Fullscreen/Resolution
Hi Everyone,
It has been some time since i used a new WinUAE-Version. Oviously some things have changed - perhaps someone can help me with a problem i'm currently facing. IIRC Winuae allowed the user to set a Fullscreen-Resolution which was actually used when switching to fullscreen - nowadays it seems to scale to windows-resolution. I've tried a new configuration with winuae_2500b19, later winuae_2500b20 - both with the same results: Windowed Mode worked as expected, Fullscreen-Mode looked pretty Ugly (scaled), which didn't happen in the (very) old version i used *some* time ago (Didn't use any Filters back then or now). Additionally the Amiga-Screen didn't fit to the PC-Screen. (see attached Screenshots). Don't think this is a bug - thus no logs attached. Could someone please point me in the right direction? - If needed, i'll provide whatever logs needed. thanks and regards, eCat Last edited by eCat; 17 October 2012 at 22:09. Reason: forgot to mention: Fullscreen-Screenshot uses 1920x1080, however this seems to happen regardless of the fullscreen-resolution |

Thanks for the answer - but the main problem isn't the scaling (which i don't even want to happen at this point), but the picture not fitting the emulated screen. Have a look at the screenshots: while the windowed version is perfect (besides having black bars most likely because of using a non native amiga-resolution), the fullscreen-screenshot displays an incomplete display (top and bottom are missing)
So - scaling would be the thing i'd be thinking about afterwards. As i've written in the initial post: my old configuration (might have ben differenet uae-version, differend gfx-card, different display....) really switched to the chosen resolution e.g. 640x480 - and UAE used the resolution *without* scaling - which was perfect for me. Again: i'm not claiming, that anything's wrong with WinUAE - but I'd be happy if someone could explain. thanks ![]() |

On the filter panel check the scaling setting. It surely changed during the last years and I'd say that you should try 'Null filter' and play with the scaling until you get the result you're used to

Well, you use a 16:9 display. You can't use fill the full screen with a 4:3/5:4 normal Amiga resolution. Black borders left and right are normal. Try Auto Integer Scaling, should give you a full image. You have to scale or zoom anyway since you use a HD LCD display now, with a high native resolution.

Thanks for the answers. Both posts understood
Cyber-Druid: I know that using the "Null-Filter" or "none" (and yes i know even they are technically different) would get me rid of the filters - which isn't the problem. Retro-Nerd: Since i'm not using native amiga Resolutions, i know that i won't be able to get a Screen without black bars while using aspect-correct display. the problem is: *whatever* fullscreen-resolution i use - the screen will be cut at top and bottom. Have a look at the Screenshot attached within this post: this time 640x480 - about 20 lines are missing at the top - and about 20 are missing at the bottom. (and yes: the Screenshot looks even worse - but i guess that's another problem i'm having - the one of the screen being scaled - which i don't even want) Thanks for your answers - didn't expect that fast and competent help ![]() |

You should use a 1920x1080 PC fullscreen resolution only, then scale to fit the screen. It should work fine. All non LCD native resolutions looks ugly and can cause your missing up/down image parts. But then in native HD resolution you have to scale+bilinear filter. Look at my screenshot.

640x480 isn't a native Amiga resolution. I use a windowed WinUAE and avoid all fullscreen problems. For what it's worth, just use 1280x1024 and scale then. Should work nicely.

Nah, it has to be the native 16:9 resolution of the monitor. If you want the best result in fullscreen.

Use a native resolution of the monitor and play with the filter settings. That was my first suggestion

What are your filter settings with 1280x1024? I'd say '2x' for size would make it look like you want to
![]() Edit: If you use 1280x1024 disable 'Ascept Ratio Correction' too. |

This is wrong. It's a FullHD monitor with a 1920x1080 resolution. 1280x1024 is 4:3.

I've just tried all Aspect-Ratio-Settings - as they change at runtime it was an easy thing to do - it has NO effect on the screen height though (thus the screen still being cut at exactly the same position)

![]() Change 1x to 2x. I'd really recommend to use a 5:4 window setting... my last 2 cent here ![]() |

Thank You both!
That did the trick! - My WinUAE hat set the Scaling to "default" at that place - never looked at that setting. Again: I'm really impressed - thanks for your help! (If that setting is default - and thus causing problems - probably to other ppl too, would it be an idea to point it out to TW?) ![]() |
