Native 640x480 in Windows 10

da na

Is there any way to get native 640x480 fullscreen in Windows 10? One game I play, Tetris Worlds, only runs in 640x480 and has no Options menu to change the resolution. On Windows 7 and below, the game properly sets the screen resolution to 640x480 and fills the entire screen, but on Windows 10 it runs in a little 640x480 window after setting the screen resolution to the minimum of 800x600, and looks blurry.

Is there any registry key I could change to add 640x480 support to Windows 10? I've tried setting the screen resolution to 640x480 in Nvidia / ATI / Intel graphics control panels but that didn't work.

Thanks!

Just an idea, what if you try to set it to something that is exactly 2x the resolution to what you want? Does it still look blurry?

 

It would mean 1280x960.

Screen resolution isn't that high, most of mine are 1280x800 or 1440x900

Windows 10 doesn't support under 800x600 for custom res.

Still no. Not on a Nvidia NVS, Intel GMA, Intel GMA HD, Intel HD, or ATI Radeon...

Well, thanks for the help. Must be display specific or driver specific.

yeah, sorry, i also think its a display thing tbh.

 

you're not going to believe it probably but I've been playing games in 360p on my 1080p display,  even though windows won't let you select this, it's just an ingame setting (i think it was monster hunter world) so yeah, it's probably a display / scaling thing somehow.
