Recording Retro Games with OBS

[AnirbanG007]

I've been trying to record some Road Rash footage with OBS. While playing the game, it's fine. Fills up the whole screen and is perfectly playable. When I'm done recording, all I see, is a black screen with a tiny Road Rash window (640x480) in the top left corner. I have a 1080p monitor. I want Road Rash to fill the whole screen, or at least be a full screen box with black bars on either side, along with my webcam feed in the corner. How do I go about doing this?

Are you using window capture, monitor capture or game capture? Is the object still whole screen? Or just the small game window? If it's latter, you can upscale it from object filters.

I'm very new to OBS. I'm using the whole window capture (I hope so). I temporarily fixed it by dragging the window and making it larger. :'D

 

Thanks for the advice, I'll try that out.

Ok, well then it's because your canvas (= the resolution you output) is bigger than the resolution of the game window. So 1080p or 720p for output and 480p for game. Windows is scaling game window, but OBS doesn't do it by default.

 

So manually adjusting the size is the solution, as you might have found out already.
