FS-UAE Viewports
Hi there.
FS-UAE does a wonderful job with size and auto centering. :great But, sometimes with the amiga specific way of handling video it doesn't work. :crying Here comes the viewport directive. It can do a wonderful job ! I didn't find a topic for sharing viewports, which can be tricky (maybe I missed it). For example here what I wrote for Venus - The flytrap Code:
viewport = * * 724 464 => 74 36 640 512, * * 724 384 => 84 30 640 512, * * 724 512 => 74 36 640 512, * * * 384 => 74 36 640 512, * * * 510 => 106 36 616 500, * * * 500 => 104 36 620 500, 74 36 * * => 74 36 640 512, * * * * => 104 34 616 480 Code:
viewport = * * 662 400 => 26 25 688 512, * * 662 384 => 31 12 714 526, * * 662 502 => 74 36 640 512, * * 640 400 => * * 640 400, * * 682 464 => 59 39 672 403, * * 662 440 => 74 74 641 415 Code:

Great suggestion! Nice to see some contribution to this (not so popular) feature.
So far I was just updating and giving info on the Discord server/channel AmigaLive/bug-reports.. its nice to confirm that I have been using similar viewports as you are :-) Here are my finds: Code:

P.S. copying these details to the FS-UAE Discord :-)

I'll sure test a lot of them (the toki one seems a lot of work). |
I just tried your "Pang WHD" and, as expected, it works real nice on the IPF version. :great

Dynablaster
viewport = 74 36 640 512 => * * * *, 136 20 512 420 => 138 20 510 432, 136 20 512 432 => 138 20 510 432, 74 36 640 480 => 136 20 640 432, * 44 * 384 => 136 * 512 *, * * * * => 136 4 512 464 This one had a lot of transitions and took me a while to correct/find them all. * * * * => 136 4 512 464 being the most important (in-game battle mode) (74 36 640 512 => * * * * corrects the Workbench WHDload splash Screen and can be removed) |
Bubble Bobble
viewport = * * * * => 74 52 640 400 Normally the auto zoom would have been OK, but I found that the explosion that causes a screen treble messes everything up so the viewport adjustment is required to gain the screen back to normal. |
Marathon
viewport = 74 88 640 484 => * 34 * 516 The game is unplayable without the viewport adjustment |
I tried many of your viewports and some are just great : Dynablaster, Rygar, Alien Breed, Chaos Engine 2...
Im so glad you shared them. Thanks ! But I wonder why certain title have viewports : for example Rick(s) Dangerous, Tiny Bubble, Wings Of Fury and Micromachines are fine with zoom=auto, aren't they ? :confused Do you remember why you did them ? |
Rick Dangerous series and Wings of Fury had too much blackness around the screen and since I need them to look neat when streaming I tend to fix them to be better with getting as much of the playfield as I can without any black areas around (if I assume its not necessary).. not sure about the other games, but some screen transitions or explosions tend to get the screen out of wack or look bad.

Dynablaster - Corrected the "Loading" screen viewport which was off by using 74 20 640 432 => 154 20 512 432
so the full viewport adjustment string is now the following: viewport = 74 36 640 512 => * * * *, 74 20 640 432 => 154 20 512 432, 136 20 512 420 => 138 20 510 432, 136 20 512 432 => 138 20 510 432, 74 36 640 480 => 136 20 640 432, * 44 * 384 => 136 * 512 *, * * * * => 136 4 512 464 I think its best to share a spread-sheet file and with our combined forces we can be able to modify and correct stuff with details. what do you think? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing |

The link could also be shared with read-only (to abvoid griefing) on Frohde Solheim's FS-UAE Website... I think viewport is a not well known and great feature of FS-UAE. Maybe it requires too much investment ? So the more it's shared... the better for FS-UAE users ! Sometimes, though, I only use the zoom parameter to avoid screen quick changes (it's easier than viewport). If you want, I may also share my zoom settings. |
its currently read-only up to a certain row. let me know if you want to have full access, I think there is a button or something to request full permissions
or send me your e-mail in private and I will add you as an editor |
Just found this thread. Sorry for my noob question, but I'm totally new to this. Is it possible to add viewports on a "per game basis" via command line for each game affected in FS-UAE? And what else is necessary? Do I have to change a specific option first to get it working? THANKS for your help!
