Genesis Knight Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 As you guys know, NeoCD SDLX exists in three flavors for the Xbox: v1.00 - original, by Lantusv1.01 - some fixes, adds 480p/720p display modes"Unleashed" - adds ISO support, seems to be based on v1.00 of the normal emulator What kind of blows my mind is that by adding a 720p display mode to v1.01 (based on dashboard settings), the emulator will always be 'stretched' on a widescreen display. This makes the 1.01 version kind of worthless, and I have to stick with 1.00 version or the "unleashed" version, without the bug fixes. The 1.00 version displayed the games in native 4:3/non-widescreen, so there was no stretching. Is there any way to get v1.01 to display in standard 4:3 without changing my dashboard settings? I really like this emulator because I can run my retail Samurai Spirits 1/2 disks in my Xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumanchu Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 you might want to try the newest neo cd emu for xbox called xneoraine,it might be exactly what your looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis Knight Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'll check that out; looks like it doesn't support retail Neo Geo CD games, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis Knight Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Just checked; it definitely doesn't support discs at all. So no way to disable the auto-widescreen stretching on NeoCD SDLX 1.01? Edited June 19, 2012 by Genesis Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emu Newbie Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 There is something called xresizer (I believe) that is used in a few other emulators to change the size of the display. Try looking into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis Knight Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 That was a good idea, but NeoCD SDLX doesn't use any sort of INI for its video configuration, so XResizer isn't really of any help. I tried to PM Lantus about it on the Xbox-Scene forums, but no response. Anyone know where he's still active? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ T + Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 He still posts over at the Neosource forums, but that's in relation to his work on FBA. He hasn't been active in Xbox1 development for a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis Knight Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Obviously I haven't seen the source, but it seems like it wouldn't be a huge deal to just turn off that functionality. Since NeoCD SDLX is still very useful for a specific purpose (running retail Neo CD games), maybe he'd be open to a quick release. I'll PM him at NeoSource if I can.

+ T + Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Does your TV not have a function to switch to 4:3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis Knight Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 It does, but it doesn't "compress" the 720p image to 4:3 as you'd expect, it simply cuts off the edges of the stretched picture with a frame. I've seen this happen with a few other video sources as well. On most sources, yes, that would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis Knight Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 I noticed that there's a 1.01 version of NeoCD-SDLX Unleashed. Tried it out and it has the proper 4:3 display ratio, but none of the graphics glitch fixes from the 'real' 1.01 release. Guess there's no help coming for this issue?
