Aspect ratio help

Post by andy1977 »

I've a Sony Ericsson Experia Neo running Android v2.3.4 and I've downloaded the Scumm App v1.4.0 from the Android Market.

I cannot run any game with the correct aspect ratio - everything else runs perfectly. If I untick Fullscreen mode and/or Aspect ratio correction, the aspect ratio of the game is correct but I have a yellow blinking bar on the left hand side of the screen and duplication of some of the gaming window on the rightwhen running a game. When I pause the game to bring up save load options the yellow bar and duplication disappear but come back when I unpause.

The games I have run have been the Monkey Island 1 and Loom CD versions, Indiana Jones VGA, Zak McKraken and Maniac Mansion, all Dos versions.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Any help greatly received :)

Agh. Could you provide the output of the Android log (using e.g. aLogcat) just after starting ScummVM, please?

This is a known problem on some HTC devices, I guess we should enable the fix for your device too (we fix it by just drawing black over the left/right sides, but that uses a bit more battery life, so we don't want to do it on all devices if we can avoid it), and so it'd be nice to have the device/OpenGL info from the log.

Hi Fuzzie, thanks for your reply. I've only recently got an Android phone and am not familiar with using programs like alogcat but have downloaded the app. I've scrolled through the log and copied and pasted what looks like Scummvm entries. Hope this is what you're looking for:

Hi andy1977 and fuzzie.

I'm also experiencing the same issue as initially described when running any game with the correct aspect ratio. I'm using an Xperia Play (2.3.4, non-stock rom + kernel if it makes any difference).

Not sure exactly which part of the log you're after fuzzie, but suspect it may be this (mentions 854x480, the resolution of the screen) - apologies for it's length:

My ScummVM cfg was set to display games fullscreen when I entered ScummVM (I then changed turned that setting off before playing DotT, observing the colourful sidebars, and exiting).

Let me know if you need more/ something else. :)

Cheers,
Rob

Ah, that is very helpful! Blacklisting the Adreno devices might be the best idea.

Good to know to log was of some use. :-) Does it look like only Adreno gpus are affected?

Not pestering (understand it'll be fixed when it's fixed), but was wondering if the fix would appear in the Android Market, or only in the daily builds?

Cheers,
Rob

Hi fuzzie.

Tried using a daily build and this issue is still present - should I submit a bug report or feature request? Apologies for chasing this up, it'd be great to play Sam & Max with the correct aspect ratio.

Cheers,
Rob

Filing a bug report is always a good idea; I finally started poking at the Android backend myself today, but a bug report means that it won't be forgotten, and that it's easy for other devs to try fixing it themselves if they have time and/or can test.

Hi, I added a comment on the bug tracker on this same issue, but a different device. I also uploaded a picture and linked it there. Hope it helps.
