videomode 5x

Is there such a thing as a 5x videomode for the minimig core ?

You're probably meaning something like this? viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1497

It should be implemented in a "per core" basis, so hopefully it will be available on the Minimig core at some point.

That would be great. Also for the VIC-20, with its often massive borders. If mister.ini allowed for negative border settings, that could also accomplish this, with a bit more hassle.

You have had the ability to do 5x scaling in the Minimig core for years using the “Adjust screen position” option.

Yes, for Minimig we have to do it a bit differently, per-game. But support is in the core, so it’s coming. Stay tuned, I was planning a post that explains it.

I took a crack at this, well, 4x at least. Please let me know if I am doing this the wrong way.

I went into the overscan preferences in WorkBench and adjusted the PAL setting to be 270 pixels tall (1080/4) and then set the width to 676 (270x2.5=675, but WB would only allow for 674 or 676). I then used the Misters image adjust to maximize the visible underscan area. Once I had it dialed in I enabled the v-scale option and there was no change, so I assume I did in fact crop it to 270 pixels.
