iphone legacy horizontal black bars problem

artwave

Hey all,
after i created a new iphone landscape project , when i preview in iphone legacy mode i see 2 black horizontal bars , how can i remove those bars and let it scale up to fill the screen and just trim a part from the level (from right side) ? thanks

is it a publishing option ? , can you please tell me how to do it ?

This is in Creator Preview, not yet Publishing.



Before you publish though in Gamesalad Arcade, there's an option there for Aspect Ratio Adjustment -- you have to appropriately select either Overscan or Letterbox.



edit: By the way, this trims from both sides by default. You have to make use of Camera tricks if you want to alter this. There are some tips and tutorials on this usually found within threads that tackle Universal Builds. Utilise the forum's Search Function to find those threads if you're interested.

thanks i got it ! , now is there a way to make the camera crop from the right side only instead of from both sides ?

Did you not read the edited portion of my first post? That should have pointed you in the right direction.

Step 1 - Watch and learn from this GSHelper video tackling Overscanning Techniques

Step 2 - Study the Camera functionality of Gamesalad Creator (Specifically, Camera Origin)
