If you're really having a problem with this, you can use the stretch to window feature and make it smaller. I played through most of the game and never noticed. If it were a serious problem, I think I would have?

If it were a serious problem, I think I would have? My problem is some people have played it on dolphin in the correct aspect ratio with no stretching and I want to know how they were able to do it. I am bugged by it because there are a lot of scenes where the stretching is very obvious. I could do a comparison and find out how much is being cut off then set my game resolution to that and have my GPU force my monitor to keep the correct aspect ratio giving the game some black bars on the side. But I would rather just figure out how to fix this. 08-29-2014, 03:44 AM
Okay... maybe I'm misunderstanding your issue. If the game is rendering at the wrong resolution, the best way to confirm that would be to get screenshots side by side against console. Now, this isn't fool proof, as T.V.s have overscan and stuff, which is sometimes why Dolphin shows more. If the aspect ratio is WAY OFF, i would have noticed in my playthrough, I think, but i didn't. You're saying other people haven't had this problem, which would point toward a setting problem... so...
Do you have the crop button touched in the advanced section of the settings? Are you forcing the aspect ratio to anything? Do you have the widescreen hack set to on? Those three things are all I could think of that would cause problems with the aspect ratio of a game. 08-29-2014, 01:33 PM

You're saying other people haven't had this problem, which would point toward a setting problem... so... I posted my settings on the page before. I even erased the dolphin settings from my documents folder and started from scratch which still didn't seem to help. I tried finding the same Dolphin version that I saw in the guy's video I posted but I can no longer locate it.
I was wondering if anyone can try running skies of Arcadia and see if the scene I posted in my screenshot matches theirs.
If I can just get a confirmation that someone else has the same issue or doesn't then it will be easier to figure out how to fix this issue. It would also help if that person posts a screenshot of the same scene. It's basically the first static scene in the game so it doesn't take long to get to it. Basically this is how the game is supposed to look. And this is how it is looking for me......notice how it is stretched and shows less on the sides of the image. 08-30-2014, 08:44 PM
After some testing I found the issue.
Only the PAL version of the game displays the correct aspect ratio. If you try using the NTSC version then the visuals are stretched. I finally can play it with the correct resolution.....but I lose the ability to keep the Japanese voices.
You're actually incorrect. I tested on console, since I own the game. Both Dolphin and the game have the same exact aspect ratio.

I tested on console. The correct aspect ratio for NTSC is displayed. There is literally no room for argument when the console verification is right there. PAL may have a different aspect ratio (and hell, that aspect ratio may be more toward the original dreamcast version) but the point is that Dolphin is doing whatever the console is doing correctly.

Yes you are correct that dolphin is correctly emulating how it is on console. My point was that the NTSC version of the game has the wrong aspect ratio and it stretched horizontally and the PAL version displays the game correctly. I wish it wasn't like that because I would prefer playing at 30fps instead of 25fps and the undubbed version of the game I have is only for NTSC. I guess I could try my hand at editing the sound files but I couldn't find the right software that could do it correctly. |
