Switchblade II on AmigaVision is cropped on iPad display #128

Running Switchblade II from the launcher crops the screen so I can't see the energy or weapons bar, but exiting the launcher and switching to PAL and running it from workbench is fine.

from launcher 20231026_082526-screen

Quitting launcher to WB gives me black bars top and bottom, and switching to PAL gives borders top and bottom, and left and right.

NTSC 20231026_085840-screen

PAL 20231026_085851-screen

Below are my Mister.ini settings.

[Amiga +Amiga1200 +Amiga500 +Amiga500HD +Amiga600HD] video_mode_pal=2048,1536,50 ;9 video_mode_ntsc=13 vscale_mode=0 vsync_adjust=1 ; You can set this to 2 if your display can handle it custom_aspect_ratio_1=40:27 bootscreen=0

i added this to my mister.ini and this seems to have helped

video_mode_ntsc=13 video_mode_pal=2048,1536,50

additonally, i generally force PAL on AmigaVision.

Yes, you will need to manually add a PAL resolution definition, since the presets only include an NTSC variant.

I also realized I had prioritized cropping for this game wrong, there’s useful info along the bottom of the screen that was lost in 5×PAL. (there is info at the top too, but less useful for gameplay, so it was adjusted)

Note that this crop will not affect the 4:3 iPad screen, so these issues are two separate ones.
