Pixel-perfect scaling
- The game's graphics in this re-release appear rather blurry, regardless of resolution selected and the in-game Nostalgia video filter does not provide a clear nearest-neighbor image. Follow this guide by TheA_Gamer554 for a workaround to make the game run in a pixel-perfect scaled image; pre-made 4:3 and 15:9
setup.datfiles are available to download.[1]
