fumanchu 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.native aspect ratio is the correct display for the game as a lot of these games were stretched out and it was not the true display so=looks like arcade machine.as for your second question yes i have seen games with black bars left and right,on holiday in spain where they had arcade shooters like dodnpachi,super contra.....they should have tated those montitors.
The-Ice-Man Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Cospefogo is concerned with the image itself. Obviously unless your TV's resolution is the same as the game's native resolution, you're going to have black bars unless you stretch to fit. Cospefogo doesn't like to stretch to fit, coz it distorts the image. If you want the game to look exactly like it did in the arcade, you're gonna have to buy an original arcade cabinet of all the games you want.
wicked_dumbo_octobus Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 The CPS2 games for example were widescreen, so their machines had widescreen monitors. Even CPS2 machines had 4:3 monitors. You call that a widescreen?

Obviously it doesn't look like arcade machine with black bars around the gamescreen.

You call that a widescreen?only 3 or 4 cps2 games used 4/3 monitirs dimahoo,19xx...http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=795 when you look at the sheer amount of games available for the arcade hardware then yes i would call that widescreen.
PhilExile Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Anybody have any thoughts on if my idea for a multi CoinOps XBE launcher would work?
fumanchu Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Anybody have any thoughts on if my idea for a multi CoinOps XBE launcher would work? there are other versions of coinops which had been hex-edited by another member which would launch certain games at their set resolution but it wasnt through the one interface.it was all through different verions which had been hex edited like i said,so basically you would have multiple versions of coinops with different saves.

Right, I think that's what is explained in the guide. My idea would be to have an altered CoinOps that would launch those hex-edited XBEs. I think I read that CoinOps is basically a launcher. I could be totally wrong in that regard, but if this is the case, then it may work well. By the way, are those XBEs you mentioned available?
