Or just patch it and carry on. It's merely one feature I'm missing out on.

The other one's the real buzzkill.

My bad on that one. Well, not actually. Unexpected hard drive crash and personal mental issues aren't exactly something I should be blaming myself for. Well, preliminary work on getting it going under OS X again (with the Terminal. I figure that Xcode out some day. I promise!): The configure script ...

I was preparing a compatibility release (with a few patches for better OS X functionality), but then decided to wait for 1.51 (although you might see a 1.50). Whenever it comes.

In the meantime, I figured out how to fix the crashing problem with the current code. Turns, out setting SDL_HWSURFACE instead of SDL_SWSURFACE (in sw_draw.c) will give the filter addresses it likes to write to (d'oh!). The SDL_DOUBLEBUF is still a bad idea for OS X, though; with it, HQ2X goes all ...

The ZCONF in configure.in doesn't work. Test sneezes because of the space. You can alleviate this by putting quotes around "x$ZCONF" but then all the automake macros sneeze because of the space.

Also, I accidentally chucked my changes to use pkg-config for libpng. Oops.

All I did was drop in the new code and changed the line in NTSCFilterDraw to say 288 instead of 576 (this yields half a screen instead of 1/4 of a screen; changing it to 144 looks... interesting). Pretty much anything else I tried that seemed like it'd work caused crashage. And me being me, I didn't...

What video card are you using again? Intel GMA 950. The only other things Intel Macs currently use are the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600, the nVidia GeForce 7300 GT 256 MB, the nVidia Quadro FX 4500, and the ATI X1900 XT. One of those last few apparently actually does switch to OpenGL mode with funky c...

Well, I can't put my finger on where exactly the NTSC code is messing up, but I think that it's v0.1.1 of the filter code that somehow messes up the access. If I upgrade the code v0.2.1, it won't crash, but the way in which the mode is rendered to the surface has changed, and I'm not really inclined...

You'd have my eternal respect if you could actually pull it off.

For now you can get full screen by choosing a video mode like 512x448 DR F or 640x480 DR F. I realize this is a little bit of a drag if these are non-native ...
