Full Screen...... PLease!!

Post by Omarrr »

Hey I recently got a ZSNES and it works great....except I can get it to go to full screen. I've gone to Config > Video> and tried almost every other larger option and it just reverts back to the small screen.
I run windows XP on a Dell lap top with 1024 x 768 screen. I currently have my screen resolution to 16-bit b/c the only other option is 24.

Thanks for your help!! :)

i second this. i made a thread about this earlier as well. ZSNES doesnt really offer true full screen. (It doesnt stretch corner to corner)

if you want it to use all of your monitor, set it to an -S video mode instead of -R
that is, of course, if you can stand the distorted aspect ratio

Technically full screen IS the correct aspect ratio if you are using a 4:3 monitor.

sure it is, but it still has a black border, which means the full screen is not being used, even though its the correct ratio. I would have figured a stretch to fullscreen would have been implemented by now.

There was, at least I recall there was, but that streching messed the correct ratio, so, when you are looking for the nearest state of likeness with the real thing... Well, it was decided to have it that way.
