Fix Cutscene/Black Box

[tashi_108]

   
Hey guys, can anyone help me identify the cause of this problem and how to fix it? The cutscenes are not cutout properly and this black horizontal black line covering the top half :/

crop 1px top and it should be fine

I think the problem is the emulator is cutting out the scenes in the first place, as in the black horizontal boxes placed over the scenes shouldn't be there in the first place cause I can clearly see the scene bleeding in the background of the box. SO maybe there's a way to get rid of the cuts completely cause that's the problem since I'm loosing the full image.

I'm not saying so, it's blatantly evident.

There's no need to be rude.

A quick search would show you that it's how the videos are setup in the game. https://youtu.be/_nXBeIXT48I?t=258 and many others.
The game itself is played at full screen but some of the the videos are squeezed by the black rectangles.

As a matter of fact if you look at the E3 trailer from 2004 which is certainly not been running inside of pcsx2 emulator... you'll see the cutscenes having these same rectangles vs gameplay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plDUL1j7lKs

Rude? I felt like dude's snarky comment was uncalled for. Anyways you're right, I guess there's no way around it. Does your emulator do the same with certain games?

Thanks for your help.

sorry. i misunderstood your issue.
that thin line at the top will appear when upscaling.

set to native/software mode, and it should go away (or use the crop feature)
if you're looking for a way to remove "black bars", then it's different.
Boot the game on your real console, you'll understand why you can't

Yea I realized why after the fact. Thanks again, take care.
