So it isn't limited to the Dolphin emulator.
FULLSCREEN PCSX2 EMULATOR SOFTWARE
Looks fine when I set the recording software to my native resolution, though (PCSX2 is set at a resolution beyond my monitors, though): Again, it sets a space for 2160 but it doesn't actually record or upscale the image to fill it all out.

The image is at least centered, but Im pretty sure its at 1080p. So I tried doing this with PCSX2.Here's the results with the internal resolution set at 2160p and the recording software set to record at that resolution: I think at the very least the fact taht the video refuses to play in that small window is a software issue. Ive got the game running at an internal resolution of 2160 and even applied some AA, so I figured that even upscaling it shouldn't damage it much. So Anyway, I can't figure out if its a problem with the emulator or the program refusing to upscale the image. Its roughly 976 by 562, which is roughly the games normal resolution. Thing is, I'd buy that argument if it weren't for the fact that in that image the games window ISNT at 1080p.

So I have the full screen resolution set at 1920 by 1080 and the game running in full screen, while recording at a much higher resolution. Here's what the problem MIGHT be: Dolphin allows you to set a games internal resolution up to 2112p, but it will only allow you to set your fullscreen resolution up to your monitors own. It might play a second or two of footage in that small window, and then it stops, whilst the audio continues. Problem is it doesn't actually record any video. The image IS at 3840 by 2160, so it did record in a larger resolution. But when I set the custom recording resolution in the program to 3840 by 2160 and then launch the title (making sure Dolphin recognizes my dedicated GPU in the process), I get this: Everything looks fantastic and I'm amazed that I haven't gotten any slowdown in game with a high bit-rate whilst using the software. I'm only telling you all this because it might have something to do with it.Īnyway, I can record gameplay and sound and everything fantastically in my monitors resolution. Since OBS required the game to be played on the same card being used in-game, I would get a black screen when recording until Dolphin would list my dedicated card in the graphics options. You essentially have to 'wake up' the dedicated card from its idle mode and then launch the title. Dolphin has this pesky issue whereby it won't detect dedicated laptop GPU's if intergrated graphics are also on-board. So I wanted to do the same with Super Smash Bros.
