Lordmonkus Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 It may be a shader, turn off the shaders for that core by setting the shader passes to 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 So I posted the thread to the other mods like I said in my post on the other thread just in case, but it does seem more like the image is being cut in half rather than scaled. However, I think the best thing to test this out would be to update the cores in RetroArch, and then pull a fresh RetroArch.cfg from the zip's that you download from their site. This will help eliminate if it's a settings error or a PC error. It might be easier just to pull a completely fresh install all together from the RetroArch site, so if replacing just the RA.cfg doesn't work try that too.

SentaiBrad Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Or Monkus can chime in. That's right! I do recall it being a shader issue. I blanked on that X_X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 In the shaders section of the quick menu, look for the line "Shader Passes. If there is a number there other than 0 press left until it does and then scroll up and Apply Changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyskullhead Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 while I am asking sorry to be cheeky if I can resolve this issue is there a way to ensure the 4:3 image fills screen I normally get borders at top and bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 No problem, hopefully it fixes the issue. I know I have seen others have this issue before but I cannot remember what the fix was and I have never experienced this issue myself.

Lordmonkus Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 To fill the screen top to bottom turn off Integer Scaling in the video settings, just keep in mind that if you happen to use a CRT Scanline type of shader it may look a bit off because of the spacing.

SentaiBrad Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Yea, try the shaders thing too. Once Monkus said that it rang a bell for me too. If that still doesn't work though, grab a new zip of RA from their site and try replacing the RA.cfg (the default config) or try upgrading to the new version all together. The online updater only updates to a certain extent, and since they don't install like LaunchBox does for example, you'll always need to grab a new package or the exe upgrades to full update. In this case though, grab the full package so you get the default cfg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyskullhead Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 can it be deleted from within retroarch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 If things aren't saving right, where did you put the emulator? Try somewhere not on your C drive, and I am now leaning towards trying a completely fresh install of RetroArch more and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil9000 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 If you are using a core override you will get a config save failed if you are trying to save globally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyskullhead Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Looks like it's totally fucked , is it worth just setting up a fresh build for cps 2 other stuff still working ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
