WAVE 1 GAMES Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Shamus, is there a way to stretch the video to fit the screen in the emulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Not sure what you mean by 'fit the screen', every game did its own thing with regards to screen size and borders and there is no standard. If you're talking about the black borders on the sides (that's most evident with wide monitors), those are there because otherwise, the aspect ratio would be wrong. I know some people like this kind of display (strange, strange people), but it's *wrong* and it doesn't look good. Televisions of the Jaguar era were 4:3 (at least NTSC televisions were, PAL was slightly more square), and that just looks bad stretched out to 16:9 (or wider). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think he means if you grab the bottom right of the display window and drag it bigger than the rendered image. You end up with the emulated display in the top right and a large white area all the way to the new window border. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVE 1 GAMES Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I was talking about what CJ said. Is there a way other than hitting th F9 key to fix this? Shouldn't it scale back out? Also since you mentioned adjustable aspect ratio, is that something you may implement in the future? I understand that you personally dont like upscaled aspect ratios, however other people may want that as an option. I currently have my Jaguar plugged into a 4k tv and the tv automatically upscales it to 16:9 and although i do understand what you are talking about the graphics do not appear stretched or distorted it looks great. It doesn't matter to me either way but again as I said others may want that as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 I suppose since the rendering backend is OpenGL now, there's no reason for it not to scale to random window sizes—though it would still preserve the 4:3 aspect ratio. I'll probably still keep the x1/x2/x3 buttons as 'shortcuts' to get the screen to a 'standard' size though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 http://icculus.org/virtualjaguar/tarballs/virtualjaguar-2.1.0-mac.tar.bz2 Hey Shamus, thanks for posting that. I was playing with the IrataJaguar on the Android and figure I would try out a more seasoned Jag emulator on the Mac. So far I have unpacked the file you provided, which got me this... And currently I am trying to find where the cartridge directory should be (and Bios image?) At the moment I am getting this though I have put a rom file in all the provided directories Naturally any help appreciated from Shamus or anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 ROMs go in the "software" folder. I don't believe a BIOS image is necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Sauron is right; BIOS images have not been needed since the middle of 2011. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this post: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/247783-virtual-jaguar-for-mac-need-for-qt-4-help-help/page-2#entry3430626 I had the exact same issue when I ran VJ on my Mac. This will get you sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Got it working. Runs a bit sluggish on a 1.8 ghz Mac (single core i5 intel). See if I can try this on a slightly faster Mac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 2.7 ghz (core intel i5) ran much smoother in the Bubsy gameplay. Intro was a bit choppy, but then I suspect there is lot being loaded in at that point. Couldn't get a bluetooth controller to map. Was that possible with the 2.1.0 revision of Virtual Jaguar?

doctorclu Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 That's the only Jag controller connector on the market (that I know of.) I bought 4 of them directly from Raphnet's site back then. Looks more expensive in this auction. Shipping too, but I don't remember the details of the purchase. I've used a PS2 controller in the past. Minus all the number keys it works great This looks interesting. Bought one to give a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) This looks interesting. Bought one to give a try. Got it in the mail today annnndd... no Mac support. (And I'll be honest I didn't check ahead of time.) So Mac users buyer beware. Fun $20 experiment. May tinker with it more later. Next...

Zerosquare Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Do other USB controllers work with VJ on your machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Mapping controllers so far is unresponsive. At least it was with Bluetooth controllers. But I'll dig out another USB controller and see if I have any more luck. There was a game enhancer mod I used to use for USB controllers and the Lynx emulator. Might check and see if that is still a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapping worked perfectly for my Retroflag SNES-model USB controller. Its the only USB controller Ive never had any compatibility issues with, Ive also been using it a lot for about a year with no signs of wear while tons of crappy USB controllers have broken on me after a month or two. One once shattered in my hands from my grip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
