Default Re: New Resolution Option

The narrow band of mush is what sometimes happens if you are silly enough to have "auto hide" applied to the task bar in Windows. Auto-hide seems to completely screw up the DirectX or Windows systems metrics calls reported for the desktop area.

Ensure that this other emulator does not have auto hide, or it may be that it is sitting in between the game and the driver and playing with the calls somehow. (Perhaps there is an option for it to use a particular specified window size in some sort of INI file?).

Also, you may want to uncheck DirectX and use the GDI mode - your other emulator may be happier with that, especially if it is some sort of thing to mainly run office software on the mac.

Other than that I cannot really help any more - macs and their foibles, like Linux, are not really supported. Only Windows, and it seems your other Windows emulator works fine.

Cheers
Andy
