GameEx always overwrites my NullDC res to 640x480

[mczuzlak]

Everytime I start GameEx it'll always overwrite my NullDC res to 640x480.

Even if I set manualy 1024*768 in the nullDC.cfg file. After I launch GameEx it will be set to 640*480.

How can I disable this ? In the GameEx configuration menu I've set dont change resolution but that didn't worked.

try setting the cfg-file to read-only, by right-clicking its properties

edit: most often when a program does something like this, it is because of a conflict somewhere somehow. So try it, and if it works i guess don't sweat it and be happy, but if not try and find the conflict within. It helps to bring up the console and see where and why it changes resolution.

It sounds like your using my loader, it changes the res to 640 480 on launch, it is actually part of the design. NullDC will not go into fullscreen mode without defining a resolution. There is no default resolution defined when you download the emulator. Without it the emulator would crash. Since alot of users here have arcade monitors 640 480 is the highest resolution some will support, I wanted to make it compatable for most people.

Making the config file readonly may not be a good idea as the loader injects data to the INI. If you can verify your commandline you are using to launch the emulator, and it turns out to use the loader I will post the loader source and update the distribution. Then anyone can make changes to its behavior.

Hope this explanation helps.

You're right I'm using the loader

Good to know why I could't set it higher no matter what I've changed in the menu.

It almost drived me crazy

Updating the loader so that it supports higher res would be more than kind.

thx

Well, I deleted my source on accident, Im looking to undelete it, rather than take a few to remake it. I will/should have this done before the weekend. If anyone wants to take a crack at decompiling it here is my INI that has the settings needed. If not Ill re-write it and post the source is a safe spot.
