Some video questions (really confused now)

Another example of a game having horizontal resolution pushed from 256 to 320:

According to the description of the hack, the enhanced screen setting is already present in the game code, it just needs to be activated by entering a new password (since it was impossible to enter the "@" character of the old password in the game password editor).

If the creator of the "hack" has managed to understand this trick hidden in the game code perhaps he could also look for something similar in other 256x224 games? Who knows what he would find?

Why do you want your games to run in 320px mode if the art wasn't designed for that aspect ratio (left alone other factors like screen border edges for 'poping' in sprites and the background maps)???

OutRun 2019 has a similar feature behind the cheat menu, but it doesn't work great (the HUD is broken since it expects the original resolution, and in some parts the road looks more glitched up than usual since it isn't hiding as much). It was probably more intended to help figure out what the roads were doing than meant to be used for actually playing.

Set MODE to 08.

I don't want H32 games to run in H40 mode.

However, I would like to play in H40 mode some H32 games that didn't take into account the stretching done by CRT TV's.

I am sure those would look better and display a more accurate aspect ratio.

Nice hack, but putting the timer at the very top is a bad idea. Games back then left a margin to avoid important things from getting cropped when displayed on TV.

I'm keeping an eye on this:

Maybe paul_met can work his magic on some games..
