therevillsgames	Anyone got a monitor that runs a 4k res? 3840x2160? One of my players is having issues with a BlitzMax game and setting it to full screen (32bit) at that resolution, but the only one I have to this runs at 3440x1440 but it runs okay at that.

Jayenkai	MacBook Air can run Windows games at up to 3420x2140, but is quite sketchy at that... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

therevillsgames	Thanks Jay, could you try running this bit of code: SuperStrict ?Win32 Extern "win32" Function GetDesktopWindow:Int() Function ReleaseDC(hwnd:Int, hdc:Int) End Extern ? Function ccGetDesktopSize:Int(width:Int Var, height:Int Var) ?win32 'by hamZta / d-bug from DesktopExtension 1.12 Local hwnd:Int = GetDesktopWindow() Local hdc:Int = GetDC(hwnd) If hdc = Null Then Return -1 width = GetDeviceCaps(hdc, HORZRES) height = GetDeviceCaps(hdc, VERTRES) ReleaseDC(hwnd,hdc) ? ?MacOS macGetDesktopSize(Varptr width,Varptr height) ? Return 1 'success (probably) End Function Global WindowWidth:Int = 800 Global WindowHeight:Int = 600 Global DesktopWidth:Int = 0 Global DesktopHeight:Int = 0 Global Hertz:Int = 60 Global Depth:Int = 0 ccGetDesktopSize(DesktopWidth, DesktopHeight) WindowWidth = DesktopWidth WindowHeight = DesktopHeight Local OK:TGraphics = Null Print "Trying full screen at " + WindowWidth + "x" + WindowHeight + " 32bits..." If GraphicsModeExists(WindowWidth, WindowHeight, 32) Then Local ms:Int = MilliSecs() DebugLog "start" OK = Graphics(WindowWidth, WindowHeight, 32, Hertz) DebugLog "end = " + (MilliSecs() - ms) Depth = 32 Else Print("Oh noes") EndIf If OK Repeat Cls DrawLine(0, 0, WindowWidth, WindowHeight) Flip Until AppTerminate() Or KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) Else Print("Oh noes") EndIf --v

therevillsgames	Hmm, so found out I can "fake" 4k using the NVIDIA control panel... Running the above code in debug mode it outputs: Trying full screen at 3840x2160 32bits... and displays the screen... Trying full screen at 3840x2160 32bits... DebugLog:start DebugLog:end = 66 running in release mode: Trying full screen at 2560x1440 32bits... and fails, but it doesnt go into the If statement :? Trying full screen at 2560x1440 32bits... Oh noes Oh noes

therevillsgames	So release mode looks like it is picking up the desktop scaling (ie 150%).

Jayenkai	Sorry, sleepy tonight!!! I'll see what I can see in the morning. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Not getting any issues at all from the MacBook, so either it's not quite HD enough, or the MacBook's doing things that it likely shouldn't be doing whilst emulating. (Likely that!!) Doing my blog&shitz, and will attempt an alternative in an hour or so. Haven't tried plugging the ROGally into the 4K telly, yet, and honestly no idea if it'll do 4K output over USB-c based HDMI.. !!? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Sorry, Mr Rogally's not been a very good ally, this morning. I'm going to give up, I'm afraid. > Reveal 🔎 If I plug in the dock, I only seem to be able to get 1920x1080 out of it to the telly. If I plug in a HDMI 4K USB cable, I do indeed get 4K to the telly, but then all kinds of crazy shit starts happening. My god, I thought Multiple-Monitors was bad the last time I used Windows, but Win11 makes everything infinitely worse. I can't, for the life of me, get things from Monitor 1 (which is automagically disabled on the Rogally itself when you hook up a 4K TV) over onto Monitor 2 (which is the 4K display). I think I need to relearn my Windows-Fu to help you with this one. Sorry -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
