[QUOTE="DiePlage, post: 575738, member: 45460"] Hi Atreides, I really like ZSNES and I don't care much about the bars. My settings are: Custom resolution 1920x1080 (native resolution of my TV), stretch disabled (keep aspect-ratio), Filters enabled (Super eagle) Still, there is a bar of about 50px on top and bottom. This happens with or without MP. I have a notebook running a native resolution of 1440x900 with the same symptoms, ZSNES settings are: Custom resolution 1440x900 (native resolution), stretch disabled (keep aspect-ratio), Filters enabled (Super eagle). My HTPC has a ATI HD3200 IGP, the Notebook uses a HD3470. I've set up ZSNESW 1.51 a a couple of other systems with these symptoms as well. I *THINK* the cause of this is that the internal aspect ratio of the SNES is 8:7 which was stretched by your TV to the TV's physical aspect ration of 4:3. In other words, the SNES does not use square pixels. Iirc, there's a function somewhere in ATI's catalyst drivers to compensate for different pixelformats. MAYBE this is causing the black bars. Another possible cause could be the filter algorithm in use. Maybe I will try ZSNES without filters later this evening. However, this is highly speculative and while I really would like to know a fix for this I can very well live with the black bars :-) I just came across this link [url=http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13397&sid=14dbd7062ece882458c046abee931152]ZSNES board :: View topic - 16:10 fullscreen[/url] at the official zsnes board but they didn't find a real solution either.
