Here's the situation...

SNES window naturally opens in 640 by 480 for me. I would  love to change the window size to either full screen or a larger window size. I do this by pressing "Esc" and selecting the video options. On the screen where you can choose from several different window sizes both full screen and windowed, I have attempted to choose a larger size (1024x798) for example.

2 different outcomes happen as a result of attempting to change the window size...

1) When selecting full screen, the screen turns black for up to 10 seconds. Afterwards, a message pops up stating that my video card may not be able to handle full screen mode (That's the gist of it).

2) When selecting a larger window size, the screen will stretch to the correct size, however, the RGR page that plays the game within the purple framed box will remain the same size (Found at the top of the screen it states size = 664 etc.).

I run a windows 8.1 64 bit OS with fairly powerful technology including a video card capable of handling modern day games like Red Alert 3, Civilization 5 and so on. There is no reason as to why my video card should be an issue in regards to the SNES emulator. I'm uninterested in switching to another emulator as all my saved data are found on the RGR. This leaves me to wonder whether or not I am doing something wrong or this is a David will eventually fix kind of thing.

Thanks in advance!

 tRUINE : should know the answer to this one

UFC : I believe you mean
tRIUNE :

Yeah ZSNES can be tricky with video resolutions. Have you tried each available setting for '1024x798'? For example DS F, DR F, etc.

tRIUNE : Yes I just tried each of these options. All of the larger windowed resolutions will perform the second operation stated in my original post. The settings for the window option stretch to the correct size but the purple frame surrounding the game remains in it's original 640x 480 size but stretched. The fullscreen options perform the 1st operation stated in my original post. These result in a DirectDraw7 error.

My monitor is naturally in a 1920 x 1400 size but I don't believe this should be a problem.

Have you tried the next higher resolutions like 1280 x 1024, or 1600 x 1200? I really wouldn't know without trying for myself on your monitor since my monitor is 1366 x 768 and if I enter that in a 'Custom' resolution I get a DirectDraw7 error, but 1024 x 768 DS F works.

tRIUNE : Yes, I have tried those too. I don't seem to have any problems when playing with an offline version of the zSNES emulator though. This makes me think it has more to do with the RGR than something I might be doing wrong on my end. 

I will attempt to change my screen resolution and see if this alters anything.

Windowed doesn't seem to change anything regardless of what resolution I set.
It always reverts back to 640x480

All resolutions work fine for me in full screen, including custom resolutions.
If you want to play full screen, have you tried mednafen?

tRIUNE : Update. I have changed my screen's resolution to my lowest possible setting and only made my screen look worse. It did not improve the RGR's compatibility with windowed or full-screened mode.

I have decided to incorporate 2 pictures. Please click on the pictures in the link in order to get a larger view of it.

This is a picture of how my screen looks in it's normal resolution but the window which the game is played in is in full screen. This is how I can normally play my game. It shows there are several words on the left side of the picture regarding information about crashing etc.

This is a picture of how my screen looks when I attempt any different windowed resolutions. As you can see, this picture only shows a corner of the actual game. When I use a version of the same player offline, I can use a full screen or windowed setting with no hassle. It seems like this is not a problem on my end.

Fireproof : To me those images look like you have the window maximized. The buttons in the top right corner should be in the top right of the game window and not in the top right of the browser. Unless you have your browser set to open new windows in current tab or something.

The highest resolution supported in ZSNES is 1600x1200, but even with a larger monitor, it will still go full-screen although won't fill the entire monitor.

tRIUNE : I've attempted this in both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox and the results are the same. There are no options in my Google Chrome to force my browser to open a new window in the current tab. Google Chrome always opens games run through Vizzed in a new window, not a new tab.

In my last post I specifically stated that the window is in full screen. When you look at the picture, it's obvious that the window is in full screen. I don't know anything about the buttons in the top right not fitting how you stated, it looks normal to me.?With that said, I don't know if maximizing the browser's window should also maximize the RGR Plugin running my game. If it's suppose to, it doesn't. If it's not suppose to, this leads to the other issue at hand.

Referring back to my second picture... when I enter the menu by pressing "Esc" on a SNES game I will choose from the list of resolutions and set them to the game. Choosing any full screen resolution (Regardless of Full Screened Browser or Windowed Browser) will result in a black screen. Choosing any non-full screen resolution that is in a window will result with the SNES game, itself, expanding but the frame of the game does not expand to meet the size of the new resolution.

If this issue is caused by the buttons in the wrong place then this appears to be a RGR Plugin issue. I always play through Google Chrome on my Windows 8.1 OS. How can I get this bug or glitch or problem taken care of?

Here is what it looks like in a window:

Herre is what it looks like when that window is maximized:

tRIUNE : this isnt the right threa dbut i had the last reply in the crimson echoes one so i have to post here, i have renamed the crimson echoes fule to flames of eternity. Now what do I do then? the file is located in my downloads folder on my computer do i need to shift that some place else? when I try to load save state for flames of eternity it only goes to the one i have for that game instead.

UFC : Okay you have to rename the save state file in this directory:
C:ProgramDataVizzedVizzedRgrPluginUser-141589ZSNESSaves

(not the ROM in the Downloads)

tRIUNE : Dude, the issue isn't about how the Browser's window maximizes, it's about how the game won't adjust the resolution to that of which I change it to. Are you even bothering to read through my damn posts?

THE PROBLEM RELATES TO CHANGING THE EMULATOR'S RESOLUTION

Please read through my post and attempt to understand the problem without inferring based on reading a few words.

Davideo7 : I need your help, please if you have a moment.

This might sound kind of contradicting, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to try.

Have you tried going full screen at the current resolution that the plugin opens up for you? For the snes, it opens up at 640x480 S W. Have you tried selecting 640x480 DR F or 640x480 DS F?

It might not stretch throughout your whole monitor, but in my experience, it is bigger than the one that the RGR plugin opens up to.

Mistress : Yes, I've attempted opening the SNES in 640x480 full screen. Maybe there's something specific on the emulator I am missing altogether. Are there any differences between the RGR version of the emulator compared to the downloaded version of it?

The above link takes you to a picture of what happens after fullscreen mode fails. It displays a directdraw7 error in all resolutions for the SNES emulator. Maybe my computer is missing something?

I've tried to resolve this to the best of my ability, I'm sorry I don't know the answer.

I don't think so. Maybe the offline version might be more up to date, but I'm not having any problems with the current version in the RGR.

I think that directdraw7 error might be what we need to solve. I tried running the emulator on windowed resolutions, and I have the same problem with it for the RGR purple boarder not adjusting to the game. However, I have no problem with the full screen resolutions (except when I try to go over what my monitor can handle, that is).

By any chance, did you move your RGR files to the computer you have now from your old one?

If that's the case, then from what I've gathered, you can try deleting your zsnesw.cfg file from your RGR folder and make a new one using the computer you have now.

Uhm, I'm not sure how to find it for Windows 8.1, but I hope it's something similar to this;

Start > All Programs > Vizzed Retro Game Room > Open plugin data > User-xxxx (your user ID) > ZSNES

And you should find it there. Delete that and open up a snes game and try to configure your resolution. A new zsnesw.cfg file will be created when you open up a snes game on Vizzed.

Mistress : It appears that windows 8.1 hides some of the Vizzed data. Searching through the C drive for the correct file leads to some of the Vizzed data but not all of it. Program Files (x86) has Vizzed Retro Game but not all the files. I recommend for anyone with the same problem to run a search on Vizzed to get to the other data AND make sure you have the downloaded RGR Plugin in your downloads folder.

For some reason, my Plugin Data folder requires the installation package to continue. After I've investigated this issue I'll add an update.

Update: The installation package was required to access the Plugin Data folder. After I deleted the configure file for the snes I tried to change the video setting for the emulator and I am still not able to access any fullscreen setting. The window setting also work the same as they did before. I also took the liberty to ensure that my computer is up to date and it is.

Update: Took the liberty of deleting my video card and installing my video card from a fresh download. This did not resolve anything. Could it be that my 1920 x 1080 natural and recommended screen resolution is somehow related?
