Neat, I just started playing with residual myself, it's
awesome (and, for the record, is an engine, not an
emulator.)

It's an SDL window, and yes, it is only happy floating.
Games are often this way, as they aren't comfortable in any
but a few resolutions. Incidentally, you may find dwm does
not handle residual at full screen well at all. This is a
known SDL bug that nobody on the SDL side seems very
interested in fixing, unfortunately (search for 'sdl
reparenting fullscreen' to find issue).
