./configure

Edit src/scripts/boot.lua

Change:

		screen = {
			width = 800,
			height = 600,
			fullscreen = false,
			vsync = true,
			fsaa = 0,
		},

		screen = {
			width = 640,
			height = 480,
			fullscreen = true,
			vsync = true,
			fsaa = 0,
		},

Afterwards

cd src/scripts/
lua auto.lua boot
cd../../
make

Notes about missing cursor in KMS/DRM

You can add a software cursor for that

KMS/DRM or FBDEV by default does not have a mouse cursor.

Because of that we have to create a software cursor for each game. It's a simple process

Download a cursor example: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/medeirosT/adwaita-2bit-cusors/main/left_ptr.png and place it in the game directory root.

Edit the main.lua

Edit the function love.load() and add -- Load your cursor image

cursorImage = love.graphics.newImage("left_ptr.png")

Hide the system cursor in the love.load() function:

love.mouse.setVisible(false)

Draw the custom cursor image in a new drawCursor function and call it at the end of the love.draw() function:

function drawCursor()
    local mouseX, mouseY = love.mouse.getPosition()
    love.graphics.draw(cursorImage, mouseX, mouseY)
end

function love.draw()
    -- Rest of the code

    -- Draw the custom cursor
    drawCursor()
end

Add cursor scaling to love.update()

local xOffset = (love.graphics.getWidth() - simpleScale.getScale() * gw) / 2
 mx = (love.mouse.getX() - xOffset) / simpleScale.getScale()
 my = love.mouse.getY() / simpleScale.getScale()
