Low resolution, but fullscreen mode

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Low resolution, but fullscreen mode

Hey guys,

Has anyone tackled low res options in full screen such as unsupported modes like 400x255. I'm interested in playing with ultra low resolution pixel game ideas but am very new to Blitzmax and in my first run through see this might not be possible.

1) If your video card, drivers and monitor actually supports that particular specific resolution, so should blitzmax

2) you can fake it using blitzmax' virtual resolutions -- you can create a screen with a physical resolution of 1024x768, but address it as if it were much lower resolution.

virtual resolution is just what I needed, thanks.
