Which resolutions do you use/want to use?

Aerdan · Post by **Aerdan** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 10:26 pm

[EDIT: On second thought, this needs to be a poll as to what resolutions people use.]

256x224
256x239
320x240
512x448
512x478
640x480
768x672
768x717
800x600
960x720
1024x768
1024x896
1024x956
1280x960
1280x1024
Other

[EDIT: Yes, I'm aware that some of these aren't actually in ZSNES right now, but the ones that aren't will be, and the modes that aren't listed will be removed unless someone can demonstrate that we *must* support them.]

No, since either my monitor and/or drivers does not seem to support such a low resolution. ZSNES crashes when I select 256x224 R Full.

Edit: Since this thread has changed a bit since I posted: I always use 1280x1024, 60Hz+vsync+HQ4x.

Old votes didn't get erased.
Those who voted, please post and tell which you'd vote for now.

I voted 512x448, since I always use that resoloution.

800x600 DS just like my monitor.

If someone removes 800x600, they have a death wish.

1280x1024 DS just like my TFT.

Why must we support 800x600?

Because it's a standard res that works on machines with 15" monitors and stuff like I have lying around.

I use both 640x480 (native res on my laptop. Yes, I know, really old), and 1024x768 on my good PC.

512x448 DR Win
this is the best one that my 4 megabyte video memory can handle
but i remember that a translation (i belive Secret of Rudras) don't look good with that resolution so for some time i used another resolution before i change back

I use ZSNES on two computers. For one I have to use 320x240, in the DOS version, to make it as fast as possible. Resolutions any lower than that aren't faster, because they aren't Vesa2. ModeQ doesn't work at all; it just makes it unviewable. ModeX, whatever that is, has to stay; ZSNES defaults to it when VESA2 doesn't work, such as under WinXP or on a PC that doesn't have MMX support (since the option is enabled in ZSNES by default).

By the way, could Vesa2 and/or ModeX support in 256x224 be added for DOS, since this is the SNES resolution (and because Vesa2 is fastest and ModeQ is incompatible for me)?

The other PC runs the Windows version at full speed, so I stick with 640x480 Full (stretched) to allow for video filters (I prefer Interpolation). I don't need any other resolution for full-screen, really, but my windowed resolution varies.

What about multiple PC users, like me? Someone needs to vouch for those low resolutions... Is that how I should vote?

I'd say "Vote for the lowest resolution you use", or vote for "Others" and state what you use in the thread.

Neo Kaiser · Post by **Neo Kaiser** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 1:30 am

Well I have a 17" Monitor but I use 800x600 because it looks better and fonts are at regular size. I wonder what resolution I would need for a Plasma TV.

Even though my monitors res is 1280*1024, 640*480 DR has always been fastest for me.

Well, the way ZSNES gets its resolution has been unified into one file...finally, so it's possible that we can inflict VESA2 on 256x224.

I used to play at 1024x768 DS FULL, but now at 640x480 DS FULL and Interpolation filter... It's enough for me.

640x480 DS FULL on my Pentium 4 2400 MHz
640x480 DR FULL on my Celeron 850 MHz

On my Pentuim MMX boxes, I used to use the lowest setting I could. On my new box, I use 512x384. I don't really need anything too big, or too small, unless I have to.

Cecil · Post by **Cecil** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 3:27 am

I use 1024x768, same as my monitor.

Aerdan · Post by **Aerdan** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 3:30 am

People, people, people...

*PLEASE* vote in the poll unless you don't see an option for the mode you use....

Gil_Hamilton · Post by **Gil_Hamilton** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 3:33 am

I'd like to see a 512*448 fullscreen mode, if it's possible.
Currently using 640*480 fullscreen.

We are divorcing windowed/fullscreen from the video modes thing. *sigh*

JAPPsmash · Post by **JAPPsmash** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 3:42 am

What I'd like to see is 320x240 and Small Screen

blackmyst · Post by **blackmyst** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 3:52 am

640x480 stretched fullscreen (or at least horizontally)

Because that's the only resolution that properly supports scanlines (my hardware doesn't allow 1280x960).
