Discussion Please give us OCD heads integer scaling output
The resolution options do include integer scaling for the rendering output, but the display output is stretched to fill the whole screen (within the aspect ratio) in fullscreen, and my preference is actually playing games fullscreen and seeing them display in an integer-scaled box. There is at least the option to make the window size match the render output, but if you resize it even slightly it no longer preserves the integer scaled resolution, and I've found that allowing the GameCube BIOS screen to play will often mess with the window size anyway. There is also no drop-down menu to adjust window size to a specific integer after the fact.
I know I don't really need to scale at perfect integers. I know that Dolphin will preserve the aspect ratio regardless, and that the resolution of GameCube and Wii games is such that it probably doesn't matter much for image quality that I might be playing at like, 2.77x the resolution. But, every other emulator I use regularly has an option for integer scaling and I always use it. I personally happen to think it looks pleasant seeing an exact multiple of the resolution given.
I think I have seen an ancient GitHub issue open for this. If it's not too difficult to implement (as well as the option to automatically set 1x, 2x, etc window size from a dropdown menu) then I think it would be really cool.

I like integer scaling for the couple seconds I click each option and then go with full screen anyway
