Question Getting screen resolution

Under WinUAE there's a way to know the current screen resolution used by game/demo ?

Not really. Most common resolution is 320x256 (640x512 with doubled line mode), but if the game/demo uses overscan modes it can go up to 360x288 (720x576). To fill the screen with only the used screen area you have to adjust it yourself.

Are you sure of that 360x288, perhaps it can be 360x284, since WinUAE default is 720x568 ?

I add, can screen resolution change during the same game/demo ?

Yes, it can. An example is Banshee, which I think has a hires title screen, and is lowres during game play.

I must admit, I prefer the default size, as this appears to be the sharpest. On my 22" widescreen it may look small, but it does me 'cause my eyesight is still 100%. I have dabbled with it a few times but I have always returned to the default, it seems to me to be the best.

I'm talking only about to know the current orizzontal and vertical dimension,
nothing more than just a couple of numbers

Which is the same thing than knowing these numbers and using them for the current screen resolution (like in the thread) So what other use would these info have?

So you're happy with Tony answering "oh, no ! Someone is asking me for that feature again" ?
This doesn't sound like a bug report but more like a feature request...
