SDL_HINT_VITA_RESOLUTION(3)

💖 SDL_HINT_VITA_RESOLUTION 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual, where we're talking about SDL_HINT_VITA_RESOLUTION — and yes she is exactly what she sounds like 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_HINT_VITA_RESOLUTION — a variable that overrides the resolution reported on the PlayStation Vita 🌈

like. it just. changes what the Vita says its screen is. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_VITA_RESOLUTION "SDL_VITA_RESOLUTION"

copy that exactly, no cap, character for character 🫶

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this variable can be set to the following values, and I need you to read them carefully because the numbers are doing a little bit of a thing:

• "544" — 544p, and this one is the default ✨
• "720" — 725p for PSTV 👀
• "1080" — 1088i for PSTV 👀

yes bestie, I typed those exactly right. "720" gives you 725p and "1080" gives you 1088i. that's not me being silly, that's literally what the page says. iykyk 💀

important timing check: this hint should be set before SDL is initialized. so like, set it early, set it first, set it before anything else gets a chance to happen. not me showing up late to the resolution party 😭

---

🦋 AVAILABILITY 🦋

this hint has been available since SDL 3.2.0 ⭐

so if you're on something older, she's not there yet, no hard feelings 🌸
