Sega Megadrive (Genesis) emulator that crops PAL overscan?

Gew · February 18th, 2013, 19:25

Hi!

I've tried various emulators; Fusion, Gens, among others. They are all neat and all, but one thing bothers me, overscan on European titles. It's no problem with NTSC titles, as i.e. the Fusion "NTSC aspect" setting under options automatically cuts it right. However, this setting has no affect when running "(E)" games, but then I get either black padding in the top/bottom, or some sort of overscan artifact, or grey padding.

Is there any setting (that I'm unaware of) that could help me out with this in Kega Fusion or Gens/Gens32? Or perhaps some other Genesis/Megadrive emulator that handles this? Anyone with experience? Or would I be all out of luck?

Cheers!

It is hard to do when the game itself to be coded to have overscan and at times to have it different sizes, for an emulator to do it when it will work few titles and then another game it will be cropped too much or too little....

The only time I have seen mega drive games that had the cropping removed is when the game is when the games have been patched/hacked.
