VGA on a QVGA screen

[DaddyGoFast]

Hello everyone,

I have been looking for software that will allow me to run a VGA application on my PPC that is only equipped with a QVGA screen. I have seen the packages that do the reverse but, nothing that the direction I need.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try Nyditot Virtual Display 5 - a good app, and has a trial version so you can try before buying/cracking

Nyditot for all i know is only for ppcs with VGA display to enable SEVGA, what he is asking is to enable VGA apps to run on his QVGA screen, which if im not mistaken is not possible (if this was otherwise im guessing you'll need a microscope to read the damn font which is already small in QVGA) . For VGAs you cant try tweaks2k2's TrueVGA brute force without actually changing the resolution of the PPC, it only affects the program which was VGA brute Forced. This is useful for adobe pocket reader or IE to see all the contents without scrolling sideways.

I have an app that only runs on 640.480. It is a app that runs my home automation. It is built for PPC but has the resolution requirement.

Thank you very much. All I need it to do is to trick the app into thinking it is running on a VGA screen. I do not mind scrolling if I need to. Since it is a GUI for a secrurity system. The prints can be small as it is all button based. It looks kinda' like a remote control.

This is the software I am talking about:

this may not help much but how bout asking their support services to release a qvga version of it, im sure they are amenable to that since majority of today's PPCs are QVGA hence more revenues for them.

Yeah, I tried that. No go. They use the software on their WinCE touchscreen panels that use a 640*480 screen. They made the software available for free to the installers. THe panels are like $1000USD. They are not much into software.

Thanks for your help though.
