Suitable resolution for CD32 emulation in windowed mode?

[andreas]

Hi,

I'm still looking for a suitable resolution that I can use for the CD32 emulation in WinUAE.
As I spoke with Bernd Schmidt about this centering issue, he told me that the horizontal centering is not intended to be used in 800x600 mode. Now then. I've never known about that until now, and I've always complained about this ugly stripe at the right side of the screen. But a screen off-center isn't cool, either, so...

Back on topic. Unlike in "normal Amiga" mode, 640x480 is too little and 768x576 is too much!
768x576 (a.k.a. Overscan mode) makes a perfect playing screen, though. BUT you can't center your screen, unless you can live with your special friend, the stripe. I can't, 'cause this thing annoys me like hell, and Bernd doesn't intend to fix it for modes higher than 640 ... something.
Developers...

So is there any resolution you can use in CD32 mode except the ones I mentioned that fits perfectly and doesn't cut off anything?

Would 640x512 solve your problem? If you have a nVidia card you can make your custom screenmode by modifying the drivers, it doesn't have to be 640x512, it just have to be something that your monitor can display properly.

640x512 is fine, yes, but then it's "not anymore an Amiga"!
What works too, is to set 640x480 and check the "correct aspect" box. This is more like the original Amiga feeling, even though you are in windowed mode.
This works VERY well. :thumbs_up

NOW...look at that screenshot. That's CD32 booting up in 640x480 mode, no matter if correct aspect is checked or not.
Nevertheless, this has turned out to be a very good config so I post it here.

Well, GAMES DO WORK with this config, but the boot intro doesn't. I don't know why this needs a larger screen, but I think Toni might know it.
