320 x 240 resolution

[Red_Seeds_Profile]

Hey,

 

I want to use the visual style of the original PSX and N64 games. The standard then was fullscreen 320 x 240. The lowest I've gotten to work in Leadwerks is 640 x 480. Is there a way to force lower resolutions, or will I need to employ some kind of function that redraws the frames? Maybe that function already exists?

Thanks!

havent tried that in the app.lua? taught you can put in there any reslution

you should be able to

Use System:CountGraphicsModes and System:GetGraphicsMode to iterate through all supported resolutions. If 320x240 is not on the list then I would not force it, it may or may not.

I think this has more to do with the gfx card than LE.

maybe you can use some sort of shader for that? that would also make it independend of the real resolution.

Yes you can fake this in a shader.

Superquick mockup (will add to the pack in the ws aswell):

 

#version 400

uniform sampler2D texture1;
uniform bool isbackbuffer;
uniform vec2 buffersize;

out vec4 fragData0;

const int downgrade = 6; //at original 1920x1080, 6 yields  320x180
void main(void)
{
    vec4 modula = mod(gl_FragCoord, downgrade);
   vec2 newCoords = vec2(gl_FragCoord - modula) / buffersize.xy;
   if (isbackbuffer) newCoords.y = 1.0 - newCoords.y;
   fragData0 = texture(texture1, newCoords);
}

I tried plugging in different resolutions and the lowest I got working was 640 x 480. For 320 x 240, the screen flickered a couple times, but no dice.

You're probably right. I had the same problem with Unity. It was my understanding talking to other Unity users that 640 x 480 was the lowest supported display, so I figured it might be the same situation here.

 

Thank you everyone for your help. I will try some more. Shadmar, if you put together something, that would be so awesome. I'm a coding novice. Most people I know think that that low of a resolution is terrible, but I love it. I generally adjust display settings to get the most pixelation.
