Hey, as all of you know, F4 toggles between FULLSCREEN MODE and WINDOWED MODE.
And F5 toggles between NORMAL SIZE and DOUBLE SIZE.
The thing is, I want to play RM2K games on my TV but the FULLSCREEN MODE in my computer is set to 320x240 and my TV doesn't support that.
When I run my computer in VGA mode, the RM2K runs in 640x480 just fine, BUT, I can't connect my TV...
How can I set the FULLSCREEN MODE to 640x480??
I know it IS possible because that's how it worked before I reinstalled my computer.
Thanks

I can't say i have much experiance in using TELEVISIONS as opposed to MONITORS. You could just change the RESOLUTION settings on the T.V. just before you start up THE WAY. It might be a bit of a HASSLE but thats what my friend usual DOES.

RM2k isn't made to run in 640X480 in fullscreen...
So I have no idea.

Look, it IS possible OMG!! XD
Run your computer in safe mode, open up THE WAY and there you go, F5 is a fully working option XD XD... (unless that it only happens in my own laptop then i dont know about it)
The thing is, i want that POSSIBLE WITHOUT safe mode because the video drivers that allow me to connect my laptop to TV wont run in safe mode, it runs in some basic thing instead, making it possible to run RM2K in 640x480 BUTTT!! Not letting me use the tv...
Then again, I used to play RM2K games with the video drivers and it was in 640x480!! Now that I reinstalled Windows it doesnt happen anymore...
Any ideas?

Why do you actually want to play Rm2k games on your TV?

Use a projector and a large wall.

WHAT????
Don't you know how sweet it is to be able to play THE WAY or whatever PC game on your TV? and using a controller?? Instead of this little screen and keyboard...
go here and see the pic:

That took more than five minutes to make, no doubt. Heathen.
And for the record, nice concept, but my problem with it is...well...It's not exactly cutting-edge graphics. I wouldn't go out and get a flatscreen plasma TV just to play the way. I mean yeah, if I had money and time to burn, sure, but I don't.

I already have a nice, comfy setup in front of my computer. And you can get controllers for your PC anyway. It's just be a waste of time for me to set up the TV because I would get to sit on a couch instead of a recliner. Wow... sounds worth it. Other than the controller (which can be done on PC anyway) and the comfort issue (which I solved years ago) there is absolutely no reason for me to stick it on the TV.

Hahahahah I understand how you all feel about me wanting to set up my laptop with a TV, but heck, let me be. If that's what I wanted... im not doing it ONLY to play the way, i wanna feel the same way playing SNES emulators as i felt with the actual console too... AND, play RM2k as if they were part of SNES also XD XD or anything that's on my computer.

The way might not be cutting edge graphics, but it's a hell of a lot better than most RM2K.

It should look more like this.
EDIT: Oh and the reason why the keyboard isn't attached to the laptop is becuase it's wireless... unlike everything else.

Nahh, it's clearly just the perspective. That or Sling is about a foot tall...
Yeah, I get the whole nostalgia thing. Luckily I find just hooking up a controller to the PC satisfies my inner-gamer.
