0.  Posted: Mon Jul 24, 2006 5:45 am Post subject: Stepmania Screen Stretching |
 |
|
I'm having a problem when I connect stepmania to my TV. I'm using an S-Video cable to do this. When I see stepmania and my desktop on the screen, all four sides of the screens are filled to the edges until I start the gameplay. The part of the screen where the lifebar (top) is and where the score (bottom) is is scrunched toward the middle of the screen. I have looked through the options and I couldn't find anything. Is there any way to stretch it to the edges? Any help would be nice!  |

odd, my stepmania fits my tv screen while my desktop doesn't  anywho, go into options and pick screen adjust (i think that's what it's called) |

I didn't see that anywheres in there and like I said I've tried all the size options. I think it's the theme because when I use pop candy it's full but anything else like Max 2 or Katze Extreme is weird. Does anyone know what to change in the metrics? I tried changing some numbers and it does change the size just I don't know the correct numbers and exactly where to put them.  |

Thanks but no thanks. I just tried it and all it does is move it to different parts of the screen. I need to stretch it not center it. |

like i said, you need to hold shift while pressing the arrows, that stretchs it.
this works to stretch the sreen, if it doesn't then your doing something wrong.

Thanks. I'll try this tonight. Question, why do you instruct him to change to the original theme? I assume you mean Stepmania's default theme. I'm just curious why. |

Haha wow, thanks. I've been meaning to update my basement setup topic with new photos.
So I was able to change the aspect ratio of the screen with your shift/direction button suggestion, but couldn't increase the vertical size enough to make a difference. As I increased the size, the borders would disappear into the black area of my screen. It's not a big deal to me. I'll settle for that "widescreen on a 4x3 TV" look. |

I tried it in both katze extreme and max 2 and default was fine at the beginning but max 2 didn't change nor did extreme. And yes I was holding down shift.  |
