Possible to display video info (resolution/refresh) after core is loaded?

Unread post by sofakng »

You can define the amount of time the video info is displayed (video_info from ini), but after a core is loaded is it possible to display the information again?

It would be nice to press 'i' or similar to display the input/output video_info at any time?

Please let me know if its already possible.

It would have to be a key combination that's defined by core in all probablility, or at least considerably more obscure than 'i' due to computer based cores requiring the full keyboard, but I agree that this would be a useful addition.

Or just put it in place of the IP address in the left-hand info window or something

That's a really good idea ... It would be nice to see it on the menu screen and you can display it as needed (ie. under/above the IP address).

That's a nice idea, would be good to also have the audio info there also if possible i.e. 48k or 96k. Could be quick way for people to troubleshoot issues.

I could raise a feature request ticket and see what Sorg says to it if nobody else has, or plans to.

Edit: just saw this was from last year not this year, it appeared in the recommended "threads like this section" and I thought it was new.
