PJ64 Question

[Bedwyr]

I downloaded Project64 after hearing that they finally removed the malware. I'm trying to get Ocarina to display in 4:3. I have the full screen resolution set to 1280x960 in the graphics plugin settings but the emulator insists on 16:9 once I start a game and go to full screen. Not sure what to do.

Did you set the aspect ratio to 4:3 in the video plugin settings ?I also highly recommend using Mupen64plus. https://m64p.github.io/

It's not as fancy as yours, but:

Are you not using the GLideN64 plugin ?

Er, I'm using whatever came with the emulator by default; I assumed it was packaged together. I don't see anything else on the PJ64 website.

Ok, switched over. Sorry I missed that. Unfortunately it's still displaying wide screen. Also checked StartFox64. It appears that one is 16:9 stretched as well.

If you set the aspect to 4:3 it should display in 4:3, it does for me.

[Bedwyr]

Fraid not. It just insists on stretching.

[Bedwyr]

Hmm. Interesting. When I have x960 resolution and the fullscreen display set to 4:3, there are very narrow black bars on the top and bottom. When I switch to 15:9, the screen gets squashed more, with bigger black bars.

[Lordmonkus]

Weird, cause the screenshot I posted above launches stuff in 4:3.

I gave up on using PJ64 though, I find Mupen64plus much better and easier to use.

[Bedwyr]

higher compatibility rate too?

[Lordmonkus]

Yeah, Mupen64 is awesome out of the box setup to use the GLideN64 plugin and everything.

[Bedwyr]

Ok, I'll check it out.

Update: I got the Mupen core working more to my tastes on Retroarch. I think I'll stick with it for now as the most user-friendly and personal setup friendly option. Now it's just a decision whether to do an Ocarina playthrough on the big screen or the remastered 3DS version...
