Graphics feature	State	Notes
Widescreen resolution		Widescreen support via the DDG Modernizer.
Multi-monitor
Ultra-widescreen		Ultra-widescreen support via the DDG Modernizer.
4K Ultra HD
Field of view (FOV)
Windowed		Windowed mode only works if the resolution selected via the game's launcher doesn't have the same Y resolution as the desktop, otherwise it leads to a crash on boot. This behavior can be fixed by installing dgVoodoo 2 or by using the Borderless Window mode of the DDG Modernizer. In both cases, the windowed mode of the game will show incorrect gamma presentation, making the game overly dark, so it's suggested to play in fullscreen.
Borderless fullscreen windowed		See Windowed.
Anisotropic filtering (AF)		The game forces 16x anisotropic filtering.
Anti-aliasing (AA)		The game doesn't support any anti-aliasing natively, but MSAA can be injected via dgVoodoo 2. MSAA will cause some small artifacts on the HUD. Alternatively SSAA can be utilized by forcing a higher Display Resolution via dgVoodoo 2.
High-fidelity upscaling		See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Vertical sync (Vsync)		The game makes use of a badly implemented frame rate cap, which cause a lot of micro stuttering, see Frame pacing issues
60 FPS		The game is capped at 30 FPS but can be unlocked to run at 60 FPS, see High frame rate.
120+ FPS

High frame rate

Enable 60 FPS

Open Windows' Registry Editor. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TAITO\電車でGO! FINAL\ under the Computer category. Double click on the frameskip entry on the right side. Change the value from 1 to 0 and close the Registry Editor. Notes Due to a system language conflict on displaying Japanese characters, 電車でGO! FINAL won't be probably shown in the registry path, a series of different characters will be shown instead. This doesn't affect the functionality of the registry keys. The game has serious micro stuttering issues even after enabling the 60 FPS, see Frame pacing issues.

Frame pacing issues

Install dgVoodoo 2 and Special K

Install dgVoodoo 2. Manually install Special K by renaming the SpecialK32.dll to dinput8.dll Open dgVoodoo.conf inside the game folder and change PresentationModel from auto to flip_discard Enable the Special K frame rate limiter at 60 FPS. Notes This fix is intended to be used with the game unlocked to run at 60 FPS (see High frame rate). It's suggested to run the game at a native 60 Hz resolution to have more consistent results.
