Resolution and scaling

Game is rendered at 1920x1080, other resolutions are scaled anamorphically from that using bilinear scaling.
This will also effect on TV and Monitor filters.
The main gameplay is 256x240. Overscan area is cropped out and rest is upscaled into 956x896 pixel-perfect with nearest neighbor.
The game has three scaling modes: Original, Full and Wide.
All modes will stretch the earlier resolution using bilinear scaling as following:
  • Original stretches the game horizontally into 4:3 aspect ratio, resulting 1195x896 resolution.
  • Full stretches the game vertically to fill the space, then horizontally to stretch into 4:3 aspect ratio, resulting anamorphic 1440x1080 resolution.
  • Wide simply stretch the game to fit the whole 1920x1080 area.

  • 1080p on left, 1440p on right. Click on the image for more information and clearer image.

  • Game running in 4:3 resolution. Main gameplay is first pillarboxed to fit 16:9 aspect ratio of the game which is then letterboxed to make the game fit 4:3 aspect ratio window.
