Title: snes9x fullscreen?
Post by: shrubbery on May 18, 2004, 11:09:20 am

Hi all!

I\'d like to start by saying a big thankyou to everyone involved in the fantastic pdaXrom project and all of the people contributing to the community - I aquired an 860 last week and have been loving it thanks to you guys!

I am having a bit if trouble getting snes9x to operate fullscreen. I have created a shell script using the -xs 320 -ys 240 options (as with the QT ROM) but instead of displaying fullscreen I get a smallish window in the centre of the screen (maybe a quarter of the full size).

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks again,

the shrub

Is snes9x an SDL application? If so, try running it directly from the console, without X running.

If I try this then I get an error message:
\"Could not initialise SDL(Unable to open mouse)\"

Any ideas?

Oh, forgot to mention. Just do

export SDL_NOMOUSE=1

before running.

Thankyou so much for that - exactly what I needed.

I did have a trawl of the web myself looking for SDL environment variables to try and do this but couldn\'t find anything - do you have any idea where they might be listed?

Is there any way of getting rid of the black and white pointer in the top left of the screen?

There is a link to them on libsdl.org, it\'s a frequently asked question, actually

SDL doesn\'t draw anything on the screen by itself, so it\'s likely a snes9x problem. Try tweaking it, maybe there is an option to turn the pointer off or something... And in case nothing could help, you can always patch the source and recompile
