Any tips for best resolution?

Post by pomme » Thu Apr 20, 2017 11:25 am

I'm finishing up my first GBZ build. I am nearly done tweaking my settings and about to make a backup image of my sd while it's in a good place.

I'm using a 320x240 screen and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for getting the best image out of the screen. I've built dozens of retropie builds and am used to getting proper resolutions set up and snazzy shaders for cool looking crt effects in an HD environment, but now that everything is crammed down to 320x240 I'm kind of at a loss for what to change (if anything).

Games look okay, just wondering if anyone has any tricks to get a more ratio-appropriate image(s) in the emulators. I'm using all libretro cores.

I had a similar issue with the small resolution especially to be able to read the game titles. Finally I installed another theme, optimized for this needs. Look here for an idea:

Thanks! Definitely using the gbz35 theme. It's a must! I wish the box art floated just below the console name instead of aligning to the bottom of the frame, but whatever.

Posting updated link, just in case search lands anyone here:

https://github.com/rxbrad/es-theme-gbz35-dark

If not already, both gbz35 and gbz35-dark should be available soon in RetroPie-Setup.
