OpenGL on the same system wil let you choose whether to filter, but unfortunately only the SDL version of SimCoupe uses OpenGL! The fact it needs to stretch at all is because the internal display is full width but half-height, to save on duplicating the extra lines in software. The future partial scanline support will require doing that anyway, so it's something that could be implemented at the same time. > as I'd like to have it look the same as the software-emulated > mode but run at the speed it does in DirectDraw mode as the > fuzzyness twists my melon after a while. The best you can do for now is to turn leave acceleration on, turn off the overlay, enable "force 8-bit" and run the emulator in full-screen mode. The palettised mode doesn't have the depth/colours for aliasing so it's always pin-sharp. > Also whilst I'm doing the wish list thing is it possible to > have a selectable speed (or just a 100%/200%/400% choice) It will be - that's already on my ToDo list! > that I can a) Code at 200% which is surprisingly nice and b) > Play Lemmings at high speed - but not that fast :-) For the coding part you could try running unsynced with the REPDEL/REPSPD values turned up to compensate (assuming the program you're using uses the ROM key scanner). Try: POKE 23561,200,20 and see if that slows the keyboard down enough to be usable - reduce both values if it's too slow on your system. For Lemmings I use the Turbo key, which is + on the numeric keypad by default, but can be remapped to a normal function key using the FnKeys tab in the options. It's great for bursts of speed to get you through the slow loading, or when you're set up for all Lemmings to walk home. Agreed that both of those would be better suited to a fixed faster speed. I've also had requests for slower speeds too, to help with tricky sections in games. Si
