Aspect Ratio

I'd like to be able to switch the aspect ratio of the window itself between 4:3 and 16:9, when in windowed mode.

You can press F7 to cycle through the aspect ratios.

I'm aware of that. I am talking about the shape of the window itself. Some TV shows are broadcast in the 4:3 ratio, so you have to accept a bar down either side, or overscan, and then the top and bottom gets cut off. It's not a big deal. Just a thought...

GBPVR is excellent. I've seen virtually no programs this complex and well thought out by such a small group of programmers. You guys could get rich writing code - but don't forget us!!!

Ah, sorry. I cant change the aspect ratio of the the window after it starts. Lots of GUI stuff is pre-render to the ideal resolution and aspect ratio when the app starts. It be a huge amount of work to change this, so not worth the hassle in my book.

Its just me writing GB-PVR, but there are other community members making plugins and skins.

ONE coder(Sub) and you just talked to him cool ah talking to the guy with so much talent
the plugins are done by others and they do a great job aswell

you can edit the config.xml file and make u your own ratios if you are not happy with the ones that are there have a look on the wiki
