Firstable, wow, including a debug build was a great idea, it's been enormously interesting. Thanks a lot 😀
Now here's the suggestion. Given that the debug build can actually output the data pertaining the screen modes being used, why not give it a lil bit more precision?
Specifically I'm interested in refresh rates. Currently you get a rounded down value (e.g. 70.09Hz for 320x200) but this number does nothing other than satisfy curiosity.
For it to actually be useful, it would have to display the whole number with as many decimals as technically possible. Why? so we can come up with custom screen modes with custom timings that replicate said exact values in order to be able to vsync properly and have real smoothscrolling, which's currently nearly impossible to achieve.
With powerstrip, I've been able to nail several modes with as many as 15 decimals of precision, and that's exactly what I'm asking here, make the whole number available (e.g. 70.000000000000000Hz)
Being able to alter the clock of the emulated video card to work at a manually specified refresh rate would be even better, but I guess that's easier said than done.
Cheers.
