Why exactly Falcon & TT screen sizes being different from the ST emulated
screen is bad?  Not just because it's a change to earlier behavior?


Hatari Videl emulation uses integer zooming factors and limits the zoomed
size to your monitor resolution.  I.e. by default it (now[1]) tries to
maximize the emulator window size given the integer scaling limitation.
To what size Hatari window is zoomed therefore depends on:
* The emulated resolution
* Your screen resolution
* The "max zoomed win" size in Hatari screen settings,
  if you've set[2] it smaller than your screen resolution

[1] In Hatari 1.5, the "max zoomed window" size preference was set to
    largest size that emulation could have for ST screen + borders
    (doubled).  Now it's limited only by the screen size.  See the
    configuration.c change here:
	http://hg.tuxfamily.org/mercurialroot/hatari/hatari/rev/43bae6606a2e

[2] If you aren't happy with this, just specify your own max window size
    in preferences.

Btw. I ran the TOS tester only for the old UAE core.
