My PS2 is displaying Dodonpachi on multiple TV's(PAL60) in tate with the get point gauge off the screen on the left and right, or showing around half of it.
I've switched around the settings for the PS2 between 16:9/4:3 and full screen with no results.
The saturn version on the same TV's displays almost all of the bar.
I had the same issue with ESPGaluda as well. DoDonPachi DOJ always worked for me though. I never did understand why it does that when they are the same resolution on the same hardware ported by the same company, but now that they're running in my cabinet, I can solve it by adjusting the geometry.
Didn't Arika include the Tatehose modes for this very reason ? While TATE uses a rather uncommon PS2 resolution which maxes out the visible picture by using the horizontal blaking area, the Tatehose mode uses a compressed resolution. It's blurrier of course, but it should solve the problem on TVs affected.
