It's a great emulator, for the Sharp MZ800 certainly the best in the world. Thank you for the excellent work. However, wouldn't it be possible to add the fullscreen display option ideally to some keyboard shortcut to make the experience more realistic? I've been using this emulator for a long time and I remember that I once made a quick and dirty change to the source code to run in fullscreen. Unfortunately I already lost it :-)

Hi Marek,
thank you for the praise, I'm glad you like my emulator.
True, the fullscreen mode is not now implemented. Probably just add an event that caught CTRL + ALT + ENTER and called the SDL_SetWindowFullscreen() function - that is easy.
However, it would certainly be good to add some sophisticated overlay menu, which would be quite difficult to add to the program.
I'm afraid that if the control remained only through hotkeys and existing window menus (not available in the fullscreen mode), users could have trouble controlling the emulator. I believe that they would find even those who would not be able to return from fullscreen to the Windows mode. For this reason, I am not yet considering the implementation of a full screen mode now.
