Full screen not scaling correctly

I just set up Basalisk II last night and everything was running fine but now when I use full screen mode, it doesn't scale properly. Depending on what I set the resolution too, it is either super tiny and in a corner of my screen, or is too large and is cropped. I can't think of anything that I changed but full screen mode was working fine previously. Windowed mode still works as expected.

Here's what I have in my prefs file:

Code: Select all

extfs /Users/mtonak/Desktop/BasiliskII/Shared
screen dga/0/0

Any help is appreciated!

Was it working fine before on the same host, same hardware, same OS? If not, what is different now?

Isn´t "dga/0/0" rather odd?
I would make it dga/1600/1200 or similar, depending on your display´s hardware resolution.
You will have to set the screen res on the Mac side too usually, once the Mac has booted.
Not a big thing. Control Panels / Monitors / Options it is in 7.5.5 methinks.

dga/0/0 is the regular setting for maximum size full screen at the actual host screen resolution. It may not work as expected on ultra high resolution (Retina) screens.

So I switched it back to 1024x768 (which I had done several times before) and it is working now. It even works on maximum.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for the fast responses!

It happened again. I added a new volume in BasiliskIIGUI and clicked Start and everything was cropped off again. I then tried removing the volume but it was still cropped.

I use Crashplan to backup my computer so I'm going to try rolling the prefs file back to a copy from yesterday to see if that fixes it.

Just had a similar issue after removing my now obsolete SCSI HBA from a W98SE rig.
Mac screen way too large and W98SE frozen.
I did delete Basilisk II prefs and Mac pram and it looks fine for now.


Off topic:
Any takers for a Tekram DC-315U? http://www.tekram.com/dc-315u-ultra-scsi-host-adapter/

I've had this issue before and needed to delete the pram file to fix it. Prefs file can stay.
