So I tried to run VO on my kiwi phone (had no issues on my Sony Xperia Mini Pro) and ran into trouble due to the game resolution being set wrong.

The phone is a Sony Xperia Tipo (ST21a), running Android 4.0.4. VO is the latest version from the Android Market (err "Play Store"), 1.8.241.

I tried manually adjusting the resolution through the config.ini:
xres=320
yres=480
bpp=24

The errors.log reads the following:
* Found driver: "OpenGL ES GKGL driver". Type 5 etc
* Note: Didn't find exact match for 320x480x24.
* Here are the available modes:
* 0) 480x580x24
* and it picked mode 0

Which means I only see part of the screen and can not press any buttons, not even the ones I can see.

Is there any workaround for this?

1.8.241.1 ( "- Fixed UI being slightly too wide on some aspect ratios/resolutions." )
did not help either.

I'm surprised VO shows up as being available for the Sony Xperia Tipo. The screen size is too small to support VO effectively.

If you can post your openglESinfo.log file (located in the same place as the errors.log), I may be able to help.

Well, I dare to argue that any touchscreen device without lots of expensive techtoys is "ineffective" for VO, but I know what you mean :P

Try adding this to the [gles] section in your config.ini file (or add the [gles] section if it isn't present)

[gles]
rt_width=960
rt_height=540

Post the openglESinfo.log after you make that change.

It'll probably make the screen too small to be usable though.

Thank you ray, I'll try that when I get back from work!
