Scale for generic sdl build?

[tokumeiwokiboushimasu]

I want to use this emulator with 2x scale. Is it possible? If not, can you add the option please?

[noabody]

I was wondering about 2x scaling on Ubuntu 18.04 x86-64. Best I could come up with was a patch to build the opengl output which normally scales that way.

Not being a programmer, I constructed the LDFLAGS based on various stackexchange questions regarding how to build GL/GLES. Using this patch is something like:

git apply picogl.patch
patch -p1 < picogl.patch

Includes would be like: libglu1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libglew-dev freeglut3-dev

[dilworks]

Is freeglut strictly needed? I managed to compile using your patch on one of my systems that didn't had freeglut3-dev installed by just leaving -lglut out.

[noabody]

Oh, I haven't used that for awhile I guess. You can view my current patch at Picodrive patch.

The relevant part is is limited and extends joystick functionality to the d-pad. The full patch also makes picodrive system install possible on debian with checkinstall:

As a sort of patch while this isn't implemented, in Linux you can use xpra like the following:

xpra start --no-daemon --exit-with-children=True --attach=True --opengl=yes:gtk --desktop-scaling=200% --start-child=PicoDrive

where --desktop-scaling lets you set at which scale you want to run the emulator at.
