Re: [hatari-users] Window resizing

Thanks for your reply. I figured it would be a limitation with the library, looking forward to see the SDL2 switch.

If adding some more software zooming choices isn't too hard that would be nice, I suppose scaling up by some larger integer numbers wouldn't be hard?

Right now the emulator window is really small on today's monitors it kinda breaks the experience when you compare the emulator against Steem SSE for instance since the gameplay area is so small. If there was a way to add some larger zoom levels (up to 1080p) that would be a perfect stopping point until the SDL2 switch.

Thanks

The screen convert functions that take care of the ST/STE resolutions
unfortunately can not scale to arbitrary zoom levels yet. We
theoretically could add some more software zooming here ... but it's
likely easier to wait till we switched to SDL2 by default, since SDL2
supports proper hardware accelerated zooming. So yes, this can be
added, but it will take a while till we get there (since there are some
other issues with SDL2 that I'd like to get solved first).
