Aspect ratio of the 2D layers

SegaLover2020: While you wait for this to get properly implemented

I wanna thank you for this tweak and the devs for making it an official option.
Virtua striker has a full background now and doesn't look like somebody put the wrong cardboard skyline behind the stadium

Bart,is there a sign of hope to fix this aspect ratio and put it In the future builds?

Again, you don’t have to edit anything. It’s already in the build! Just enable wide screen and wide background. Read the command line help.

That sega Model 3 UI fixed all the model 3 games to run in Widescreen and fixed , i have to do specific settings for certain games like set powerpc to 100 for sega rally 2 to run without glitches, i have to alt n and alt r star wars trilogy each time i play it at startup, and i switch to legacy engine to play virtual on 2 but aside from that i can play every game at 4096x2160 resolution , thats what i currently have it set to on my gtx 1080 4930k system on a 55 inch 4k television , i believe the maker of this UI also made the sega model 2 UI that fixes the widescreen issues to run in max resolutions on it as well , note to use it i would only use windows 7 vista or xp because windows 10 will delete some of the UI files as it thinks its a virus lol

It doesn't delete on its own bro! Just tell to Defender not to worry about these!

Why are you using Legacy engine for von2?

Apologies for posting in the dev board. I know we're not supposed to but I have a question related to this thread.
Can I fiddle the code to add an extra condition to the 'stretchBottom' bool to try and make it a tiny bit more intelligent ?

Logic would be something like,

stretchBottom = "WideBackground" && isBottom && 3D stuff being drawn

I'd like to see if it would clean up scenes like this.

My thinking is, you only really need a wide background to fill the gaps the wider 3d creates. If there is no 3d then the wide bg isn't needed.
Although I guess it may cause more problems than it solves for some games.

I take it this is the code doing the magic ?

Code: Select all

bool stretchBottom = m_config["WideBackground"].ValueAs<bool>() && isBottom;

Is it even possible to achieve this ? How would I change it ?
