Add support for Wide Screens

[NICOHACKER2021]

It is something that any gba emulator, be it Windows or Android, does not have at the moment, I would like to play in widescreen to have a better experience.

Hello,

This shouldn't be too hard, I'll try to add it shortly.

Thank you for your support and for taking the time to check on my project ~

I've been thinking about this and I realize now that you don't mean fullscreen but actually extra-wide screen.

I don't own any of those (and never had), could you detail the issues you're facing and what you would like to see instead?

[NICOHACKER2021]

I want to play GBA games in 16:9 aspect ratio, because I don't really like playing stretching the screen, and I don't like playing with black bars either, so with 16:9 aspect ratio it can improve the experience as well as more detail in the when the screen is extended. EX: N64 with SM64, MK64, etc; NDS with MKDS, NSMBDS, etc.

Do you expect the game to be cropped for it to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio?

[NICOHACKER2021]

Yeah, i guess...

I think he means he wants the emulator to actually display whats beyond the normal aspect ratio of the screen like how bsnes hd does. Probably not something that's easily pulled off though.

Hmm, do you have screenshots or anything to show off what's expected? It's not very clear in my mind sorry 😓

Here's just a random video I found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTVxPhCVSR0
I've never used it but I think the games have to be patched to take advantage of it but when it works it looks pretty nice.

Aaaah! I see! Omg yes that's quite the amount of work 🤔

It would be pretty interesting to have that indeed, I'll keep it in mind in case I find a cool way to do it~

[thydungeonman]

Sure! It would certainly make hades stand out amongst the crowd!

[Arignir]

Definitely yeah!
