All of the games I have tried for project64 1.6 are not centered. the n64 logo at the start of the games is halfway off the screen and the game text and menus are halfway of the screen (right side) I have searched for this issue but have not found an answer. The games themselves play fine except the half the screen is missing. I have tried diffent screen dimensions but that has not fixed the problem. Any help would be nice. thanks

It could also be that you have a anisotropic filtering or full-scene antialiasing on, or on the wrong setting. My graphics card does that too, on certain filtering settings, depends on your card as what to set them at.

this was already said, but to be more specific.
the screen refresh rate, if you change it the screen's position is moved (example as with windows 9x,2k,xp) you can see the refresh rate (that a monirot is using) by
display(properties)>settings(tab)>advanced(button)>monitor(tab)
check the refresh rate (hertz) & set pj64's refresh rate to the same.
also, is the computer a latop or wide screen? they can somtimes do strang things (being a new thing, or maybe that was just one monitor)
also are you using dual monitors? that would make sense if it is, check & make shure its not enabled
my bros old laptop could go up to 1900x????, its native was 1024x768. it did this by scrolling the screen with the mouse, i thought that was strang (he forgot it did that, but his memory tends to suck at certain things)

as always make shure your monitor/screen can acualy display the resolution & refresh rate (correctly that is)
hope this helps, or points you in the right direction
hope i didn't get off subject :)

Did you check your graphics card settings, some cards will override application settings, like if you use antialiasing on your card but not the setting in pj64 it will still show in whatever antialiasing mode the card is set to. What I posted above was referencing to PJ64's settings. Not to say you haven't checked this as well, just thought I would get that out of the way as well. My graphics card has a setting for global or individual application settings. The screenshot you posted is exactly what my card does if I enable anisotropic or antialiasing to a particular setting, not all settings (2x,3x,4x etc.) it only does this with 2 of them. I believe it was only w/ antialiasing though. Check through all your video card settings, that image definitely shows that one of those settings is on.

that actually looks like the resolution is to high for that window ....

it also looks like SSAA is enabled.. which isn't the brightest idea for a window....

That's possible, but usually when the resolution is too high or low for a monitor the monitor goes blank, and the green light goes yellow. He should be able to get it straight by playing with some settings. He just hasn't found the right one yet. If all else fails, you could try reinstalling.

it could be the way the plugin is reporting to the driver?

i honestly think Jabo should make a Dx9 plugin, becoz Dx8 will become ALOT slower under Vista,... i've already seen the performance of some Dx8 titles drop.

That fixed it. The individual application setting was not on which is odd because I know I had that set. Now I know why my jedi academy game was going nuts.

Thanks.
