WinUAE adjusting max visible horizontal resolution - is it possible ?

BigT · 25 April 2020, 17:16

I have been looking for a way to have WinUAE allow more visible horizontal pixels to reflect what has been observed on real h/w. It appears that only 360 lowres pixels are visible. Yet on this thread http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=45691&page=2 370 pixels have been seen on real hardware. Is there a setting in WinUAE that allows for the emulator to be adjusted to show these extra pixels ?

I did some tests long time ago and I never managed to get more pixels out of real hardware than what WinUAE shows.

Make sure none of automatic scaling filters are enabled. At least more than 370 is possible.

Thanks for the advice RE: scaling filters. My filter had been set to "Null filter", there was another option set to "Default" which, I also tried changing to "No Scaling". Both combinations yield the 360 horizontal pixels in WinUAE. With that said, there's no major problem here, just exploring what's possible. I'll be unboxing a bunch of real hardware that has been in storage, over the coming weeks and plan to run a few experiments, reporting my findings if there's anything significantly different in terms of H/W vs. WinUAE.
