I mean to have no top and bottom black areas,
I use original resolution for full screen, and it resembles the original dos gameplay environment and that's good..
But I hate the borders over the top and bottom of it. How can I get rid of them?
Thanks
Jack
aspect=false
Nope, doesn't work.
Thanks

aspect=true 😉
If you still have black borders, blame your OS/video card/video card driver/monitor.
Or use aspect=true, fullresolution=0x0, and output=openglnb.
Okay, it works now.
Many thanks
