Issues fixed

Increase window size

Resize Window^[1]

In <path-to-game>\mkxp.conf, winResizable needs to be set to true.

The window can be resizable to any size manually, or with an app like Sizer or Borderless Gaming. See other options in Force borderless fullscreen windowed mode.

Game stretches but Maintain Aspect Ratio 4:3.

Maintains native 640x480 resolution. Smooth Scaling can be set in <path-to-game>\mkxp.conf (smoothScaling, true or false).

Error "No such file or directory - Audio/BGM/..."

Change affected filenames in <path-to-game>\Audio\BGM\^[2]

Go to <path-to-game>\Audio\BGM\
Change filenames with underscores _ in the filename, to apostrophe '. Affected files are:

What You_re Up To - Kan (Reives) Gao.ogg ⇒ What You're Up To - Kan (Reives) Gao.ogg.
Neil_s Machine (Vibraphone) - Kan (Reives) Gao.ogg ⇒ Neil's Machine (Vibraphone) - Kan (Reives) Gao.ogg.
Neil_s Machine - Kan (Reives) Gao.ogg ⇒ Neil's Machine - Kan (Reives) Gao.ogg.
