WinUAE sizing issue on Windows 10

Tchucolate · 09 November 2022, 18:13

I am trying to run WinUAE on Windows 10, with scaling set to 150%, I have 2 monitors. A 4k, which is my main screen, and a 1600 x 1200 Dell monitor, rotated, and used as a side screen. When WinUAE loads it is stuck in a very small window, and I cant really get any use out of it. The UI is so mangled, and there does not seem to be any prefs to adjust to fix it. Is there a known work around for this issue?

Some recent version handles on the fly DPI changes badly (I think 4.9.x have it fixed).

You can reset UI settings by running winuae from command line with -resetgui (4.4.0+) command line parameter. Or by overriding registry settings by creating empty file winuae.ini in same directory as winuae.exe (or if you already have winuae.ini, delete and re-create it)
