Request: Add 512x480 D mode to SDL port

AWJ · Post by **AWJ** » Sat Jun 25, 2005 10:40 pm

Would it be possible to add a 512x480 D (doubled) mode to the SDL port? This would allow "true" fullscreen display (no large black border like 640x480) with support for filters and for hires/interlaced SNES modes, without stretching.

"D" isn't 'doubled'. It's just an old legend for 'special effects enabled'.

It's "doubled" in the sense that the image prior to hardware stretching is twice as big, 512x448 instead of 256x224. Anyway, you didn't answer the question.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about, so I don't really have to answer it.

Let me try again. Suppose a user has defined a 512x480 custom modeline in their xorg.conf. Would it be feasible to make ZSNES support this mode? Can SDL use any arbitrary screen mode that is available on the host system, or only a delineated list of standard (e.g. VESA) modes?

Possibly.

I believe SDL can use anything available.

Now I'd be happy if someone would add 640x480 DR FULL, 640x480 ODR FULL, 800x600 ODR FULL, 1024x768 ODR FULL, 1280x1024 ODR FULL.

I thought 640x480 DR was what I was using right now.

(checks)

No, it's apparently 640x480 DS. What's the difference? I thought I had at least a vague idea what ZSNES' various modes were, but according to grinvader I don't.

Apparently that even though this is right on your screen in the video selection menu, you seem to not notice or read it.

Like I said, I thought I knew what the modes were, but apparently I'm confused. On my machine, 640x480 DS FULL displays a 512x448 image in the centre of the screen with a black border around it. It is not stretched to fill the screen.

Sounds like you're using an outdated version of ZSNES.

If 640x480 FULL really is stretched in newer builds, that sounds like a regression to me

512x448 stretched to 640x480 looks ugly as shit...

There is no 640x480 FULL.

Whatever says S is stretched, whatever says R isn't.

My copy of ZSNES has mode labeled 640x480 DS FULL, which is what I am using. This mode is not stretched to fill the entire screen; it has a black border.

Your statement is not related to mine which you quoted.

I might also add I answered this question already.

Well, this can mean one of two things (you should do both, at minimum, the latter)

Do as Nach suggested and get a hold of the latest copy of ZSNES..

Then, you need to delete the configuration files that ZSNES generates (I don't know their exact names, but they end in a .cfg and .dat) so you can start fresh.

Under Linux, wouldn't it be zguicfgl.dat and zsnesl.cfg?
