Hello everyone! I have a minor problem with BizHawk. For some reason, only the first two options (1x and 2x) work for me in View > Window Size. Whenever I try anything above 2x, it just stays at 2x. I can manually resize the window with the mouse to be larger than its 2x size, but the size options in the menu never take me beyond 2x. Am I doing something wrong?

Some additional information may be helpful to know:
  • Which version of BizHawk are you using?
  • Which cores did you experience that behavior with?

I'm using version 1.13.1. I'd try a newer one, but I'm limited to the 32-bit edition of Windows XP right now, so I think that's the last version of BizHawk released for my current OS. As for the cores, this happens on every core that I've tried thus far, which includes NES, SNES, PCE, and Genesis. Additionally, I noticed that I get massive frame dips whenever I enable vsync. This doesn't happen to me in other emulators, such as SNES9X.

Sorry for posting twice in a row, but I have an update on my situation. I managed to get on a PC with the 64-bit version of Windows 7 installed on it, so I downloaded BizHawk 2.3.0 onto there along with the prerequisite installer. Unfortunately, I'm still experiencing the same issues as before. Additionally, I've found that a couple of TG16 games aren't working at all and just give me a black screen. They are: Air Zonk, Bonk's Adventure, and Bonk III. Are these games supposed to work, or is there something wrong on my end?

If the screen is not big enough, it won't switch to a higher res with that menu.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

I think you're right about that. Thank you for the help.
