Not getting Widescreen on Model 2 Emulator games

[ark216]

Dear All,
I apologize for posting a question related to Model 2 Emulator on Model 3 forums.Question is that i am unable to run any of the model 2 games in a widescreen format despite accessing the emulator.ini file and setting widescreen window=1 (1 is for 16:9), also accessed a .lua file in the scripts folder (daytona.lua in this case) and set these parameters: Model2_SetStretchBLow(1) and Model2_SetWideScreen(1).Despite all efforts i have been unsuccessful.Is there anything i have missed out?

Thanks

Bump! Help anyone?

You also need your widescreen resolution defined in
FullScreenWidth=
FullScreenHeight=

I did that already but still no luck. Here is my emulator.exe settings:

;Configuration file for the SEGA Model 2 emulator
;All text to the right of ; is ignored (use as comments)


;Add your rom directories here (max 10)
;ROMS subdirectory in the same folder than the exe is always scanned when searching for roms
;(remove the ; form Dir1)

Trilinear=0 ;Enables mipmap usage and trilinear filtering (doesn't work with some games, DoA for example)

From the emulator window in the videos tab i selected Custom (Set in .ini). Do the .lua in the scripts folder need any settings for widecsreen? In my daytona.lua it's already set to Model2_SetStretchBlow(1) and Model2_SetWideScreen(1).

[Shekel]

OK, 2 more things. Have you set..
Video > Fullscreen Resolution > Custom (Set in .ini) ?

And your script might be missing something. Does it have more than the 2 settings you posted in it?

I'll paste mine for daytona. I don't know where I got it from.

Daytona.lua

Code: Select all

require("model2");   -- Import
model2 machine globals

function Init()
   
end

function Frame()
   local gameState = I960_ReadByte(0x5010A4)

   if   gameState==0x16   -- Ingame
     or gameState==0x03   -- Attract ini
     or gameState==0x04   -- Attract Higscore ini
     or gameState==0x05   -- Attract Highscore
     or gameState==0x06   -- Attract VR Ini
     or gameState==0x07   -- Attract VR
   then
       Model2_SetStretchBLow(1)   -- Stretch the bg tilemap (sky & clouds) when widescreen
      Model2_SetWideScreen(1)
   else               -- No widescreen on the rest of the screens
       Model2_SetStretchBLow(0)
      Model2_SetWideScreen(0)
   end

end

Yeah as i mentioned i did select Fullscreen>Custom Resolution (in .ini) ( i am using 2560×1440 res).My .lua file appears to be the same as yours,however i will use your's .lua file instead to see any changes and let you know. Also another thing to note that i have just a few model 2 games, but the .lua files i have are only daytona.lua and common.lua.

[Shekel]

Got it, you need model2.lua as well

Code: Select all

require ("common")

ROMBASE      =0x00000000
RAM2BASE   =0x00200000
RAMBASE      =0x00500000
GEOBASE      =0x00800000
COPBASE      =0x00880000
DLISTBASE   =0x00900000
TMAPBASE   =0x01000000
TMAPGFXBASE   =0x01080000
COLORXLAT   =0x01810000
IOBASE      =0x01c00000
BACKUPBASE   =0x01d00000
DATAROMBASE   =0x02000000
XTRADATABASE   =0x06000000
TEX0BASE   =0x11000000
TEX1BASE   =0x11200000
LUMAXLAT   =0x11400000
FRAMEBUFBASE   =0x12c00000

Hi there, i need to add these lines to my daytona.lua or where?

Edit: Just checked i do have the model2.lua file in the "scripts" folder but still no luck......any other clues?

[Shekel]

Hmm, ok.

In your 4th post you had this in your ini

FullScreenWidth=1366
FullScreenHeight=768

Have you tried changing this to other numbers? It's not a 16:9 ratio. 1360x768 is.

I did change those numbers as now i am running the emulator on an another pc the numbers are 2560 × 1440 (1440p). But nothing changes. However i noticed an extremely strange thing today, the first daytona rom (the very first in the model 2 emulator list) is running "the race" in widescreen not the menus and stuff.The reason i don't settle on this version is mainly due glitchy and washed out graphics. The version i prefer is Daytona USA Special Edition, but neither this or other versions (havent tested all) run in widescreen. Even tried "House of the dead" today but it also ran in 4:3
I really don't know what i am missing!
