    PA problem

    i got this new computer screen, dont know what the dementions are, but for some reason im getting alot more goods and such, and cant do well on songs im used to doing well on

    i then tried stepmania, and that was just crazy, cause the notes were streched downward

    is there any advice to to play these games anymore? cause its really annoying getting misses on uber rave on stepmania, and here

    and is there any way i can change the resolution to make the notes clearer on the new screen?

    Well on the bright side the skill tokens that require many goods and averages will be easier. Other than that sorry I have no clue.


    Style-One hand two fingers (index/middle)
    Average Rank:2,262
    FC-135+38 skill/token
    AAA-14+3 skill/token

          mhm, it doesnt seem like i can make the settings higher quality, all i know, is that the screen is wider downward than most computer screens, its pretty close to sqaure

            You might want to set it to a screen resolution that doesn't "stretch" images.


            800 X 600 , 1024 X 768 , 1280 X 1024

              Assuming your monitor is a flat screen TFT - you may need to set your monitor resolution to its "native" resolution to get the best image quality. This may not be the highest resolution available. You might find the native resolution in the manual or on the box etc.

              In some cases the native resolution is a standard resolution like those listed by FrenzyMidget, in other cases it can be unusual (e.g. 1280x960). You could just try each available resolution and see which is clearest (especially on text).

              If you still need to compensate for vertical stretch, then you can use the monitor's physical settings. There will be a physical button on the monitor that brings up a menu. In this you should be able to resize the screen area, amongst other things. That way you could squash the arrows to normal dimensions again. I can't tell you how to use your monitor's menus as they are all slightly different - just experiment.

                mhm thanks guys! ill try stuff, right now im at 1280 by 1024

                i think i may need something a little more or less than that, but i think ill just get used to the new strech, if its that bad, ill try to fix it later

                  I'm having the same problem. But it's got nothing to do with the new computer and monitor.

                  My PA just crapped out on me.
