Notes
- ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below
%PROGRAMFILES%
,%PROGRAMDATA%
, or%WINDIR%
might be redirected to%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore
on Windows Vista and later (more details). - ↑ Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (987410) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
- ↑ The game uses the same sprites as the Mega Drive version, which used a 320x224 resolution closer to 4:3.[1][citation needed]

- I would venture to guess widescreen is true, comparing the sprites to the Mega Drive originals, which did not need aspect ratio correction. Also, it wouldn't have correction in windowed mode anyway.
