Frame Dump at Higher IR?

[Kurausukun]

More frame dump questions because I'm a noob. Frame dumps are only output at the resolution of the window, correct? Let's say I have a 1920x1080 monitor (which I do)--how could I dump frames at 4x (or higher) IR considering my fullscreen window can't reach that size?

You can't without hacking dolphin to allow making the window bigger than your screen.

How feasible is that? I'm not that knowledgeable, but if it's something relatively simple, I could give it a try. Also, isn't that a bit of a glaring restriction?

Pretty straight forward. This should do the trick:

Code:

Since you didn't bother to read the OP, to record a video.

Thanks a lot for the code, but I don't exactly know how to use it--would I need to download the source code, modify it, and then rebuild it? Because honestly, I've never done anything like that, and it seems excessive/not worth the trouble to enlist the help of a developer to that extent just so I can make a video look a little better. Thanks for your assistance either way.

Yeah, there's a build guide on github, it's not hard.
