Hi,

Wondering if anyone has any advice on having H-Bomb fill the screen on the sig3 (800x480)? The window appears to be hard coded at 640x240. Are there any options to set it or anything? I didn't immediately see any....

Notes:
-Tried winwatch and although it does let me adjust the content, it does not adjust the overall window size, presumably because it's VB...I guess?
-I have the source code for H-Bomb and I will look at adjusting the resolution in code as a last resort but I'd like to hear if anyone else has tackled this or knows how first.

Thanks!

Does Nydidot Virtual Display work on Sigmarion 3? Not sure, but you might want to look into that.

I've read warnings in a couple different places not to use Nyditot with the sig :-O

For example:

Quote
Warning... NYDITOT locks up the S3 when using the power button. For now we are pulling the
files. If you already have it, don't use it. You'll have to soft reset it for sure, and possible even have
to hard reset it.

There is also evidence that there may have been a working version at some point but....I'm not sure.

Copy folders to sig. try and run it.
It’s just a vb runtime program

You're the man. That is certainly much better, nigh on toward usable I'd say. Would still be nice to customize the resolution to match the sig3 though- since the source code is available, do we have the source for these differently-configured versions (like the XGA) so I could compare to figure out how the resolution is being set, do you know?

I'm not sure about that, but the original developer @JulioAngelOrtiz was active as of March in this thread:
https://www.hpcfactor.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=20843&posts=23&highlight=h-bomb&highlightmode=2#M184966
May be worth a PM or email.

In addition, @WinCEDev has a lot of experience and tutorials with VB programs. May be worth a PM to see if they can take a look at this thread.

Edit: unfortunately, I'm not sure where to refer for the XGA version source code
