alt+enter behavior, gb-pvr and pvrx2

[cprossu]

I am sorry if this has been asked/answered 10 million times, but here it goes--

GB-PVR
Whenever I start gb-pvr, it comes up fullscreen, and everything works fine, everything is still OK if I hit alt+enter and switch to windowed mode- but if I switch back to fullscreen (alt+enter again) the window comes up all messed up in a sort of not quite fullscreen mode

In order to get it running right, I have to exit and start gbpvr again..

pvrx2
Whenever I start pvrx2, it comes up fullscreen, and everything is fine, but if I hit alt+enter and switch to windowed mode, I am given a teeny tiny window every time, which although functional and stretchable, is annoying to see as no matter how many times you resize it, it shall come back from fullscreen this way.


my setup is a little screwy and might have something to do with it if it's not a common problem, so here it goes-
got an
Athlon64X2 3800+
2GB RAM
WinXP Pro
ATI Radeon 1900XTX (Catalyst 6.10)
Dual monitor setup
Adaptec AVC-3610 USB dual tuner capture card (using MCE drivers from HP)

A small number of people have alway had this problem. I'm not sure what it related to. The majority of people could switch back and forward to fullscreen as many times as they liked.

This was a bug in the new UI. Its fixed for the next release.


I must say...jeez you've got a lot of icons

thanks for the speedy reply-

I must say...jeez you've got a lot of icons

yeah I do, and that's just on one screen


also I am curious on the advantages of pvrx2 as opposed to gbpvr and the features that will eventually be added into it.

This is only sort of related, but I like the aspect-ratio lock on resize that was added. Sometimes I'd get a window sized oddly coming out of full screen and I hated trying to resize without skewing the picture.

Cool - I'm glad someone liked it. I thought I'd get complaints.

Hey - I didn't even notice this one. And yes, I also like it. Is this both for GB-PVR and PVRX2?

This is a new feature only in PVRX2. I pretty much didnt make any changes to GBPVR.exe in 1.0.8 (or future releases).

does it lock the aspect ratio to the tv shape selected in the config app?

Its actually relative to the resolution of the screen, but you'd need the tv shape set correctly. ie, on a 16:9 tv, the window stays 16:9 in window mode.
