Scalergui is simple Python program, that acts as frontend for spe-scaler and fscaler. It uses Tkinter framework, which must be installed separately in Ps3 YDL (found in ydl base repo). You can do this via YUM (yum install tkinter). Spe-scaler and/or fscaler must also be installed, but other than that, you’re good to go. Just extract the package anywhere and run the scalergui.py. The program is licensed under BSD license, so you can take the source and work with it as you please. Check the details from within the package.

The reason for this program, is to have an easy way for changing the scaler options, as it is command-line program only. It is supposed to keep on running on the background and when you need to change the scale or disable it, just make it active by alt-tabbing to it, and pressing the hot keys. It doesn’t need to be visible in order to work, as long as it is the active window.

I take no responsibility if it doesn’t work or causes some problems, but please report all defects to me, so I can make it better.
