shroud Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Has anybody tried running GameEx on a projector screen? We're thinking about setting up a projector and screen in the living room, and I am wondering what are people experiences with using GameEx for gaming with a projector. If you do have a projector at home, and you have used it with GameEx and retrogames in general, please share your opinions It would be useful to know also what kind of projector you have, what is your screen size, and other useful arrangements (projector-screen distance, room light conditions...). There are apparently lots of variables involved in setting up a projector at home, so we're trying to sort out if it's a good idea at all, but then it would be nice if we could use it for gaming in addition to using it for movies.

I am kind of gravitating for a 100" screen but I wonder if the sheer size would be too much for MAME and 8bits games... I would guess that nearly everyone gets a 16:9 screen for movies, but then most retro games systems use 4:3 so there'll be black bars. I don't remember if GameEx supports bezels for systems other than MAME.
