Dreamcast ultra widescreen footage

Game is Sonic Adventure 2.

Resolution is 3200X1200 or dual 1600X1200.

Using extra geometery on PowerVR renderer, so it's not stretched.
Sorry my camera sucks.

Something I need to clarify, The screenshot may look impressive for a Dreamcast, However, It's not technically all
Dreamcast. Yes it is a real screenshot from a Dreamcast emulator, and yes it really is 3200X1200, but there has been antialiasing (x8+ temporal+adapative)and anisotropic filtering(x16) applied in realtime via the PCs video card. The corners and edges won't look that smooth when played on a real Dreamcast (or if I disable those enhancements) Nonetheless, it is real footage.

Doing that cuts out the bid of the picture you actually need.

The whole image of the game is visible. The trick is to try to look at the two images and put them togther as if they were one, because it really is one image, just two monitors.

I know what you're saying though, It drives me nuts with FPS games. Platformers for whatever reason, I have no problem playing in this manner

Could you run Bleemcast MGS or Tekken3 with this?

[subcooledheatpump]

I haven't tried running an emulator with an emulator, I'll look into it.

However it might be eaiser for me to run a PS1 emulator directly, although I am not sure how the borders will look, since I'm not sure if a PS1 emulator allows extra geometery to be drawn, so there might be empty space on anything past 4:3.

I had this problem with other Dreamcast games, Sonic Adventure 2 supported the extra geometery the best.

I will try though and thanks for watching

ahh i see, but that totally different, ur running it from an emulator, of course one is able to up the geometery and have it split between two screens.

i thought it was from the actual console itself, which would have been cool :D

[subcooledheatpump]

That would be pretty cool, But likely impossible.

I do know that other consoles can do this though. The disadvantage to doing it that way is you need multiple consoles and multiple copies of the game.

There probably is a way to make a dreamcast do this, but the framerate would likely be too low to play.

so an emulator is a nice alternative, especially when it comes to simplifying gaming machines

my dream setup <3

What is this I don't even.

[youwhatyoulose]

I'm liking this effect bruddah

Slice those cases apart, so you can actually see the middle of the picture like it was one.
