Is it possible to change the resolution?
What part of "there is no aspect ratio correction in the cores yet, and you are stuck to the cores default" didn't you understand.?

What part of Natehaxx' "maybe a forced/fixed resolution could be implemented in the future" didn't you understand?

What part of the cores do something akin ton 1:1 pixel mapping (times three or more (3x+)), and thats why you get strange aspect ratio jumps, when a SNES game switches to hires mode didnt you understand?

What part of "aspect ratio switching" missing, its still one of the most noticeable issues in all of the current builds didn't you understand?

Also - asking developers "if it is possible to change resolution" will result in a "yes" answer, always - which you get what out of exactly?

If it should be related to aspect ratio handling, what part of "before you implement custom resolutions, maybe check with Retroarch devs, if it breaks features like shaders, or their aspect ratio scaling" didn't you understand?

All of this information is available on this thread page. Thats why I'm asking.

Also - could you be a bit more concise, when asking a question - so there would less "interpretation space?" "Is it possible to change the skies color to red" for example, also could be answered with yes, depending on the circumstances. Actually "Is it possible to -" is a question that in probably 50% of the cases can be followed up with "it depends".

If this is you voicing, that you'd want aspect ratio switching to be functional in the cores. Good on you - your voice has now been heard.

If its you just having seen the images above - and now think that "high resolution mode" is an emulation feature thats actually "great to have" (it has high res in its name!) - although hires mode handling was described as an issue and a bug - go and read up on SNES hires mode. You are not missing out on a retroarch feature that doesnt exist.

(My crystal ball is working very well today.. Reading peoples minds, is a wonderful hobby to have... Especially, if they look at you with a inquisitive look, because they expect an answer to something they have said...)

edit: If you think "higher resolution is always better" - especially in 2D games (which are the majority of games with working emulators on the Switch, as of now) - how do you think the original sprites (look up sprite at this point) artist will feel about that? And why do you think some people like to use shaders when upsizing 2D games. With 3D games "higher resolution" almost always is better, because polygon models can easily be upsampled, and if you use some dithering on textures, they usually dont look too bad. As there currently arent any (except maybe some GBA ones) 3D games working in full speed on RA on the Switch in their native resolution, increasing resolution there isn't a high priority. Also - core specific settings (such as upsampling) that are different from default - dont work either. In general. On all cores. Right now. This would be the answer if resolution in your question would refer to rendering resolution in contrast to (scaled) output resolution.

Thats all the possible interpretations of what your question could entail handled. Glad to be of service.

"Can you haz BEST resolution, now?" No.

I really starting to wonder, why are you so salty? All your replies are a wall of cynical text, even on simple and/or small questions.

This threat showed you obviously have some problems, but please, solve them yourself instead of lashing out over and over again.

Don't mind that prick he is always coming off like a condescending dick. At this point he just likes to hear himself talk as he has made a habit of this throughout the whole tread. Obviously very easily triggered.

No different then any other forum online, people are gonna ask the same shit over and over again. If you cant handle it gtfo instead of typing books on how you feel.

And what resolution are we talking about?

Output resolution?
Rendering resolution?
Resolution changes as in aspect ratio modifications?

And what does "hardcoded" mean? By whom - and at what point?

Cpasjuste confirmed, that he can get hardware acceleration on different aspect ratio modes - no issue whatsoever. Including ones, where the aspect ratio is fixed to a "non default" resolution. So its not a Hardware specific issue. Retroarch has different resolution modes, that for some reason all are inactive right now - so its not a conceptual Retroarch issue.

Here are your actual answers concerning the "is it possible to change the resolution" question.

On output resolution: Probably.
Rendering resolution: Definitely.
Resolution/Transformation Retroarch is able to handle: Definitely
Resolution as something a dev can set: Definitely.

Now - what is my problem here exactly? Why couldnt I have answered the question more easily?

You know like Natehaxx' "we are trying to find it out".

Answer - there is no single resolution we are talking about here. And references to this are all over this page. ("Before you implement a fixed resolution, try to coordinate with Retroarch devs to make sure, by changing the output resolution, you are not hampering with filter or aspect ratio handling." "Game resolution changes in some instances from one second to the other.")

Here is why I couldn't just give a useless "we are looking into it" answer - because it wasn't clear, what the question was actually trying to glean.

That was my problem.

Sorry for implying that this was obvious - after several examples were already visible on this page. (= lashing out, apparently.)

But nice "we dont know, maybe its godgiven" answer to all of them - would have answered any question regardless of the subject. People in here asking "just easy questions" are very satisfied.

Ha, that strange guy, that has issues with - people asking the same questions, over and over, again - people asking questions that are not flashed out enough to communicate what they are actually asking, and with answers that are so ambivalent, that they could mean literally anything - but hey... gtfo, if you can't handle that, we want easy, small and friendly answers to whatever we imagine, we've asked. Over and over again. Whats that guys problem..?

This might be a dumb question since I don't know anything about all the technical stuff, but does hardware acceleration require kernel access?

yeah he can get it but this wont replace a proper gpu driver

He has hardware scaling, not acceleration. (Have to use exact language here.) Faux pas in the heat of writing the paragraph.

Just click on his profile and click ignore. Not that hard.
