DDP DOJ/Espgaluda/Ketsui Image question

Geezer · Post by **Geezer** » Fri May 25, 2007 8:19 am

When I play Ketsui it doesn't fill the screen, as shown in the pic. Would I experience the same issue with Espgaluda and DDP DOJ PCBs? I'm just asking as they are on the same hardware.

Thanks for the reply

I'll stick with the PS2 ports for now and wait until I get a cab before moving on to the PCBs.

Yea, it's the same on all the hardware. It's supposedly IGS hardware so maybe those don't fill the screen either? It's quite annoying however, when you play the ports on PS2 they actually overfill the screen (in full TATE mode). A good alternative if you're tired of the small PCB image though.

EDIT: looks like you already know (we posted at the same time, lol)

Yep, nothing is ideal on my TV. TVs are no substitute for an arcade monitor

If you can reach the service mode of your TV, you may be able to modify many settings, like picture size.

I've tried searching Google a few times, but nothing pops up.
I'll hopefully buy a new CRT soon.

I might as well ask, does Espgaluda let you choose your autofire button in the same manner that Espgaluda II does?

Nope.

By the way, it looks like that is a Sony monitor, right? You might try looking for the code here if you haven't already: http://www.agoraquest.com/aboutus.php

A cheap-ass Commodore Amiga monitor works wonders for playing arcade PCBs on...the one to aim for is the 1084S series (as it has all the required end-user adjustment controls)... ^_~

It's just a cheap Ferguson I bought 5 years ago. I managed to find a service manual for it and I've totally buggered the image

I'm going to admit defeat and just buy a new TV

Isn't the 1084S a 14"

I'm so used to playing on a 21" that I couldn't make the downgrade!

For Geezer,

Yes, that ol' Amiga monitor is a 14" but it outputs at a razor sharp analog RGB 15 kHz horizontal sync rate...can't get any better than that. ^_~

Or perhaps a Sony PVM series analog RGB monitor (with bigger and more palatable viewing sizes to behold) would be more suited to your taste when it comes to playing arcade PCBs on?

Geezer lives in London, he has lots of RGB compatible TV/monitors to choose from. He doesn't have to scavenge for old 1084s and Sony PVMs like Americans.
