Hi, how do you do guys?
I have a question about Nestopia fullscreen mode: why are there black borders on top and bottom of the screen in fullscreen mode? Shouldn't it scale the image as much as possible to fill the screen vertically while still keeping the TV aspect ratio? I have tested fullscreen mode with different resolutions, and unfortunately top and bottom black borders appears in all of them. Is it trying to maintain an even multiple of the original resolution? And if it's true, how can I disable it? I (we) can do this practically on famous emulators for other systems (ZSNES, Snes9x, Fusion). I mean scaling the image as much as possible to fill the screen vertically in fullscreen mode and still keep the 4:3 aspect ration on our 16:9 monitors. But, I can't do it in Nestopia.
I also have checked "TV Aspect" under "View --> Screen Size" (well, it's unrelated to this matter really, just wanted to let you know I've tried every option I can see in Nestopia)
Oh, BTW, it's not the first place I'm asking this. I went to Nestopia page on sourceforge and clicked on "Forum", but it's down ATM and I can't access it. I also went to emuforums and asked there, a friend was kind enough to suggest a solution, but I don't think that's what I'm looking for. The suggestion was to adjust the four boxes in "Options --> Video" to eliminate the black borders, I did do that and the result was not what I wanted. It also cut off the top and bottom image along the borders.
So, I'm lost here. Can someone suggest a better solution? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I went and download Jnes to see if it can do what I want and voila. It did scale the image as much as possible vertically while keeping the IMAGE aspect ratio in fullscreen. It's good, but there is another problem, there is no option in it to set the aspect ratio to TV (4:3). It'll display the original aspect ratio of the IMAGE (system) which was 8:7(?). LOL. There's only option of "Stretch to fill the entire screen" which is good for 4:3 monitors, but it'll look very bad on 16:9 monitors.
