Ask that to Bart.
This one's are for windows, and you need Emuloader to make it run nicely.

[JackoHedge]

Nice nice nice

[rad_killer]

The fix of VF3 deserves for an official build! Many thanks!!!

[Bart]

The texture mapping problem plaguing three of the levels (Lau's, Pai's, and Akira's) hasn't yet been solved. If I can find some time, I'd like to look into that further.

[Joaquim Gonçalves]

The Old Man's Head is laughable.
Not possible to fix the widescreen as well?
Even the replay black bars?
Not possible to make playable Magical Truck Adventure?
A wish to try it.

[Bart]

What's wrong with wide screen mode?

What's wrong with wide screen mode?

Hy Bart, long time since I posted here

Widescreen works only with geometry, in the case of the background (clouds, sky etc ...) that seens to be a kind of image bmp or something like that, we have this problem with the bg´s that will not be drawn on the left and right sides.

This issue happens only with games that dont have a skybox done with polygons meches. In the VF3, the bg´s seens to use this kind of aproach using images, or a texture with a fixed aspect ratio.

On the model 2 emu, to get around with this same problem with bmp bg´s tilemaps, elsemi put an option that stretches the bg TileMap using independent settings for each game. In this case, each game has a .lua script file that can be edited.

Daytona USA example:

Code: Select all

Model2_SetStretchBLow(1)   -- Stretch the bg tilemap (sky & clouds) when widescreen

[Bart]

Ah, yes. ElSemi's solution is more complicated than just a per-game setting. The Lua scripts are used to observe the game state and then determine the stretching behavior accordingly. For example, one stretch mode may be used in-game and another for menu sequences. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for each game. If someone would like to add scripting to Supermodel, feel free -- it's an open source project My preference would be something like JavaScript or Python over Lua, provided they perform adequately. But I unfortunately have no plan of doing this myself. Time is too limited as it is. I haven't touched Supermodel since the last SVN commit.
