Picture review
ok: Quake's shareware episode as it looks, lighting, textures, the HUD; the interface tiny at 1080p
| Stretched or squashed | no |
|---|---|
| Smallest text | 8 px at 1080p: the status bar's numbers and the centre messages ("This door is opened elsewhere"): Quakespasm's interface scale 1 at 1080p |
| Mouse pointer | hidden |
| Broken | pad menus (PS3/Walnut only): a DualShock 3 plugged in by USB but not activated (PS button) makes the menu cursor run up as if held: the kernel's hid-sony leaves the idle sticks at 0 (a kernel fix in progress) |
