Cropped screen in World's End #31

End of the World (Jone Yuan)

While other games display fine, this game is heavily cropped even with pixel perfect ratio. this is how it should look https://www.retroplace.com/pics/atari2600/titles/194952--world-end.png

When I brought the replay menu, it would appear fine on the screen video, however in-game it refuses to switch to the correct picture

This seems to have been a problem with v0.31.0 of Gopher2600.

v0.32.0 and v0.32.1 have been released recently and the game seems to be okay in those versions.

I am using version 0.32.1 Even tried deleting preferences file.

Same issue in Stella both standalone and retroarch. Only Stella 2014 on RA displays it correctly.

Looking at it again, the reason why it's being cropped like that is because the screen type is being detected as NTSC and not PAL.

There are a couple of ways you can force the use of PAL. In this case however, the best way is to install the stella.pro file. This is part of the Stella project so I don't include it in the Gopher2600 binary but you can download it from the Stella github and install it yourself.

I've written a short entry in the project wiki about it:

https://github.com/JetSetIlly/Gopher2600-Docs/wiki/Box-Art-and-stella.pro-file

There are also instructions for installing box art which you might be interested in.

The reason why it worked for me when I looked earlier is of course, because I have the stella.pro file installed already. Apologies for that. I'll make a mental note of that for the future in case anyone has similar problems.

Thanks for the report!

Thanks. I'll try the above solution.
