[Feature Request] Custom Borders #1124

Open LOuroboros opened 5 years ago

Hi, I just noticed that the GB/GBC Emulator "BGB" allows to use custom borders, and remembering that for example the old VBA and RetroArch allows that too, I thought that it'd be cool to have custom borders in the standalone versions of mGBA.

Here's a picture showing how custom borders look in BGB. bgb_2018-07-10_08-22-47

Just would like to add a +1 to this, even if it was a single image that could be used for any GB/GBC game that does not have a border, just to have all game-sizes be standard, that would be great.

Using custom borders in pixel perfect screen mode in 3ds would be great. You could have the option to choose a background image. It would be nice.

This is mostly implemented in 0.11-dev now, with some caveats:

No mGUI support yet
The border loaded is always going to be the same pixel density as the system (at least at 1x scale), so will probably want to turn off SGB borders when using it, otherwise you'll wind up with a massive border, or it'll bleed off the top/bottom of the screen (which I want to fix by cropping it, if desired, but that's not implemented yet)
One shared border for all available systems and screen resolutions, which will make borders that have a built-in bezel look...very weird when other systems are loaded.

is this also available on the switch mGBA

Not yet. That + the other homebrew platforms is why this ticket is still open.
