Re: [hatari-users] Pixel tripling / quadrupling

[Steve <applecrypt99@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I'm on Mac and just tried what you guys are saying and it's not blurry for me. It MIGHT have something to do with the "Max Zoomed" setting under "Display" in the prefs? Mine is set to 1280x960 fwiw (and I used: Hatari --zoom 2 )

that's strange, under Linux I don't get blurry pixels, even at  high
zooming factor.

Maybe there're some SDL 2 options to change this under macOS ?

Let's see if some other users have any idea on this.
