How I mean is this: I run ArcadeOS on my arcade monitor
using Mame. I try to run the game Blazing Star(neogeo)
In 16 bit mode(selected in game cfg within arcadeos)
the arcade screen is split in 2 w/ half on one side,
and half on the other. Now, if I select 8 bit, it fits
like normal on my screen. Why do these 2 settings differ
on the screen?No resoultion changes the screen in
16bit mode, its always split in 2. I noticed the quality
of the game running in 8bit mode was not that great. I
belive in the game info. screen the game was intended
to be 16bit. I guess what I might be asking is, can
an arcade monitor not handle 16bit? Any clarification
would be great.
