Thanks for the tip, I downloaded Jerome Vernets 10.6 build (Universal) 
which is using SDL1. And indeed then --force-max works, almost.

There is a bug in all versions of Hatari I've tried; if you record a 
Falcon video, and it change the screen size, the recording will abort if 
you are using 32-bit rendering. Only with 16-bit the recording will 
continue. Yes this is with --force-max.

I verified it in macOS and my friend Maciej Moczkowski says it behaves the 
same in Linux.

Ok, it's not critical, but some Falcon graphcis will be using the 
256-colour mode which has 18-bit colour depth and hence will not be 
recorded as intended.


PS. The download for the 10.6 Universal build of Hatari has 
"hatari-2.0.0_osx_pcc.zip" as filename, I guess it should really be "ppc" 
and not "pcc" right?
