Game messing up display

[Finder87]

When ever I load Zap2000! It only displays in the top 1/4 of the screen and it splits them so I see double. Other programs/games do fine.

Any idea how to fix it?

some games do that. there's nothing you can do because it has nothing to do with your settings.

well bummer. I tried it a while back and it played fine lol

yeah. i played rifle slugs and it loaded fine the first time but after my clie autoshutoff and i turned it back on, it was top of the screen and double vision.
i'm not familiar with the zap thing but if there are other versions like made for other pdas, you can always try those

I noticed this with a game called Race Fever.
I was able to resolved it by disabling Hi-Res support for that application.
Preferences -> HiRes -> Enable High Resolution Assist.
Hope that helps.

As previous poster has posted, disabling HiRes on them should work.

But Why?
Whenever you see a game splitting half and runs on top of the screen, it means that the game is running in low-resolution mode (160x160). And since your CLIE is running in Hi-Resolution mode (320x320), you are seeing the game runs at the top left corner paired with the doubling effects to the top-right corner.

Games that support Hi-Resolution mode do not have this problem because they have their fix resolution set in 320x320.
