Integer scaling not working correctly

blanka

I have set both AdvMame and RetroArch to Integer scaling of graphics. I notice on vertical scrolling games that not every pixel has the same size. Some are 4x4 pixels, others 4x5. This gives a very anoying blitter effect on vertical shooters like Kyukyoku Tiger or 1942. Does anybody know how to fix it? I have it both in the PC-Engine and MAME versions of the game.

please post in particular the emulator(s) you are using, and their respective configs.

Could you tell us more about your display device? TV or monitor? If TV, does it have overscan, and can it be defeated?

I have a 60Hz 1920x1200 monitor connected through HDMI-DVI cable.

your cfg is corrupt:

video_smooth = false	
video_aspect_ratio.
video_force_aspect = true
video_scale_integer = true

ie

video_aspect_ratio.

blanka

That is an accident when I shortened the cfg to fit without triggering the spam police. It reads

# video_aspect_ratio =

# If this is true and video_aspect_ratio is not set,
# aspect ratio is decided by libretro implementation.
# If this is false, 1:1 PAR will always be assumed if video_aspect_ratio is not set.
video_aspect_ratio_auto = true

i can't really diagnose without all relevant cfg files (both /all/retroarch.cfg and /whichever-mame/retroarch.cfg) in full and all the rest of the questions asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. also ideally a screenshot of the issue (can do this in retroarch quickmenu)
