I would like to see this on my Snes Classic

looks like checksum is right:

however, the bso may be a problem.

What is BSO?

it's a config file. without it (tried it), the image is oval shaped.

I think you need to use the stretch command as well. the original rom will not stretch with that command, but the widescreen one will. here's what mine looks like:

that's if you want it full screen. otherwise, it should fill the box. the original rom won't fill the box either (just checked). the patched rom does:

Great! Thanks! I got it to work in the standalone BSNES HD.

I can't seem to find how to stretch the screen in Retroarch. Where in the menus is that option?

godreborn · Jun 20, 2021

Not sure.

Damn nice ! ( but.... I still have a Crt TV for my old Retro console :wub:

Works well on Switch. Just had to turn on the Widescreen stretch option in bsnes.

I try it on pc and works perfect, but in switch with the core on retroarch is very slow... about15fps?

Yours?

Duh. Just needed to update the core. Then it just works.

Awesome stuff

DoctorDizzyspin · Jun 20, 2021

This is really cool

It's always neat to see things like this, it's great how people are still working to create the definitive ways to play older games.

All of you playing with stretched images and claiming to like it. You are on my list now.

I'm going to get the wide-screen hack and shrink it down to play on a 4:3 display.

Letterbox/cropping?
That is a hard debate. On the one hand I despise that in normal video more than I do stretching. On the other hand that would be basically returning it to stock, making it a bit of a pointless exercise (outside of some specific speedrunning ideas anyway).

Though I know you probably mean stretching such that it will be squashed/skinny, and now I actually kind of want to see that. Not to play, just to see, even more so if the creators do end up with some kind of ultrawide fun.

GX emulator can make any MegaDrive game even ultrawidecreen. Sega does, what nintendon't.

Bsnes-HD already did this 2 full years before the GenesisPlus emulator, with any game. What are you talking about? LOL.

There was a port of mega man X for the genesis ? Wow

Both are tech demos with some levels recreated, not "ports".

regnad said:
is there something else I need to do?

No. It just works.

Stretching is such a horrible aberration anyway... oh well.

Probably nothing kmfdmanic can't figure out I'm sure.

I'll replace mine on the snes mini if it becomes possible. I wonder what would happen if you put the bso in a zip with the rom?

I’m one of those weirdos who plays the older games in stretched widescreen

Yeah, the GBA really made this not a big deal for me back in the day, offering to stretch Game Boy and Game Boy Color games to fit the GBA display if you hit L or R, as a kid, I thought there was no reason not to do it stretched, hell to this day, I maintain a lot of that mentality. Of course, I'll always take proper widescreen implementation over stretched any day when it's available.

godreborn · Jun 20, 2021

Have to redo retroarch's settings if you reflash the snes mini though AFAIK.

MarkDarkness · Jun 20, 2021

Really great stuff!

Yes, it was even made by the same person who ported Sonic 1 to the SNES
