@HoraceAndTheSpider

AlienBreedTowerAssault_v1.3_AGA_2331 has wrong resolution set in whdload_db.xml

fix please update resolution from SCREEN_HEIGHT=262 to SCREEN_HEIGHT=284

I have noticed that this height (which is in the default gui settings) seems to work in many games. ex also AlienBreed2_v1.4_AGA_0044 Later has minor centering issue but easily fixed with new display panel/tab gui option are can be ignored.

If in the future: if you include the new smart centering feature I suggest to use vertical to be on as it fixes many games.

hello @2play ! Hope you're ok :-) With an updated Amiberry and freshly downloaded whdload_db.xml you should get the below settings (same will apply to AlienBreed2_v1.4_AGA_0044/AlienBreed2AGA). On my setup (Pi3B+/Retropie) those settings are optimal with wide screen and no cut off on energy bar/ammo.

<hardware>
CHIPSET=AGA
JIT=FALSE
PRIMARY_CONTROL=JOYSTICK
PORT0=JOY
PORT1=JOY
SCREEN_CENTERH=SMART
SCREEN_CENTERV=SMART
SCREEN_HEIGHT=262
</hardware>

Please confirm you're happy with the above? If so feel free to close the ticket. Thank you!

i definately based 262 on playing this myself, so I would trust your judgement @nemo93

HoraceAndTheSpider commented 4 years ago

Ok, so i see the issue here. 284 is in fact appropriate for the title screen - cutting off the (C) Team 17 text on a lower setting.

However 262 is correct to fill the screen, in-game, without any black borders, and both in-game visual displays are fully visable through out.

As such, until Amiberry supports auto-sizing of screens, i would favour the 'more full' ingame screen of 262 for Alien Breed: Tower Assault, since nothing is lost by missing a minr piece of text on the menu.

Users have the choice to override this by saving their own .UAE for the game with the preferred taller option if needed.

Tx for looking into it @HoraceAndTheSpider
