Supermodel Forum

I have compiled from current Source on my Intel NUC Mini-PC.
Recently i have update my OS from Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS to recently released 24.04.1 LTS.
Apparently all works but i have found this strange things now when i try to use/launch a game whit "supermodel" emulator....

I have tryed to googled the issue and apparently i have reach a similar old thread here:
viewtopic.php?t=29

My issue it's so similar but in my case apparently i can't fit my screen... my supermodel.ini have this line: When i load a games i can see clearly the windows of the supermodel opened at fullscreen but the game it's not fix full of my screen.... look my result:


In theory the game should use a resolution of 640x480 but fullscreen it's enabled.... my desktop resolution it's setted to 1920x1080 so the windows of supermodel it's open at full screen but the games it's be load in this little squadre on center of screen.

It's strange or it's normal ? I have tryed to set the XResolution and YResolution to 1920x1080 so whit this ok... the games it's load at full screen and it's maintain the correct aspect ratio but whit this high resolution the gameplay it's so slowly.

It's not possible to maintain a lower resolution but play the games at fullscreen ?

If i remember before to update my OS to current Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS whitout touching anythigs like this this things it's possibile.
Apparently also the source as been received some commit.... maybe some bugs has caused this issue ?

Thanks for any info in advance.


*EDIT*
Found an issue on github:
https://github.com/trzy/Supermodel/issues/154

Apparently i need to set manually resolution and fullscreen.... but the question remain.. i can't play at lower resolution at fullscreen ?

Low resolutions work for me on Ubuntu 24.04. But then when I exit, I lose the monitor. I have a dual monitor setup and Supermodel will start full screen on the primary monitor but when I exit, only the second monitor works and the task bar transfers to it. I have to re-enable to monitor explicitly in settings. If I click away to the second desktop while playing, I lose both monitors and have to enter a new console (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Fn) and reboot the machine. I honestly hate Linux and I'm sorry I don't have any tips here.

I don't think Supermodel is doing anything unusual. It must be some toxic mix of SDL's implementation and the underlying display system.

So... are my settings made correct?

In my case could it be the kernel and the intel drivers integrated into it?

I have also try one idea.... on Monitor setting for example it's not possibly to set the original resolution 496x384. I have also tryed to set the resolution supported on desktop like 800x600 it's supported also on desktop in 4:3 in full screen... but also here supermodel fail to get in fullscreen the games..
