Fullscreen Hexen Possible

I'm playing Hexen and I really like the way it feels in the pandora. I set up the controls to move with the digital cross, turn and look with the right nub, and it's really comfortable.

The only thing that separates it from perfection is the fact that it doesn't use all the screen. I don't mind the vertical black bars that appear because of the 16:9 screen aspect ratio, but it would be great if we could remove the upper and lower horizontal black bars.

Is it possible?

this was my port and ive added the scale2x scaler. The best way I can think of to do this would be to use the SDL with hw scaling built in.

First thanks for your work, I don't stop playing your ports XD. Now, from your answer, I assume that can't be done without building another binary, can it?

actually no, the pnd needs to be repacked with the SDL lib and the calling script be setup with the correct lines to configure the scaling.

OK. I'll live with it as it's right now. Thanks again for your work and your kind help.

EDIT: A bit offtopic: is there a way to make Hexen save the configuration? Every time I run it, I have to configure controls because config is not saved (by the way, savegames works perfect).

Try pressing Alt + Enter to make it full screen :/ it could work right?

he isnt talking about fullscreen but fully scaled, the hh engines only support 320x200, i added scal2x which give 640x400, so there are black bars around the image.
