Magpie and lossless upscale.

[topcat37]

App that takes any application running in a window, makes it fullscreen, and applies different upscale algorithms . I have tried both of these and they work pretty good. If you don't have the best system these might be able to help. I prefer Lossless upscale, but you have to buy it through steam.  It is usually $5 but it's on sale for  $2.99 for the next two days. Lossless has more options . Magpie is free. These programs can even be used  to upscale video playback. For the game you set the game to a window mode and a resolution (example 800x600) and let the program upscale example (1360x1024).

I use a radeon 6600 and seem to get a nice boost in detail using Ls1 plus It solved a problem I had running the game in full screen mode and trying to get back to desktop to check other programs. You can just use the hot keys to unscale the game.

Thanks a lot for that post, I don't know that kind of tool

I'd be interested in the opposite - running a game in 2x resolution and scaling it down. Is it possible with this tool?

There is a thread on custom resolution for magpie that might help you?
