MythGame question

So I wanted to try out the new SNES support in MythGame. When it
launches snes9x, it's in a window (with WM decorations) and not
fullscreen. As far as I can tell, there is no fullscreen option for
snes9x. Does anyone else have this issue? I'm running at 800x600
through TV out.

Also, for the NES support, I installed fceu, but it launches in a tiny
window that is just grey, and nothing shows up. I hacked it to use
xmess instead, and that seems to work better.

So, if others are getting full-screen NES and SNES emulation, please
describe your setup. Thanks!

It seems the -fs option tells snes9x to do fullscreen. Check out the
readme for more switches. I'm having issues getting it to scale to the
full screen size though. Hopefully I'll have time tonight to look at
that.

Also, mythgame calls snes9x with the -lr option, which doesn't seem to
work for me. Not sure if it's important or not...

there was a post a while back by todd malsbary about this. for fceu to do
fullscreen you have to get a patch for it, try searching the dev archives.
personally i would recommend trying to use the patched fceu, since xmess
doesn't support all NES roms.
