Looks and sounds now amazing... Could you make the image resolution dynamic or configurable, so it would also be fullscreen on a rg350m? On that device currently only 1 quarter of the screen is being used, I assume due to the difference in size between rg350 and rg350m ...

That's odd. I've had reports of it working on an M version. Are you running the standard firmware or custom? Its tricky to test all the variants as I only have the original model. I'll take a look at what I can do with the scaling in the code.

I have the RG350M and have a similar issue. If I run a game straight from the emulator it fits the screen fine, but if I launch a game from SimpleMenu, it displays in the bottom-left corner of the screen. However if I exit SimpleMenu, run a game from the emulator, then go back into SimpleMenu, they launch fine after that - until I shut down again, then the problem comes back.

I can confirm, it works fine if you launch the game first from the emulator.

Thanks for this, it does seem to have an issue running from SimpleMenu, I'll look into it and hopefully have a fix soon.

can you try the version

tac08.0.0.3_full_screen_fix_test.zip

just posted to see if that fixes the problem.

It's working great for me now, thank you very much!

One more thing while I'm here - would it be possible to add an option for an alternate control scheme that uses Y-B instead of B-A?

cool, glad that's working now, I'll build a proper release for that fix. it shouldn't be to hard to get configurable controls into that release too, stay tuned!

Are you launching the game from SimpleMenu? That does seem to be the common factor in making the screen the wrong size.

I still have the same issue as before with the screen_fix_test .... Only full screen if a game is launched first from the emulator, if launched from simplemenu first, then only the left corner is being used

That's very odd, another user replied that it did fix the problem for them, I'll take a look into this further, but not having an M model its not possible to replicate it here. I'll also take a look at the SimpleMenu source code to see if there are any obvious issues there.

Problem is also fixed when Simplemenu is not used as Default launcher after reboot. So after startup, I start Simplemenu as app and then all the Pico-8 games start ok from Simplemenu on the rg350m. Thanx again for all the good work on the emulator...
