Screen resolution on games

[paul1981]

Ok.. But my 28" fat screen tv doesnt have any stretch mode lol. Any way I can fix it without this stretching? Cause I have tried several resolutions on my WB but it doesnt matter, the game will be the same small picture.. :afro:

Check on the tv settings menu than the tv is set to '4:3' mode, and not on 'AUTO' or '16:9 WIDE' ...if it's on AUTO then there's a chance it's switching to '16:9 WIDE' mode which would squeeze the picture (vertically).

On a seperate note, you should also connect up to your tv using a SCART cable if possible, as the picture quality will be excellent. Connecting through the Composite Video (the yellow wire) works, but it's no where near as good as through the SCART.

My 28" 4:3 TV does have a 16:9 mode, there's a chance yours does as well, so it's worth checking through the menus.

Ok. Thx. But no.. My tv is ooooold .. No 16:9 mode.. And the yellow wire goes into a scartadapter to my tv.. But I can try with different connections but doubt that it will help. I had a 20" before and then there was a bigger picture cause then the picture didnt get smaller on the side.. Just on the hight.. I think it will have to be something with NTSC/PAL that makes the game change the resolution.. I shall try connect the Amiga to a flat screen and see what happens..

Depends on how they're set up at the factory, but the border shouldn't be huge.  NTSC/PAL is to to with the height, not the width, so that wouldn't explain your width problem.
So you say Workbench looks okay... what screen resolution are you running it on?  Did you have to alter the overscan settings to get it to fill the screen?  Does your Workbench look squashed?
