Micka Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 Hey all, bought the Pandora’s box, went to play my fav’s and the screen cuts. Now I know that it’s because there vertical games and my blast city crt is horizontal but is there anything I can do? Or is there a multi in 1 that I can buy solely vertical games which will do full screen? BTW, I’m Not too handy with this shit..ta, Mick… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefjedi Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Post a pic of what it is doing Do you have it set for your screen type ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micka Posted November 17 Author Share Posted November 17 Will do when I get home… yep adjusted to my crt. Just I think because the old school games I like are vertical. Eg galaga, gyruss, donkey K.. they go narrow from centre of screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namastepat Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 What you are showing is normal. You do not want vertical games to display in a stretched format on a horizontal screen, they look terrible like that. If you want to play vertical games with the whole screen filled, you need a vertical orientated monitor. MAME can stretch games to fill the screen horizontally, but they look horrific and it's absolutely not the way to play them. No idea if multiboards like Pandora's can do that stretching, buts it's 100% something you don't want to do anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namastepat Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 If you only want to play vertical games, sure. But I don't know if Pandora's can be set to vertical mode, to run games in full screen vertical. MAME can, but Pandora's like this are made for horizontal cabs. Also, the large majority of arcade games are horizontal. If you only have one cab, it's common to run it as horizontal and play the vertical games scaled to a horizontal screen resolution. There are vertical multiboards out there like the king of air board series and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyoyogoyo Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 (edited) If you can install the Pandory mod on that DX, I believe it has an option to use 'tate' (aka vertical) mode.
