Is winuae able to detect emulated (Amiga) output resolution?
Is possible to winuae to exactly know the resolution is should be outputting as if would be a real amiga? I was thinking about this wondering if it would be possible for winuae changing the host system (Windows, in this case) resolution according to the detected amiga resolution, instead of stretching/scale the screen. After all, if i have a 640x400 mode in Windows, why shouldn't i use it? Knowing the exact amiga "native" resolution, shouldn't be difficult for winuae, with a good heuristic, to choose the best resolution available choosing from the ones on the host system.
This feature could be interesting using devices capable of generating custom resolutions/sync frequencies, as discussed here . |

You asked wrong question
WinUAE does it just like real Amigas do, it outputs single resolution (736x576 or something close enough with 3 possible pixel clock values) with varying sizes of "borders". Problems with autodetection: 1: border is not always real border. 2: background color effects can happen in borders 3: multiple resolutions mixed 4: scrolling can move (invisible "hardware") borders [I think I have replied to similar question at least twice already..] |

Following this reasoning, having a single resolution of 736x576 (50 hz with pal T V) should give the best "nostalgic" result, right? Please, can you specify these pixel clock values (or point me to a place where i can find more info about the topic in general)? Quote:

I meant inside custom chips pixel clock be either 35ns (shres), 70ns (hires) or 140ns (lores). Output signal is still the same (PAL or NTSC)
Only solution for centering/autoresolution is non-trivial AI program that analyzes display data Amiga display hardware is very flexible and many programs do all kinds of tricks with it.. Anyway, perfectly centered screen without borders is not what real Amigas do, everything works as designed |
