Windowed[edit]
| Set in Config.ini[citation needed] |
|---|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
Config.ini. - Go to the bottom of the file.
- Add the line
fullscreen = 0 - Save your changes.
Notes - In some cases, this may cause strange issues with the mouse in menus, such as having to click to the lower right of a button for it to activate.

Stretched Widescreen[edit]
| Forcefully Stretched Widescreen[2] |
|---|
- Download the Skid_Sultan's Widescreen fix.
- Follow Dr.Skid's guide on how to properly configure the patch.
Notes - This patch utilizes the Dgvoodoo API to force the game to scale by stretching to fit.
- To play with a working cursor, the game must run in a stretched 4:3 resolution. This will make the game a bit blurry.
- To play in a stretched 16:9(Internally still maintaining aspect ratio), the game will have a desynchronized mouse cursor making it only playable with the keypad but with sharper image quality.
