is it possible to disable the bottom lines?

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 2:56 am

the bottom 2 or so lines show feed of data not normally seen on a TV... im aware this was shown due to people's request but is there an option i overlooked to disable them as they make some games feel weird... like megaman x 3 has a constant yellow band at the bottom that is weird...

Live with it.

Wrong. It was shown depending your TV. Some NTSC sets did, some didn't.
And more than 90% of PAL tvs show that line.

Would this boarder be considered the same as the ones within chronotrigger? I though there was gonna be a option for displaying or not displaying those in the future. I still play on the snes9x psp hacked one for pc when playing chrono trigger just because thos borders bug the shit out of me.

What border? CT doesn't have borders. If you're thinking FF3/6 or something, that's intentional by design.

Use NTSC filter, it cuts off 2 lines.

but HQ4x @ 1280x960 60hz looks better

i take it that its too complex a task to make it a option?

It's not hard, it's just wrong.

Put a piece of paper over your screen and cover up the two lines.

then id see white and id have to put sticky tape on my monitor....

id rather it not show but if it HAS to show then ok don't worry about it go ahead ignore me.... and no i wont program an option in myself due to my lack of knowledge in the field of programming

Eh, if I were skilled enough with C I'd do it myself... but then if I recall the actual emulation is done in asm, whoops.

An option would be pretty nice though. I mean, it falls under the same spectrum as filters, changing audio interpolation, lowpass filters... etc. Neat extras.

Scroll the image down a bit using the monitor options? *shrug*

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 10:07 am

that would affect anything using the same refresh rate, resolution and colour depth.

blackmyst · Post by **blackmyst** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 11:25 am

Soooo...are chances great that you'll use that exact combination of resolution and refresh rate elsewhere? I mean, I use 60hz and that's barely used for anything else.

You're forgetting that you're assuming -S for that to even work out appreciably. Unless you're seriously suggesting that the top half of the screen be one rather sizeable black bar.

I'd like to take a moment to suggest that you all...

Shut. The. Fuck. UP.

The SNES's native resolution is 256x224, not 256x223.

Do. Not. Whine. About. Accuracy.

what? i use 1280x960 DS with that 4:3 option ticked... isn't 1280x960 a 4:3 resolution?

Yeah, he seems to think anyone still uses R modes for some reason. :p

Anyhow. What about window modes, then? Doesn't damage the point either way. I'm simply pointing out that blackmyst's solution is unquestionably suboptimal.

Further, out of curiosity I checked the filters... the line doesn't vanish in at least DR.

I find it hilarious that this topic was going pretty smoothly until he came in and decided to act retarded.
