Recently acquired the latest 13" Retina MacBook Pro and have loaded up Dolphin 4.0-566. Before anyone starts flaming me for performance expectations/results, I'm well aware that this laptop's integrated Iris GPU isn't what anyone would call overly impressive. I have a modest gaming rig for that sort of thing, this is just Dolphin on the go.
THAT SAID--I notice that when I change my desktop resolution in OS X's Display preferences (I usually like to roll at 1680x1050) to 1280x800, that I can play any of my desired games at acceptable levels (again, I'm not here to debate the relative strength/weakness of the GPU).
Makes sense, no? Drop the resolution, gain a little performance. I buy it. And the FPS meter backs me up in my testing. But since I like to roll a little higher res in regular life, it's inconvenient to peel back the resolution just for Dolphin and then switch back for regular life again.
This got me to thinking about tweaking the full screen resolution in the ini file, and I found the value "FullscreenResolution = Automatic" under "[Display]". I've attempted to tweak around with the resolution in the file, though it doesn't seem to mirror the performance gains (or losses) based upon actual desktop resolution switching in OS X. That is to say, if I set the "FullscreenResolution=1280x800" in the ini file, I don't seem to enjoy the performance benefits of actually setting the resolution to 1280x800 in Display Preferences.
Anybody have any experience/suggestions with this? This probably isn't the appropriate venue for feature requests, but I'd sort of love it if I could set the full screen resolution within Dolphin.
