Picked up a Hyperkin Dreamcast cable that outputs via HDMI. I tried it out and it’s displaying in this tiny box on my TV. The box on the cable has no settings and the TV is a 1080 Sony Bravia.
I’m not sure what options I have aside from stretching the image via the TV settings but if anyone can assist, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
What was your input situation before?
Dreamcast outputs at 480i/p which looks about that size on a 1080 display. I think your TV is running in just-scan display mode which is just displaying what it gets pixel for pixel. I’m guessing whatever you used for input before made the TV auto scale itself, but now it’s not on HDMI.
Change the TV to fill and live with it. It’s gonna be a bit blurry.
I was using an RCA cable output prior to this. It worked great, though was lower quality of an image than I would’ve liked.
I’ll have to check the display mode on the tv and see if any other options exist. I did play it in Fill mode which kept the 4:3 resolution but I feel like that sorta defeats the purpose of using hdmi.
If your game isn’t 16:9 then your video won’t be. Nothing about HDMI means you’re automatically going to get high def widescreen.
