Choose one of these three display modes to change
how THEA500 Mini scales the game image. The
amount of scaling applied will depend on the size of
the game image (which varies between games) and
the scaling mode selected. These options do not
alter the aspect ratio of the image.
Fixed size This does not scale the game image, and it will be
surrounded by a black border.
Moderate zoom This will attempt to scale the game image by a
whole number of pixels, but only when it will still t
on the TV screen without being cut o at the top or
bottom. Therefore some game images will appear
the same size as with Fixed size scaling, and others
will be larger. The amount of black border around
the image will vary with the scaling applied.
Note: If the setting Advanced options → Television
settings → Use screen edges is turned o, the
available screen height will be reduced, which
may aect the amount of scaling applied.
Screen t This will adaptively scale the game image so
that it will ll the TV screen from top to bottom,
maximising the size of the image. The scaling
may not be a whole number of pixels, which can
occasionally produce very slight scaling artefacts.
Enabling Image smoothing or CRT eect will remove
these. With this scaling mode, only minimal black
borders are seen to the left and right of the game
image.
Note: If the setting Advanced options → Television
settings → Use screen edges is turned o, the
available screen height will be reduced, which will
slightly reduce the amount of scaling applied.
Enable CRT eect Enables an eect that simulates the scan lines of a
classic CRT screen.
Enable image smoothing Smooths the game image to look less blocky on a
large screen.
Note: These options only aect the appearance of the game image when
being played, not the game carousel, menus, or virtual keyboard.
