Just picked this sucker up and it's great fun obviously although I'm somewhat curious of the resolution bug  Now I hope it's a bug anyway, the screen seems to be like, on the right. There's like the whole screen is shifted on the right and a large black space is on the left. NO other NTSC-U game I have does this. Oh, on a sort off similar thing, Hexen seems to have massive black boarders considering it's supposed to be a US 60hz game. As does Doom on the US system. Can you guys confirm this for me?  |

It's normal for Tomb Raider.

Ah fair enough. I guess they screwed up programming the screens positioning etc.

It's some kind of resolution thing. I forget the details though.

It was an attempt at hiding the graphics lol.

Doom and Hexen have big fat borders on the left and right side of the screen when I play it on my widescreen TV. I guess they were just trying to use less space so it would be less taxing on the system. Luckily my TV has an option to stretch the screen out vertically and horizontally, so I can hide these borders pretty easily if I want to. ;D

i always thought that art looks better if you print it on elastic, and then distort it so it looks shit.
but no, the borders are because when the saturn was out, widescreen wasn't standard, so most peoples TVs were 4:3, and thus that it the ratio that the saturn outputs. the borders are there because the picture has the same ratio, regardless of how wide your screen is.

That's the one thing I didn't mention however. ;D It's an option that I use very sparingly, because it can quickly become a mess of pixels. Besides, my TV does have an option to play in 4:3, so why bother with widescreen when you can play it in the correct ratio it was meant for? |

glad to see that we're on the same page. i have a friend who always stretches his image, because the black borders make him feel like he is missing something... it drives me crazy. |

I think there are some games you can get away with stretching the image on and others not, it really depends, in abstract games like Rez you can hardly notice it because it's all just blotches of colour and lines anyway.
