dam-soft Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 What are the best screen settings in CoinOPS to make XBOX screen look like arcade machine?

+ T + Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 The games have different resolutions so your best bet is to just stretch the display to fill a 4:3 screen and leave it at that. Most arcade games just filled up a standard 4:3 monitor regardless of the resolution anyway.

With these fancy instructions you can GET RID OF blurry screen, seen on the original arcade/console systems.
The-Ice-Man Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Cospefogo sure does care about his pixel ratios. I just care about fitting the image on my tiny tv screen.
PhilExile Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Just out of curiosity, would it be possible to make a "parent" CoinOps XBE launch that would in turn launch a custom CoinOps XBE for the game resolution? For instance: - CoinOps "parent" XBE is launch, full rom list is shown ect.- You scroll down to, lets say, Bionic Commando and select it- The "parent" CoinOps then tells a separate custom CoinOps 256x224 to launch itself and the rom at the correct resolution- You play your game with the custom resolution- Quitting the game takes you back to the parent "CoinOps" romlist This may be impossible or a lot of work, but I thought I would mention it as it would seem like an ideal way for the emulator to behave for some people. (Like me.) Thanks if you are looking for the best screensizes for emulators on xbox then you could try looking here.http://fancyxbox.info/?doc=1&secao=screen

With fancy instructions you can finally GET RID OF the original blurry and distorted look seen on the original machines.

The-Ice-Man Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) So what's your point? If you want to display games in the aspect ratio they were actually drawn in use Cospefogo's guide. If you don't care, stretch the image to fit your screen. Edit: That's @Dumbo, not you Fu. Edited February 7, 2010 by The-Ice-Man

The-Ice-Man Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Sorry, we posted at the same time nearly. The point about the 4:3 screens in old machines isn't true in a lot of cases anyway. The CPS2 games for example were widescreen, so their machines had widescreen monitors.
wicked_dumbo_octobus Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 it gives you the correct aspect ratio for arcade montors so=looks like arcade machine.It gives you the native aspect ratio with doubled resolution for each game, so = It doesn't look anywhere near as how it looked on the arcade machines. Have you ever seen arcade game with black bars usually left/right. I haven't.
