"Centering" settings under display not saving WinUAE 1.5

illy5603 · 13 July 2008, 20:04

Hello,

I am running windows XP on my iMac which is native 1920X1200 so I am having to really go at the filter settings to get a screen that is not distorted but is centered and will display all of the game correctly.

I have actually found the settings I need, but the problem is when I uncheck horizontal and vertical centering from the display menu, save my hardware, configuration and host settings, every time I restart WinUAE and load these settings the centering buttons are again ticked.

FYI: When they are ticked a good amount of pixels end up missing on the left side of the screen. When not set the filtering takes care of the centering and everything is fine. I just can't get the settings to stick. All other settings are saving fine.

Ok, I got to to where when I load my profile the centering is not checked and everything is fine. Now my only problem is in Lemon Amiga when I select that custom configuration the centering is still checked. The "Auto Load" option for this configuration is grayed out as well in Winuae.

Ok success! My problem was not saving the changes to the full screen hosts configuration. For some reason I thought you needed to make new hosts not just modify the three that exist. I now have perfectly centered pixel perfect settings for my Lemon Amiga! woot!

One last note to anyone else trying to run WinUAE on a Windows XP bootcamp partition of a new aluminum iMac. Trash the Apple supplied video driver and go to ATI and grab THEIR bootcamp driver. It has an option to "Keep Aspect Ratio" in their control panel which makes to where you don't have to use the filter in WinUAE to show 800X600 games in the correct aspect ratio.
