Feature request: Control resolution

[patheticaesthetic94]

It would be great if we were able to configure the emulator to output at it's native resolution rather than upscaled. On smaller devices like the Brick I prefer to see the original chunky pixels as intended rather than the smooth upscaled graphics. I also imagine this would have a slight performance increase.

Popping in a menu option to configure this would be great!

I've noticed that your can almost do that by changing that line to something like resolution=640x480! (And yes, it does bring big performance improvements from my short test)

Line 35 in 5c4f7ea

resolution="$(get_resolution)"

Sadly this results in the game's video output being squished into a small box of that size on the screen with huge black bars. If anyone shares a workaround I could try working on this in a PR :)

This is now implemented in 0.6.0 via the in-game menu and aspect-ratio cycling shortcuts. Please file a ticket if you find any issues.

Thanks a lot for your work!

I'm using 0.6.1 and I can't find the settings to lower the resolution but from skimming through the commit log it looks like lower resolutions are applied by default when using GLide64 instead of Rice. So is "GLide64 = lower res" correct?

Also, after launching a game, editing the settings, exiting, and relaunching the same game, it'll crash every time unless I delete the file inside per-game settings directory so I can't test it. No info on why the crash is happening in the logs afaik. Is that what you fixed in 6d255bd? (I'm using a TrimUI Brick if that matters)

[josegonzalez]

Yep, thats where it was fixed.

Will reopen to see about changing resolution, i guess the aspect ratio is not enough here :)
