[HP-50g] Resizing the screen to 131x64 Message #1 Posted by jerome ibanes on 24 May 2012, 12:13 a.m. Hello, Some applications, written for the hp-48gII for example, do not display properly on the HP-50g, due to the larger screen. Is there a flag or an application that would "reformat temporarily" the screen to 131x64 (from 131x80)? Thank you

Re: [HP-50g] Resizing the screen to 131x64 Message #2 Posted by David Hayden on 24 May 2012, 3:56 p.m., in response to message #1 by jerome ibanes I'm not aware of any such program/command. Then again, I'm no expert. Can you give an example of a program that's causing problems? If you show something specific, then maybe someone will have a good solution. Dave

Re: [HP-50g] Resizing the screen to 131x64 Message #3 Posted by jerome ibanes on 24 May 2012, 4:40 p.m., in response to message #2 by David Hayden An example would be: The Terminaltor 0.45 Beta http://www.hpcalc.org/hp49/utils/terminal/term_045.zip There's a GFX flicker with things such as ZeldaHP 49 0.3 http://www.hpcalc.org/hp49/games/adventure/z49_03.zip (read comments: http://www.hpcalc.org/details.php?id=3035 ) and most of the applications compiled with openfire. Those are just two basic examples, but many more applications are affected by this bug. I assume this wouldn't affect the 48gII which has the 48's 131x64's screen resolution (although it is inferior hardware in my opinion.)
