My TV is a awesome Samsung Model 6 46" with a 30$ bluray player. blacks are black, whites are white ^_^ but terrible screen lag when playing the SNES... no lag at all when playing the Gamecube, (but appearance is terrible due to composite cable) PS2 or Wii.

I wouldn't mind the SNES if there wasn't a 0.4 seconds delay between what I do and what appears :/

that sounds an aweful lot like not the same, but I could be wrong.
Not all modern LCD widescreen monitors are 16:10. the vast majority, yes, but not all.

Frankly, this whole issue wouldn't be a problem if the fucking HDTV people had chosen a damn 16:10 resolution in the first place...

or a 21:9 cinema Aspect Ratio screen :)

http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/20/phil ... ease-date/

no, it does make sense for computer monitors to be less wide, and televisions to be more wide, so it is not a bad thing, it does make sense.

monitors are gonna stay 16:10 and tvs are gonna stay 16:9 at least.

16:9 is not actually a bad idea for a rotatable screen. More monitors should be an an axis that can rotate to horizontal or vertical orientations.

take a devise like the iPhone as an example, vertical for web pages or vertical shooters, horizontal for movies and side scrollers. etc.

I want an even wider 24:9 screen,so I can run two 4:3 emulator / game windows side-by-side.It's a great replacement for dual-head.

24:9 FTW :D

I think computer displays went widescreen well before the HDTV standard was finalized. Now that 16:9 content exists and is becoming more abundant, there's a push for screens that can display it without bars or funny scaling.

New WIP.

I added FirebrandX's controller image (let me know if you don't have the WIP link and want to check it out, FB.)

I also added Derrick's SVG logo for now. The contest thing isn't over yet, and I like DMM's the best so far (sans the aliasing issues.) But the auto-resizing to exactly what I want is too nice to pass up. I think I'm going to require SVG for the final submission at this point.
Side note: Qt supports SVG for auto-scaling, but I use a PNG anyway as not all Qt libs are going to have SVG support built-in. I still want SVG for website / print purposes.

For belegdol, I added SDL hat support. It only works with the first hat, as I figured those four-controller-as-one-device cheapass drivers might not work well if every single players' hat manipulates the same controller. You'll have to let me know how it works, since SDL doesn't detect my joypad's hats.

I'd also like it if someone could test the X-Video RGB support. Anyone with an RGB overlay surface can do so just by selecting the Xv driver.

Considering that the HDTV standard was finalized in the mid '90s... I'd say no.

Note, that article's layout is lame so I can't just link to a single section. It talks about the finalizing across three short sections. -_-

this is where projectors come into play :D

and yes, I'll take the appartment also. Still, you can't beat the brightness of monitor screens, 24:9 it is, cheers.

My CRT squishes at 1280x960, but not at 1280x1024, how bad is that? Horizontal size (0..100) at 100 leaves black borders.

there are CRT monitors with OSD setups too, still I haven't seen or encountered one that couldn't stretch an image properly except a really, really, ancient one.

I don't see the control graphic, where did you hide it? (winXP sp3)

Why do they call it 21:9? Does it sound more impressive than 7:3? :roll:
(to be fair, I could say the same thing about 16:10, which should be 8:5.. but in that case there's the 16:9 aspect ratio to compare it to)

Okay, new theory: computer widescreen was introduced before it was readily apparent that HDTV was the future of the market and not some niche product for rich people with barely any content to speak of.

Thanks for letting us know about that particular requirement beforehand. :/

is that for real? WTF? I guess for window management instead of having 2 monitors? still, jeez, at least the 21:9 was for watching blur rays, many of which are that ratio. Nice find, just for the crazyness of it. Do you have a link? or are you just bullshiting me.

they did it for the same reason, to be comparable to other x:9 ratios.

I'm guessing not. The Samsung logo and whatever that is in the lower left of the picture both look stretched to me. Hard to say for certain, but I think he just doubled the width of the image. Halving it makes it look very similar to my bog-standard 16:10 LCD.

figured, that actually would make sense for a video game come to think of it, having insanely panoramic view might be kind of odd though.

Anyways, back on topic, testing the WIP now byuu.

The hat support still needs some work:
1. All hat directions can be assigned in gui, but the resulting entry has the same name as if it were an axis.
2. In game, only "up" direction works when pressed on the hat, others work with axes (even though the set up was done using the hat). This might be related to 1.

Dammit, that's what I get for typing when I've only had 3 hours of sleep within 36 hours. I meant 1280x960.
