BooBoo 2.3.7

2025-01-16

• Initial window size can now be set in shim5.json
• Add D3D9/OPENGL2 boolean constants
• Add lost_device/found_device callbacks. See the 'target' example for an example. OpenGL doesn't suffer from the problem, but on DirectX the graphics state can become invalidated, in which case the device will be lost, and when it's recovered, found. Any render targets you've rendered things to will be lost and need to be recreated in found_device if running on D3D9.
• The F12 (exit) key can now be configured
