Full screen not scaling correctly

Post by mtonak »

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

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.

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