Re: [hatari-users] Window resizing

[Miguel Cardoso <miguel_cardosso@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Thing is I don't want to use fullscreen because I want to use it with RocketLauncher to have bezels support this means it needs to be run in windowed mode. This is a very common usage for emulators especially when you have a dedicated arcade cabinet and right now Steem SSE takes the advantage on Hatari because it can be used like this.

I got a bit confused after seeing this post:

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/782

Seems 1.9 final already has SDL2 support?

Thanks!

Hi,

For good experience you should switch to fullscreen.  This grabs the
mouse and selects resolution closest to Hatari window size which your
monitor will scale to fullscreen (on slow machines letting the monitor
do scaling provides fastest results).

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.
