Strange display stretch   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2123 of 15019 |
Hi all,

I got my GBA yesterday. I'm sure there's no need to tell you the games I've
seen so far look superb :) Anyway, while testing my homebrew games (for GBC)
on my new baby I noticed some strange things:

First, as someone already pointed out, the colors look awfully darkish...
but, what really puzzles me is the display screen *not being the same size*
everytime I run the game. Sometimes there's a black border sorrounding the
screen (which I think would be the right setting?) and sometimes the game
starts with the screen stretched out covering the entire display.

The funny thing is the screen also changed from "narrow" to "wide" while
running the game. :-o

Has anyone else noticed this behaviour? FYI, I'm using Bung carts and the
game I was testing performed very tricky and tightly sync'd operations each
HBL. Maybe this has something to do with it, don't know.

Cheers
Jorge
