I've read about aspect's and different scalers but i'm still struggling with certain games that are pillarboxed (black bars on the sides Only). I'd like full screen stretched if it's possible!

My current config

fullscreen=true
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=1920x1200
windowresolution=original
output=ddraw

language=
machine=svga_s3
captures=capture
memsize=16

frameskip=1
aspect=true
scaler=hq3x

Shadow Warrior , Simon the Sorcerer 2 , Superfrog are such games 🙁

Monitor = SyncMaster T240 , any help would be well received 😀

This will stretch/pillarbox the game depending on the resolution requested. You can also set aspect=true for some aspect correction. If you want to force the game to stretch on a 16:10 monitor, use a 4:3 resolution like 1600x1200 or 1024x768 and the game will stretch width-wise every time. Helps if the game really wants borders (Redneck Rampage I believe is one of them)
