Magpie stops scaling the game window about magpie

[Blinue]

What does that entail exactly? Would it also solve #538?

The plan is to maintain scaling even when switching windows, allowing the scaling window to stay in the background (the scaling window is not top-most anymore). Once implemented, this should resolve all unexpected scaling interruptions. This feature might be introduced alongside windowed mode.

I couldn't reproduce the issue with the trial version either. I plan to implement persistent scaling in the future, so I don't want to spend too much time on this issue right now. Thank you for reporting it!

In case it's useful: Magpie v0.9.1 auto re-scales the aforementioned game's window after it stops scaling it. v0.10.0 onwards though it doesn't, as shown in the video.

Where can I get a copy of the game? It looks like there's a trial version available, but I can't find the download link.

The trial version can be downloaded from: http://suezou.dyndns.org/dl2011/jellyfish/sisters/SISTERS_PLAYABLE_DEMO.zip

But I can't reproduce the problem with the trial version, it seems pretty different from the Ultra Edition. I can send some links about the Ultra Edition to your e-mail address if you don't mind sharing it.

Sounds reasonable, I will just use the Magpie v0.9.1 for this specific game.

Thank you for reporting it!

Thank you for developing this marvelous tool.

This will be awesome! I'm facing the same issue with multiple games in TeknoParrot (it's an arcade emulator) where the game window is clearly in the foreground but Magpie still doesn't upscale it, unless I use the shortcut to force the window to upscale. Is there an ETA for this new feature to be released? Thanks.
