#8250 closed patch (outdated)

ALL: Enabling different aspect ratio correction methods

Description

This patch makes it possible to switch between different aspect ratio correction modes (which can be useful e.g. if "exact" is too slow) with Ctrl-Alt-a. I've updated both the SDL and OpenGL backends, but I haven't given the latter much testing really.

In my highly unscientific tests, I concluded that "sloppy" is alittle faster than "fast", "exact" is the slowest by far, and I usually can't tell any difference between the output of "fast" and "exact".

The patch is not quite backwards compatible with current behaviour:

I've changed the --aspect-ratio command line option to -r<mode>. This is partly because I can't be bothered to write code to handle long options properly right now. It should be noted that -r has been reserved as a no-op for backwards compatibility since 0.2.0 or earlier. I haven't checked what it used to do.

Putting "aspect_ratio=true" in .scummvmrc / scummvm.ini no longer works since "true" is not a valid mode. This could be a problem since ScummVM refuses to start if there are this kind of errors in the config file.

The old patch no longer applies cleanly. This one should, for a while at least.

comment:2 by eriktorbjorn, 21 years ago

A simpler method would, of course, be to just use the "fast" mode since that's good enough (in my opinion) and much faster than the "exact" mode.

...and just as I wrote that, the change was made. I guess this is out of date now, then.
