Megaball Screen Issues

DocFlareon · 15 October 2021, 04:11

Megaball 3 and 4 have a problem, and I can't find the fix. The game screen is shifted to the right, partially out of view. It's kinda hard to play a game when a sixth of the playfield is out of view. I've included a screencap.

Issue found and fixed! If the DblNTSC(PAL) screen modes are enabled, Megaball chooses one of them. The DblNTSC screen mode is shifted to the right, causing part of it to fall outside of the emulator's window. If DblNTSC(PAL) are disabled, then Megaball works as expected.

DocFlareon: Did you fix this by setting the MODEID flag on the icon?

Love that game, had some great music, fun and addictive and OS friendly

It might be the Mode Promotion setting in IControl prefs. I think Megaball respects that.

The other solution here might be Overscan prefs to make sure DblNTSC/DblPAL are centered on the (emulated) screen. Not much point to the having the Dbl modes enabled when using emulation, though. Unless you need the Dbl Laced modes for extra vertical resolution.

Nah, I just shoved the modes back into Storage.
