[OLPC-Games] Need help with testing game real OLPC hardware.

[Fredrik Corneliusson]

Thanks for the quick reply Chris!

Nice to hear it worked.

It's quite small because it's optimized it for 640x480 to get the high
FPS. Does anyone know if there's a way to scale up a lower resolution
using the Geodes graphic chip to the native LCD size without loosing
to much performance?

Cheers,
Fredrik
