For anyone who needs it:

I’ve created a Google Sheet tool that allows you to explore different integer scaling options for retro games on various handheld devices.

I was heavily inspired by Shaun Inman’s excellent utility, but found that it didn’t have my specific device (Logitech G Cloud) and didn’t include a simple overscale option - so I made my own, far less sophisticated (but perhaps more flexible?) tool.

Key features include:

• Selections for a range of devices and consoles, with ability to input custom dimensions
• Calculated comparisons of stretching vs. integer scaling vs. overscaling
• Detailed outputs including image diagonal, scaling multipliers, and black bars or cropped pixels.

This tool is designed for you to fine-tune your display settings for an optimal gaming experience.

Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.

Example Use Case: I use this tool to decide which consoles I should integer overscale when playing on my Logitech G Cloud via RetroArch. By inputting the console’s original resolution and comparing the scaled outputs, I can easily see which settings will give me full-screen gameplay without excessive cropping or awkward black bars.
