Should I even bother with Dreamcast, Sega Saturn or PS2?

[Zombeaver]

It's really odd.

Out of curiosity, is it doing this both when launched via LB and if simply run normally on its own?

[luger81]

When SSF is run on its own. I will try with LB this time. I'm rebooting that PC right now. It will be done shortly. I'll try it in a minute.

Also, I've tried wiping SSF but it didn't help.

It happens both ways.

Someone else had this issue but it doesn't look solved to me.

Did you try pressing Alt + Enter to put it into window mode then Alt + Enter again to put it back into full screen mode ?

[luger81]

Yes, it doesn't work.

[Lordmonkus]

Can you post a screen shot of your Options > Screen tab ?

[luger81]

Here you go.

[Lordmonkus]

Try turning on Fixed Fullscreen Resolution, I have that turned on and have never run into the problem you are having. I have no clue if that is the fix or not, just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what happens

[luger81]

Good try but no go.

[Lordmonkus]

The only thing I got left is try turning off the the stretch screen option.

What the display bug looks like is in the rendering change from windowed into full screen mode and what you are seeing is the bottom bar of the window being left on screen.

What version of Windows are you using ?

[luger81]

Everything seems to work ok with SSFa.exe instead of SSF.exe fullscreen.

[Lordmonkus]

There you go then.

[luger81]

Not sure why SSF.exe stopped working. It was fine last night. I swear that I didn't change any settings either. 

[Lordmonkus]

SSF has problems and this is why people like myself and others were so happy to see Mednafen come out with their Saturn emulator.

[luger81]

Yes but unfortunately, Mednafen is way too slow for me on my current laptop.

[luger81]

By the way, I ended up giving up on Sega Saturn. I still couldn't get it to work properly.

This is a 4 year old topic, but this post provides a solution to this ongoing issue. SSF is a buggy emulator and is also a JAP emulator by default, translated. It's a real pain in the ass if you aren't an expert in the emulation scene.

• Widescreen 16:9 (If Using CRT Ignore This Step).
• VSynch Wait (Fullscreen).
• Fixed Fullscreen Resolution.
• Full Size.

4) Press OK To Close Out Of Options.

5) Press F12 To ACTIVATE Fullscreen Mode.

6) Press ESC To Close The Emulator.

7) Open SSF.

8) Press Alt-Enter TWICE To Disable, Then Enable, Fullscreen Mode. (Endgoal Is To Be In Fullscreen Mode)

...and that solves that problem.

Or you know, just use Retroarch or mednafen like everybody else.

[freddogg]

This is an alternative option if people don't like to use medanafen. I don't remember asking moderators to be an asshole, so fuck off and ban me.
