Don't let my Steam Time decieve you: I actually have more than at least 50 hours with the amount of testing I've done with this app.

I spent the last few days testing games and in 95% of them the app worked beautifully. You can check out our Compatibility List review here!

I'm actually really surprised with how well this app works and with this developer, he seems to really care about this.

I actually spent years, to be exact since 2015 trying to find an app that does exactly that, from Dxwnd and Borderless Gaming to the obscure Sizer. This will certainly help preserve the games we love for years to come!

Now before you go a couple of notes:

- Even on a Emulator (such as ScummVM or DOSBox) that has some sort of support for Integer Scalling, I would recommend using this app, because this has better Scalling, even if it wasn't for that, in this app you can also force Anti Aliasing, which is a neat feature for games such as the early 3D games (Like: Arena, Daggerfall, Doom and Duke 3D) and ESPECIALLY Full Throttle, Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail and late 90's (beyond 1993-1994) 2D games, because it partially removes (in some cases 95% or more) the hard pixelated edges to smooth edges almost like it's HD or Flash Animation, since these games has more pixels/resolution that the previous 2D games (for those wondering, the anti-aliasing on 2D games makes it look like some sort of HQ3x BUT it does look WAY better than that or worse on different art-styles/ in-game engines and resolutions).

- The Force Resolution option is causing problems in multiple games works as intended BUT If you are on a higher or lower scale factor (in Lossless Scaling) than the proportion your monitor resolution is to the in-game resolution it may be a blurry mess or really good and sharp. Example: if your monitor is 1080p and the game's resolution is 720p, the recommended scale factors would be either 1.5 or 2: if you select beyond that it may get the game more sharper or it may be a blurry mess. And the latter happens WAY more often. So if it's a game that goes close to 1080p with the scale factor but features black bars, I would strongly recommend to have the black bars instead of checking the Force Resolution box.

- Another problem the Force Resolution box has is that it sometimes it LOCKS your mouse into where the window of the game you are or WERE playing was, which is hell to deal with. However, it does seem to have a solution, which is either closing Lossless Scaling or killing it's process. Fixed in the Beta Branch of the software.

Now, here is a couple of videos I made testing this app:
