- Tested turning on and off anti-aliasing setting from my video card's control panel and can confirmed that turning it off by adding a profile for Nvidia Control Panel fixed the black screen problem for exclusive fullscreen.

- Using Borderless Gaming helped bypass the broken fullscreen on Windows 10 v1803, but the game is slightly stretched due to the game using the same aspect-ratio as the PlayStation Portable version and my display 16:9.
