Widescreen aspect ratio support? #52

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Will you be providing widescreen support for Genesis Plus GX?  

Functions similar to other wii emulators such as stretch to screen, correct
to 4:3, and autodetect widescreen setting on wii would be very nice in this
emu.

This is already implemented in the current build:

- in the menu options, there is an option that let you configure the horizontal 
scale
of the menu display (from 640 to 720 pixels). This should prevent any "black 
borders"
around the menu  and should be suitable for every different kind of TV 
configurations.

- in video options, I added an option to keep the original aspect ratio while
playing, for use when your TV is in widescreen mode (16:9). Unfortunately, the
quality is not as good when using this feature because the image is
downscaled/filtered to take later TV upscaling in account, there is nothing I 
can do
about that, so, if you can, better switch your TV in 4:3 mode when playing 
games, as
this is their native format.

I don't plan to use the widescreen setting in the Wii options because it's not 
really
reliable (the Wii menu could be set to widescreen while the TV is actually 
outputing
in 4:3). And there is no way for the Wii to detect the format your TV is 
currently using.
