Not getting Widescreen on Model 2 Emulator games

[SailorSat]

You need a script for every single rom you want to run in "widescreen".
The "daytona.lua" only applies to ONE rom. - Other than that all Daytona versions will look exactly the same.

The most basic script would look like this:

Code: Select all

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

function Frame()
  Model2_SetStretchBLow(1)
  Model2_SetWideScreen(1)
end


Save it as "daytonase.lua" for the special edition to run in widescreen.

Also note: Depending on the game - Like Indy500 oder STCC - choosing "deluxe" cabinet type in the games service menu, you will end with disorted graphics, as these deluxe cabinets did in fact use widescreen monitors and the game changed aspect ratio accordingly

I thought it was obvious that each game needed a script Oh, well.

You said the race runs in widescreen and the menus are in 4:3 - This is normal and what it should look like. Everything 2D will still be 2D.

Holy Moly! The widescreen worked!!! You made my day Sailor Sat and Shekel!!! indeed the .lua was missing for the special edition.Sailor Sat your diagnosis was spot on!
Thank You!!!

One more thing, about the deluxe cabinet you said that i should be selecting the 'deluxe' cabinet or any other version to refrain from graphical glitches?
Also are all .lua files he same? For instance House of the dead is running in 4:3 ratio and i don't have the .lua file for it? Can i use any random .lua file and rename it as hotd.lua (hotd=house of the dead)?
Edit: I just tried renaming any random .lua file and it didn't work.

Glad you got it working, though I didn't write the bit you quoted :D

I never noticed any graphical corruption with the Deluxe setting, but YMMV.

Where to get .lua files for other games? I need wave runner's and house of the dead.

waverunr.lua

Code: Select all

require("model2")

function Init()

end

function Frame()
   local state = I960_ReadByte(0x202098);
   local state2 = I960_ReadByte(0x20209C);
   local state3 = I960_ReadByte(0x2020AC);

   if state==3 and state2==5 and state3==1 then   
      Model2_SetWideScreen(0)
   else
      Model2_SetWideScreen(1)
   end

end

I don't have one for HOTD or know where I got them.

Damn, I don't want mine to run in widescreen. I hate everything being fat. Any suggestions ?
