GDEmu - OpenMenu - Title text size?

Post by ItalianGrandma »

I've noticed that some titles in OpenMenu just have a bigger font size and the title gets cut off while others don't?

Is there a way to fix this so that the titles that are cut off can have a smaller font size?

Turn of 16:9 will fix it somewhat and make the text also more legible.

As for the cause of the large text, a thought it was due to the character limit being reached, but it can happen also with shorter title names.

I changed the character limit to 60 for the card manager app so but still happens on some but not others.

Sorry for the confusion, but my screenshots are cropped. My OpenMenu is set to 4:3 already. As for legibility, I'm running S-Video (the Performance cable) into a Retrotink 2X-Pro...I think the blur might just be par for the course there. I've tried adjusting settings on the Retrotink to no avail on that front.

I'll look into the character limit thing to see if it makes a difference! It's interesting because it happens for a game, Fist of the North Star, even though other games with more characters in the titles show with the smaller font size.

Yup make no sense :lol: I changed the font to fix it somewhat and updated the icons to be more legible.

You could try those see if it improves anything.
