[OSX] White bar on right side when in Full Screen

[Whippingpost100]

Have a 16 inch Macbook. Any way to get rid of the white bar?

@Whippingpost100, please go into DeSmuME.app and choose Help > Submit a Bug Report, and then follow the onscreen instructions. I will need you to post the DeSmuME Troubleshooting Information here.

Also, can you provide the steps to reproduce this issue? I use a 16-inch MacBook Pro myself (a 2019 Intel model), and I cannot reproduce this issue at all. My suspicion is that this problem only affects Macs with an M1 Pro/Max processor.

Can confirm this is an issue due to the M1 chip. Moved over all my roms, exact build of desmume from an older mac which never encountered this issue from Desmume.

So I've done a bunch of testing on my M1 iMac, and I can't reproduce any of the aforementioned graphical issues no matter what I try. The only thing I can suggest is to delete the user defaults file and see if that fixes the problem.

The easiest way to do this is to run "Delete DeSmuME Preferences.app" that is included in your installation package. You can also do this manually by deleting the file at "~/Library/Preferences/org.desmume.DeSmuME.plist".

I've tried this and unfortunately the issue still persists.

Could it be a problem with the macOS install on the local machine? I test using clean installs of macOS on a USB thumb drive to ensure that no third-party stuff is getting in the way.

@powerfulstone, would you be interested in running a test? If you have an external drive with 80 GB of free space handy, you could make a new partition (or APFS container) that is 80 GB large, APFS formatted, GUID partition style, and install a fresh copy of macOS Monterey on it.

I use OpenCore Legacy Patcher to ensure that I can download my choice of Big Sur, Monterey, or Ventura. OCLP also makes it easy to create bootable drives using whatever downloaded macOS installer you choose.

Try running DeSmuME v0.9.13 off this fresh copy of Monterey and see if the problem persists.

For anyone coming across this issue: turning on the "Scale to fit below built-in camera" option seems to solve the issue
