Essential improvements

dgVoodoo 2

Can be used to force higher resolutions, anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering.
Bilinear blit stretch makes the pre-rendered backgrounds less pixelated on higher resolutions.
Instructions[1]
  1. Download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2 and unpack it (verified working on version 2.54).
  2. Copy all the files from the MS folder.
  3. Paste the files into the game installation folder.
  4. Run dgVoodooCpl.exe and configure the settings to you liking.
  • Game uses DirectX in hardware mode, so the above mentioned improvements should be activated in the DirectX tab.
Increasing HUD and subtitle size[1]
  1. Run dgVoodooCpl.exe and in DirectX tab select your desired resolution.
  2. In game video settings select a resolution that is lower than the one set in dgVoodoo 2. The lower the resolution selected in game, the bigger the HUD and subtitles will be rendered on screen. Don't select a resolution lower than 640x480, because that will reduce the quality of pre-rendered backgrounds.
