Overview

When this hint is set, a standard set of emulated CVT video modes will be exposed for use by the application. If it is disabled, the only modes exposed will be the logical desktop size and, in the case of a scaled desktop, the native display resolution.

The variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": Video mode emulation is disabled.

• "1": Video mode emulation is enabled. (default)

This hint should be set before SDL is initialized.

Availability

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
