2x upscaling (pixel-perfect enlargement)

[Iwant Kropotkin 0]

Hey again!

 

Basically, I'd like my game window to display its content in a way similar to that of emulators when set in "2x mode" or something - that is, with a pixel's size simply being doubled with no interpolation applied.

 

Note that I do not wish to increase the native resolution per se - I just want the output to be displayed at twice its actual size. I know it's possible to change the resolution in itself, but that's not what I'm looking for.

 

To make things clearer, here are two screenshots: What I have right now and what I'd like to achieve.

 

The reason I want to do this is because there are two issues that bug me: First, the native 640*480 resolution of the windowed game is way too small, and only occupy a small portion of the screen ; second, going full-screen is problematic with most graphics cards as they blur the final output, which looks awful.

 

So, the only compromise I can think of is being able to make a "nearest-neighbor" enlargement of the windowed game - definitely not perfect, but still better than tiny resolution or messed-up graphics. However, if you think you have a better idea, please do tell me.

 

Thanks!

The problem with RpgMakers is that they don't do window enlargement very well and things tend to get...messy when you try. You might find a script that'll do it, but i know from past experience that it never looks good. everything in the rm compiler is set on specifics down to the pixel.

 

Good luck.

it should give the custom resolution you wanted but i'm not entirely sure how it works. 

 

Good luck tho
