*''Aspect Ratio'': You can select the window aspect ratio (shape) here. If you have a widescreen (16:9) monitor you may want to remove the left and right black bars to get a better experience. Unfortunately many games do not natively support wide screen aspect ratio and selecting it here will cause the image to stretch which may not be a desirable side effect. Some games however may be helped to support 16:9 resolution by special ''widescreen patches'' made by the community. If the game neither have the native 16:9 support nor the patch to overcome this your only options are to play it with 4:3 aspect ratio with black bars or bear with image stretching whichever option is the best for you. | *''Aspect Ratio'': You can select the window aspect ratio (shape) here.

You can choose ''Standard (4:3)'', ''Widescreen (16:9)'' or ''Fit to Window/Screen'' here. In the latter case image will always be stretched. | ||
{{Tip|For more information regarding widescreen patches, please check: [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-PCSX2-Widescreen-Game-Patches ''Widescreen Game Patches''] forum post }} | |||
{{Tip|If you have downloaded widescreen patch (a file with ''pnach'' extension) you should place it into '''cheats_ws''' folder of your PCSX2. This way you will be able to enable cheats and widescreen patches (essentially cheats as well) separately for any game. To enable patches from '''cheats_ws''' folder select ''Enabled Widescreen Patches'' item in ''System'' sub-menu of PCSX2 main menu}} | |||
*''Custom window size'': This option lets your define the GS window size in pixels. Note the this does not affect the game's rendered resolution, image quality or speed in any way. Your game sessions will always start with the window size you have selected here. | |||
*''Zoom'': This option will zoom in or out the rendering image (around the central point). It may help in certain situations (decrease black bars for instance by zooming them out of the view). You can also use this feature while in game by pressing ''Ctrl'' and '' numpad +'' to zoom in, ''Ctrl'' and ''numpad -'' to zoom out and ''Ctrl'' and ''numpad <nowiki>*</nowiki>'' to reset zoom too 100%. | |||
*''Custom window size'': | {{Tip|There is also hidden key combination to stretch GS window while in game only vertically. Use ''Ctrl'' + ''Alt'' and ''numpad +'', ''numpad -'' and ''numpad *'' to increase, decrease or reset vertical stretch. This option may be useful when you need to remove vertical top and bottom black bars but please remember that the image itself will get stretched and will lose original proportions.}} | ||

*''Disable window resize border'': This option will remove the black bars used as resizing padding from the GS window. | |||
*''Always hide mouse cursor'': This will disable drawing the mouse cursor anywhere within GS window. This may be helpful if the mouse is used for aiming in game. | |||
*''Hide window when paused'': With this option enabled, the GS window will be hidden whenever emulation is paused. | |||
*''Default to fullscreen mode on open'': This will instruct PCSX2 to start emulation in ''full screen'' mode. Switch back to ''windowed'' mode by pressing ''Alt'' + ''Enter''. | |||
*''Double-click toggles full screen mode'': Enables to use ''double-click'' to switch between ''full screen'' and ''windowed'' modes (along with ''Alt'' + ''Enter'') | |||
*''Disable window resize border'': | *''Wait for vsync on refresh'': When checked, PCSX2 will use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_television#Vertical_synchronization ''vertical synchronization''] when drawing frames. ''Vsync'' can reduce image tearing but will also greatly reduce actual FPS. This option will only apply to ''full screen'' mode and may not work with all GS plugins. | ||
