4:3, 16:9 or multiple of native res?

I play FFX at 4x or higher native res at 16:9 with 16x MSAA and looks good.

As for what the P stands for. Yeah I got it wrong and you two are right.

I'll just quickly add that converting from 4:3 to 16:9 causes things to become wide. on people it usually looks like they suddenly became too fat. If you go from 16:9 to 4:3 they suddenly lost all their fat, and grew taller. Not real important to know, but i just thought i'd throw it out there.

I think you monitor is fault their then. Or something is because it should NOT do that. I can post you a pic of my FFX in widescreen (16:9). And the will not look fat.

^It looks stretched there buddy. As for NormO there is a widescreen patch thread you can look for. There constantly adding new patches for ps2 games to be display in real 16:9. It will solve your problem.

I'll admit some games do it worse than others. I shouldn't have made a generalization and said everything does it. Sorry about that.
Thanks for the heads up jadentheman.
Here's what i mean. This is MK Deception and i didn't turn on widescreen support in the game which would solve the stretched or fat look.

What pc specs do you have? I also use a widescreen hack for FFX, but I use the .elf hack from here as it looks better than a pnach patch. Made my FPS drop quite a bit though, so I'm not sure I can play at MAX settings anymore. 4x MSAA and FXAA looks good enough to me in HD.

Its not a hack but just normal settings through the emulator itself. So its not true widescreen. However though. I will test out the hack and see if I can still play it at those settings I mentioned though.

Edit: I know tested out the hack and it works. DO I get any FPS drops because it? No I do it. I still play the game fine at full 60fps even at 5x native res with 16x MSAA on.

As for my specs.

Yeah those specs seem very good. Enjoy widescreen.
