Hi everybody,
I have been playing around with some NES emulators (fceu, nestopia and nnnesterj) and the the games are blurry (in full screen) and "glitchy" (for lack of a better word...for example when I'm playing Mario 3, and I'm running, the there are some lines that flash like there is a problem with the refresh or something). Here is my setup:
AMD Athlon 64 FX-60
2GB PC3200 RAM
EVGA Geforce 8800 GTS
Acer p241w LCD
WinXP Pro SP2
I used to have a CRT with Radeon video card, and I never had these problems. I have tried adjusting the resolution in windows and in the emulator, messing around with the settings in the nvidia control panel, changing the settings in the emulator itself (disabling hardware acceleration in fceu did clear the blurry problem in windowed mode, but I still have problems in full screen with blurand the "glitchy" problem is still there). Stretching the image instead of having the black areas on the sides helped a *little*. I've spent many hours looking online for a solution, and have found other posts that mention issues with nvidia cards...I have not tried looking for an updated driver (currently 6.14.11.6921 from December 2007 is installed). I can play MAME perfectly in full screen with no video problems.
I think the problem may be with my LCD display or my video card settings...ultimately I would like to be able to play in full screen (either stretched or not) or close to full screen without any video problems (I know emulation will never be perfect, but I'm sure it can be better with my setup). I would really appreciate any and all help anyone would be able to give me.
Thanks!
Mike
