supposed to be good at fixing things..... ..........................back with a vengeance........................
bluelight Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 Have you called Felix yet? He's supposed to be good at fixing things..... Not very helpful from a moderator. But I did call the creator of the wrapper so in a way, yes. He sent me here.

Not sure what this wrapper is you have, if it is different from the files you can normally "find" in a download of the game. Can you post a screenshot of the folder? Do you have issues outside of HS? And are you launching it directly or via RL with the pc launcher module
gigapig Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Hi everyone, I have Fix it Felix Jr. on my main menu wheel as an executable Have you tried another method like added it to a PC Games wheel for example and using RocketLauncher? It may by having it as an exe and just using HS to launch it that is causing the trouble.

And are you launching it directly or via RL with the pc launcher module The wrapper is the one gigapig uses on his youtube channel. Got it from him. Also, I have tried launching it directly and from the mame wheel using PClauncher.. both do the same thing. The problem only exists within Hyperspin, launching in windows it totally fine.

I am noticing though that it seems the problem happens more without a bezel enabled. It seems WITH a bezel enabled, some of the controls actually respond differently for zoom and such. I am currently experimenting. If I can get a bezel that will allow the screen to fit correctly, the bezel will be cut off on the sides of the screeen.. however, I can then make a black bezel that will be the same as not having one to keep the screen working right. I'll let you know.
bluelight Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Ok so currently, these are my settings that I am using and getting a very intermediate good result. windowed mode, with a 1920x1080 bezel enabled, 100% zoom, .95 bezel zoom, 300ms delay. These settings can produce a decent sized gameplay window, however it is a little off center vertically (there is more black at the top of the screen than at the bottom.) Weird thing about this is.. it only works sometimes. I can launch the game maybe 3 times over with this good result, then the 4th time it will be small again.. a few more times of launching will give small window, then maybe 2 times I get a good window, then back to small again. It's weird as hell. I don't get it..
bluelight Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Just to clarify further.. it seems that with full screen enabled, the game screen size is always just too small when launching from HS. It is with full screen unchecked that the intermittent result is happening. Nevermind on this, it actually is still intermittent even with full screen.
gigapig Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Here is a bezel I converted for your screen size. there is one for RocketLauncher with an ini file (which I don't think you need but it won't hurt to keep it) and the other is to go in the the root of the game folder. You will need to rename it bezel.jpg but I would recommend using the RL bezel if you are launching the game with RL. Here are my settings btw. Fix it Felix Jr.zip

Image 1.jpg Fix it Felix Jr.zip This fixes the bezel.. thanks. Unfortunately the intermittent screen size issues remain, even with your settings. I haven't tried the rocketlauncher bezel yet I will try that later for SAG but let me ask you this... I noticed if turn on 90 degree rotation, the game screen fills my monitor perfectly vertically, which of course is useless to me since my monitor is horizontal but as someone said earlier here, it seems to work perfectly that way each time. I am not sure what exactly this wrapper is doing behind the scenes as far as resizing the screen, but I wonder if there is a way to run this wrapper with 90 degree rotation turned on, but have some other external parameter trigger that would turn the screen counter clockwise 90 degrees. For some reason, as convoluted as it sounds, it seems like it could work to me. But I would not know how to go about doing this. I have heard of people using AHK scripts for this game but that is over my head. I am going to end up doing this all on a different computer at a later date (it will be the same monitor though) so maybe on the other PC I may not have this issue.. I have no idea what it is thats causing it to know. Tomorrow I will also be replacing THIS monitor with a normal 1080p one so I will see if that has any effect although I dont think it will. It seems to be something in the operations that are happening at launch that sizes the window. Sometimes, it even appears off center horizontally.
JoyStickKilla Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah I was never able to get the game to run consistent in horizontal. Kept going super small on me.
bluelight Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah I was never able to get the game to run consistent in horizontal. Kept going super small on me. Yeah it's weird why that is happening to you and I, but it works fine for Gigapig and I guess others. I'm gonna have to contact the author and see if he will get a little more in detail with me.
barakawins Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 I'm having this same problem. Followed Gigapig's instructions. I get the game to come up on my 25" horizontal monitor fine. But, the resolutions of 30%, 50%, 100%, 200% don't work. The game is squished. I don' t have bezels in my folder which I thought may have been crushing the screen. I just can't get it to expand and fit properly. I wonder if there's some type of AHK file out there where you can set the screen resolution size.
Metalzoic Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 I set this game up about 3 days ago and initially ran into the same problem. Spent about 20 minutes trying different settings and found the right ones to make it work perfectly. Nothing special is needed other than the settings the game comes with. I'll post them when I get home later.
Metalzoic Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Still finishing my coffee so I took a minute to fire up the cab. Here's my settings. They're a bit different than Gigas, but the game seems to work and display perfectly in 3:4 that fills the screen from top to bottom (other than the bezel being narrow for a 16:9 monitor). I seem to remember really stretching out the resize time is what made the difference.
barakawins Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Thanks for the response. I'm just not getting the resolution to go wider. The entire screen fits properly from top to bottom but it's narrow. Should look like donkey kong width wise. It's just not doing it. I tried your config but there's no change. Is there a way to put some kind of command in pc launcher to adjust the screen width and height?
gigapig Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Do you not need full screen checked? I would love to see a screen shot.
barakawins Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Ok.. So, here' s a better break down of what happening. I'm running; 25" Horizontal Monitor (neotec) - Arcade legends machine ArcadeVGA card installed Mame setup installed and running no problem Followed Gigapig's guide to set up Fix it Felix through PCLauncher and mame. (perfect guide) With the wrapper program that came with the files I can change my settings any way I want but it will not rotate vertically on this monitor for some reason. If I don't check off full screen, it will get cut off and the score at the top of the screen gets cut off. My best options are: 200%, full screen and video timing at 150. No matter what I do to change any of these numbers, I don't get a good result. I have no bezels installed. As you could see by the attached pic, all I need is for the game width to be wider and it would run perfectly. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks ahead for the help.
barakawins Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Here's a pic.. Sorry it's sideways. As you could see it's just narrow but full screen.
Metalzoic Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Ah... I didn't realize you were trying to run the game sideways. Is that a cocktail cab or something or do you just want to rotate your monitor? EDIT: Just realized it's just your pic that is sideways and your cab is a standup horizontal. No idea why yours is extra narrow. Mine seems to run in standard 3:4 (Donkey Kong, Pac-man etc...) just right. Have you tried it with the bezels? Both mine and Gigas settings are with bezels on.
gigapig Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Here are my settings but I am using a bezel which RocketLauncher deals with not the wrapper and unfortunately I'm getting a "RLDLL Splitpath" error so I can't test it. That has been reported so I'll just have to wait.
