Brilliant game. As soon as I saw it and checked the pixel count (320x224), that was it. My project for the day was to get it running in 15khz cathode ray goodness.
And it looks superb. This game is an art piece.

Brilliant game. As soon as I saw it and checked the pixel count (320x224), that was it. My project for the day was to get it running in 15khz cathode ray goodness.
And it looks superb. This game is an art piece.
CRTs with snes controllers sounds fantastic.
I did have trouble centering the image on screen due to the frame being wide with borders. First I set my desktop resolution to 320x224 but when I went full screen this produced:
Lovely to see it was pixel perfect but I lost a third of the screen to the border. I saw in the page source that the embedded app has dimensions of 796x448 (398x224 x2) so I added a modeline in CRTEmudriver and set my resolution to 400x224 (it rejected 398 for some reason). This gave me a full screen squished to the right side. I couldn't adjust the monitor above anywhere near centre, so I moved to a different cab and got it close-ish by tweaking the horizontal pots as much as I could.
I don't suppose the game area could be changed to a 4:3 resolution? Or maybe a downloadable version would make life easier?
I doodled a better explanation...
Rising Up uses 4:3 video, like this:
But currently, it's set to play in bordered widescreen, like this:
I want to play on a 4:3 CRT so I change my screen resolution output to 320x224:
and when I launch the game in full screen, this happens:
So, instead I change my resolution to 400x224:
and now I can launch the game like this:
Using the monitor's geometry controls I can now adjust the h.amp and h.phase to attempt to fill the screen. However CRTs don't really like being adjusted to such an extreme so the resulting image goes a bit:
So my question: Is it possible for me to launch a 4:3 version of the game without borders? Like this:
edit: Thanks Laurent! I spent so long on my pictures I missed your reply. 🤦♂️
Well, I'm not him, but I want to thank you for the official downloadable version. I've downloaded the HTTP version first, learned how to launch my own https server, generate key with SSL and all the jazz, but it is much easier to simply have it in the rar and ready to play.
Are you planning any further updates, should I monitor it? Or is the game pretty much done at this point?
We don't plan on updating it, it's pretty much done.
We could do Mac and Linux builds too if there is an interest.
Otherwise, stay tuned for whatever the team comes up with next 😎
That's awesome. I did see this message in an email notification and intended to reply with a video, but... Christmas and all that, and my cabs are kind of buried right now following a move. I'll check it out asap.
Awesome game, love it!
I also want to run this on my arcade cabinet, looks great:
There are a couple of issues that prevent it looking its best in this setting:
- Controls can't be remapped (many PC cabinets use Ctrl/Alt/Space as the Player 1 button mappings)
- Vsync isn't enabled, resulting in tearing - is there a way to force this from a config file or the command line?
- Starting the game in fullscreen mode gives a 'window in a window' (pic below) which goes away when changing to windowed and back to fullscreen from the pause menu
- Had a few joystick drift issues, maybe the deadzone needs to be increased slightly?
I think it might be possible to get around these with external tools, but would be great to have them fixed in game, especially the Vsync issue. Love the office rage in this game!
(window in window issue below)
OK, managed to sort the control and window issues with some AutoHotKey scripting, that leaves two remaining issues with the standalone version of this awesome game:
- VSync isn't enabled (is there a way to force VSync on for Unity games?)
- Joystick drift (is there away to disable joystick input for Unity games?)
Alright, maybe I'll make another build, but it will be a while.
Im not sure if there is a way to do these things without a build. Maybe you can configure the sync in the os or graphics card settings.
The dead zones, we are using unity's new input system, which settings should be stored in json format. Though I'm not sure if it is stored within the binary.
I'll notify this thread if I make another build 😉
Hey 👋 I just updated the game, so now things are configureable (and I solved a few bugs while I was there)

Regarding VSync; I've exposed the setting, but it seems like vsync is off already?
We do funky things with framerate (by design) so that might interfere with the setup, and there isn't much we can do about that. But you can try and apply the vsync setting.
I played this with a SNES controller too!
