Virtual Amiga recommended screen size
Hey Amigans,
On the default WinUAE virtual startup, the Amiga desktop is really small. The windows are crammed and dragging files between them is a chore. I want to have a larger "Virtual Desktop" so I can configure things better. What are some optimal screen display settings to have a roomier area? Thank You!! |

It depends on a couple of things, but personally I like to use WinUAE's virtual graphics card and have a Workbench screen the size of the PC's native display. To do that you need to install Picasso96, and the emulated Amiga needs to meet the prerequisites for that (e.g. '020 CPU, OS 3). Aside from that, you can use other native screenmodes - the simplest option is to use interlace and set the overscan preferences to the maximum.

Thats going to be the best screen size and it's the default selected by CoffinOS. Another tip is to go into your UAE settings and change the default screen resolution to the same, otherwise it might mess your font appearance up - Something that always annoys me with UAE and Amiga Forever. |

It depends on what I am doing. I do run 1920 x 1080 Picasso modes for all my productivity tasks. Not all applications support it though. At that point I run PAL Hires with 2x integer scaling. In both cases I like to run with a mask to give a suggestion of a CRT display.
