So my widescreen project is my baby. With a large undertaking I'm going start small with Model 2. I have provided LUA scripts to enable widescreen on the games that it works with. Playing HOTD in full widescreen is awesome. The Nebula emulator for Sega Model 2 has the capability to present most of the library in a true 16:9 aspect ratio with NO POP IN. This is achieved with LUA scripts. I spend hours doing this so you don't have to Creating a 'definitive' pack for play..... not display. I have tested the entire library and found all but 3 games (Pilot Kids, Sky Target, Virtua Soccer) work great with the widescreen hack/script. With no pop in and truly anamorphic. I have also applied the NO FLASH SCRIPTS for House of the Dead and Virtua Cop 1 & 2. NVDATA files for light gun games are also provided so they are accurate. All light gun games are accurate for mouse support. 'Where do I put these files?' Simples. Place the LUA files in the 'scripts' folder of the Model 2 Emulator. NVDATA files go in the 'NVDATA' folder. Below is a list of the games and their associated rom any important info that needed to be documented. Behind Enemy Lines bel -Turn 'Draw Cross' off in emulator.ini as this game has its own crosshairs. -This light gun game doesn't flash natively so no need for a LUA script to remove this. -Works Great Cyber Troopers Virtual-On von -Works Great Daytona USA daytona -Works Great Dead or Alive doa -Works Great Desert Tank desert -Works Great Dynamite Baseball 97 dynabb97 -Works Great Dynamite Cop dynamcop -Works Great Fighting Vipers fvipers -Works Great Gunblade NY gunblade -Turn 'Draw Cross' off in emulator.ini as this game has its own crosshairs. -Works Great House of the Dead, The hotd -Calibrated and accurate -White flash when firing has been removed. -Will even let you shoot outside of the 4:3 area. -Needed re calibrating to adjust for the 16:9 aspect ratio. -NVRAM file provided for accurate Mouse Light Gun. -Very minor pop in in very few places.

Yeah I have decided to tackle this project bit by bit. Naomi on its own is fine as about 100 games, but MAME is just massive. So I'm gonna do Model 2 and 3 after Naomi and then tackle mame board by board for eg Namco System 22 and work my way through it that way, then mop up the rest. I have too many projects at the moment and no time to do them.

Did you know Atomiswave and Naomi games have English language settings along with other important settings, features and unlocks you are missing out on!? Yes it's true, no more fumbling with Google Translate. With the NVMEM pack I have painstakingly put together you can get access to these features without having to go through those settings yourself. I spend hours doing this so you don't have to Creating a 'definitive' pack for play..... not display -Unlock hidden game modes, characters and cars. Some games require engineer passwords to unlock characters, which has been done for you. -No need to add coins as every title here has been set to free play. -Every games audio has been set to stereo as mono is the default for many of them. -All light gun games have been calibrated in the test menu. This ensures accuracy. -Features like Blood in some games has now been turned on, as off is often the default. 'WHERE DO I PUT THESE FILES?' I hear you ask. If using the Flycast core in RetroArch go to RetroArch/saves/Sammy Atomiswave/reicast, and place them here. EDIT: Some people have been reporting their reicast saves folder is in a different location. It could be located 'RetroArch/saves/reicast' or 'RetroArch/saves/"rom location folder"/reicast' Know that you aren't missing out on anything. Below is a table list of every game and the associated rom that these are for along with any engineer passwords that were required to use. Only the settings I changed are listed. Everything else was left as default as that is the preferred way to play. I do want to do this for Naomi too at some point. Then......MAME....Maybe. EDIT: THIS HAS NOW BEEN DONE.

I love this set. By far the best euro set out there IMO. However I noticed the holographic sticker on games that did not get one. Only games with the black 'Playstation' banner at the bottom have a holographic sticker as this came in a bit later into the PSX life. For e.g. Alien Trilogy, Assault Rigs, Bedlam, Destruction Derby 1 and 2 do not have the banner and therefore do not have the holographic sticker. On some of these titles the sticker covers a publishers/developers logo. Would it be possible to remove this from those games to make this more authentic to the retail releases? I am totally willing to go through the set and make a list of all the games that need the sticker removing. Cheers

Did this request get taken on? I would also like this feature

So I have caught the widescreen bug for games that were made before the widescreen revolution. This is mostly 3D games of the 5th and 6th Console Generation. Whilst there are quite a few games that have native widescreen support there are hacks and cheats to unlock the aspect ratio to display a true Anamorphic 16:9 Widescreen image. NO IN GAME STRETCHING HERE. What is True Anamorphic 16:9? - When you set a 4:3 game to run 16:9 and that title doesn't support it, the image will be stretched. True Anamorphic is adjusted for the 16:9 space so everything is rendered and displayed with no stretching. There are 3 ways to achieve this below. Native Widescreen? - Some games actually have widescreen support from the older generations. I was surprised to discover Goldeneye has native widescreen support, which would have made 4 player deathmatching wayyyyy better. Cheat Codes? - For games that have no Widescreen support there are some coding geniuses out there that have made easily implementable cheat codes to achieve Anamorphic 16:9. A small number of games need directly patching however most use cheat codes. These are made on a per game basis and yield far better results than Emulator Hacks. Emulator Hacks? Most emulators and cores now have a "Widescreen Hack" option. This option only works on a handful of games and is generally not the way to go as pop-in is really obvious outside the 4:3 space. PLEASE UNDERSTAND EMULATOR HACKS ARE NOT CHEAT CODES. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. POP-IN Pop-in is the enemy of getting games to run in 16:9. Because games were made to display in 4:3, anything that is displayed outside of that space will pop-in and out unless something is done to manipulate the code to render everything in the 16:9 space. This is due to devs simply not needing to use recourses on displaying anything outside 4:3 in those days. As I mentioned above, emulator hacks have terrible pop-in outside the 4:3 space. This is why cheat codes are the way to go if a game doesn't have native widescreen support. Cheat codes generally just work....... but not always. UI, HUD, FMV & Menu Stretching When using any widescreen solution there is more often than not, some 2D elements that will be stretched or not adjusted to display in the 16:9 space e.g speed dials in racers. Even native widescreen games have 2D asset stretching as the devs didn't adjust any or some of these elements. There are some examples where this doesn't happen, mostly with cheat codes as the coding genius behind it figured out how to resize or move UI elements. Sometimes selection cursors wont line up with what you are selecting as a result of the clashing 4:3 2D assets and adjusted 16:9 assets. FMV is generally stretched also, but not always. These are really small issues and not deal breakers. Just a small price to pay for glorious in game 16:9. Regional Differences / 60Hz Some titles for PAL/JP regions are easier/better to make codes/patches for over their USA counterparts. I had to change up my set to accommodate widescreen. I will be listing what region version is needed. Most games run at 60Hz thanks to codes but if not it will be in the notes section on the list. What am I doing? What is the project all about? Testing. Lot's of time consuming testing. Not all cheat codes work and have noticeable pop-in, ruining the experience. Emulator hacks work on very few games. I am testing most if not all games for certain platforms to see what works correctly with no pop-in using cheat codes or emulator hacks. Also finding out what region version works better as I have come across differences in pop-in. I am collating lists of working games with notes and presenting them to everyone to enjoy. These will be definitive up to date lists. For platforms like GC I will be providing ini's with the cheat codes to save everyone some time. If it has bad pop-in it gets cut. I'm also trying to consolidate information. Sega Dreamcast 16:9 Widescreen Games via Flycast List The Flycast core has all of the up to date Widescreen Cheat Codes hard coded to the core itself. No copy and pasting. All you need to do is go to Quick Menu -> Options -> Emulation Hacks -> and enable "Widescreen Cheats". Please make sure "Widescreen Hacks" is NOT ENABLED. You will need to set RetroArch itself to 16:9. "Auto" won't work. YOU ONLY NEED DO THIS FOR NATIVE WIDESCREEN GAMES You can set the Flycast core resolution to how you want it. You may want to save an Game Options Override on a per game basis for RetroArch. Here is the GitHub link to the widescreen cheats for the Flycast Core that I referenced. All available codes are present at this time - https://github.com/flyinghead/flycast/blob/master/core/cheats.cpp Native 16:9 Support - Requires RetroArch itself to be set to 16:9 & requires in game display options to be set to 16:9/Wide AeroWings (USA) Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers (USA) F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa (USA) MSR - Metropolis Street Racer (USA) Rayman 2: The Great Escape (USA) Starlancer (USA) Test Drive: V-Rally (USA) Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 (USA) Toy Commander (USA) Toy Racer (USA) TrickStyle (USA) Wacky Races (USA) Games With Working Widescreen 16:9 Cheats via Flycast Core - Requires "Widescreen Cheats" to be Enabled 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker (USA) 4 Wheel Thunder (USA) AeroWings 2: Airstrike (Europe) Game Runs at 50Hz - 25fps Alien Front Online (USA) Blue Stinger (USA) Bomber Hehhe!

Cheers mate.

Is this thread dead? I would like to suggest the ability to rename media files to match the file name over LB's file naming system.
-
I have simply tried launching LB on win 10 and got the same. I think this may need reporting or picking up by one of the devs.
