Stuck on grey screen on startup

Post by ChrisGamer »

for some unknown reason when i try increase or decrease the size window from 640x480 to something much bigger or smaller then 640x480 or increase or decrease the size of ram from 8 to somewhere like 4 or 16 it just get stuck on grey screen

idk how to upload a image so theres no images for my issue

it only works if the size window is 640x480 or the ram size is 8 mb, witch kinda sucks

Do you use SDL2? Could you share your preferences? What build do you use? What host OS is yours?

In cebix upstream BII (https://github.com/cebix/macemu), SDL2 was added. You could use any arbitrary resolution in guest OS and then adjust the window size to zoom in/out.

For example, in my case I runs on Mac OS X as host. I set guest OS in 900x500. Then I adjust the Windows size to zoom in or even make it full screen. I found this 900x500 works well for my 1080p physical screen.

Below is my prefs
