Increase rendering resolution

Use dgVoodoo 2[5]
  1. Download the latest stable release of dgVoodoo from its official website or Github, then extract the contents of dgVoodoo2_*.zip to its own folder in a convenient location on your computer (e.g. Documents).
  2. Run the dgVoodooCpl.exe, then configure the following settings from the General tab:
    • Output API: Best available one or Direct3D 12 (feature level 11.0)
    • Adapter(s) to use/enable: <your video card>
    • Scaling mode: Stretched, keep Aspect Ratio
    • Miscellaneous: Uncheck Capture mouse (the game does not use mouse controls)
  3. Now go to the DirectX tab and configure the following settings:
    • Videocard: dgVoodoo 3D Accelerated Card
    • Filtering: Leave at App driven to prevent blurring the image
    • Resolution: Set to Max (uses your system's highest native resolution)
    • Behavior: Uncheck Disable Alt+Enter to toggle screen state
    • Antialiasing (MSAA): Set to App driven or 2x-8x
    • Miscellaneous: Uncheck dgVoodoo Watermark, Force vSync, and Apply Phong shading when available
  4. Click Apply dgVoodoo 2 should save the configuration file to where you have it installed by default, then copy the dgVoodoo.conf to <path-to-game>. Alternatively, click the Add button and point the program to where you have the game installed to save it there.
  5. Go into the MS/x86 folder from your dgVoodoo 2 installation folder, then copy the D3D9.dll file to <path-to-game>.
  6. Launch the game. The game should be rendering higher than the internal 720p lock.
