At the moment my desktop is at 1920x1080.
If I start a GG game it uses the desktop resolution, right? Right.
What happens if a player has a 4K desktop resolution? I guess then it will start in 4K?
What happens with the menu background art? Will it upscale to 4K?

It would be great, if we could select the resolution for our games.
U want to create a retro game? Ok, set it to 640x480.... or 320x200 or 720p
Maybe could be done by the settings.ini? I don’t know...

It would be also great to give the player the option to select the res. he want to use.

Yes? No?

I'm pretty sure you can already do that via scripting, you would have to edit the titles scripts to do it, not sure how though.

Then it should be added to the global lua script, that it change the res. on startup. (?)

If it can be set anywhere it will be the .ini file.

If scripted correctly all images/sprites etc will be scaled automatically no matter what resolution is used.
Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!
